I have been tutoring students from elementary school to graduate school in a variety subjects for more than 40 years. While studying Math, Science and Psychology at Davidson College, I began tutoring elementary level children. Later, while a graduate student at Duke University, I began tutoring undergraduates needing help with Math. The caliber of my tutoring with other students earned me a position on the team that tutored student athletes. Also, I tutored students in the Duke MBA program who needed help with courses in Advanced Algebra and Calculus.

Later, my wife and I decided to educate our children at home. We started with Kindergarten and continued through high school. As such, I assisted them with a variety of subjects over the years as well as with Math. This gave me experience with teaching all age levels and in a variety of subjects.

When I moved into teaching several years ago, I was certified in Secondary Math in Texas. I taught Algebra, Geometry, Math Models and Algebra II in the Irving ISD. In that capacity I worked with students who had a wide range of abilities in math, both the math-challenged and the proficient. Many of my students also struggled with learning disabilities. This gave me considerable experience with assisting those with ADD/ADHD, dyslexia and other challenges. In addition, I worked extensively with students to improve their testing strategies to help prepare them for the TAKS test, the ACT and the SAT. I am proficient in the WyzAnt system in the GED; ACT English, Math, Reading and Science; and, SAT Math, Reading, and Writing.

Although most of my work in teaching and tutoring has been in Math and Science, I have a broad educational background with interests in history, languages and the social sciences. My specialties include my ability to communicate in terms that are easily understood by the person with whom I am working. I work well with people of all ages, am patient and have an aptitude for explaining complex concepts in everyday language. I live in Irving and am currently available with flexible hours.

Chemistry

I have enjoyed chemistry since I was in elementary school and received a chemistry set for my birthday. When I was finally able to take chemistry in high school, I took to it like a duck to water. I excelled in A. P. Chemistry and placed out of first semester chemistry in college. Although my interests in math eventually won out over chemistry when I had to declare a major, I have never lost my interest in chemistry. I now study biochemistry and nutrition as one of my hobbies.

When I began teaching math in the Irving ISD I worked with my students to help them with their overall academic progress which included helping them to improve their study skills. In fact I am currently working with one of the students... Read More

Public Speaking

I have over 40 years of experience with public speaking. I took courses in the subject in high school, college and graduate school. For 22 years I served as a pastor in various churches from different denominations, which required that I prepare at least one sermon on a weekly basis. In addition to sermons, I have spoken at a variety of events, at times with little advance notice.

Linear Algebra

I began studying linear algebra during high school as part of my algebra II and pre-calculus classes. During college I continued my study with courses in linear algebra and abstract algebra. In those courses I worked with the properties of fields, vector spaces and linear subspaces. This included work with determinants, matrices, scalar operations, linear transformations, solutions of multi-variable systems of linear equations and functional analysis.
