I am a trained Engineer, having attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, currently working in basic public sector scientific research. I have always enjoyed math and science, and enjoy imparting my understanding to new pupils.

Whether it's to edge closer to a 100 grade, or to move from trouble into a safe zone, all students can benefit from a little help, and I am able to find ways to help them do so through a thorough understanding of the material and the needs of students.

I have tutored students professionally for 4 years, from 6th grade arithmetic to college-level Calculus and all manner of maths in between. The secret to mathematics is that it has a set of rules that it absolutely must follow. Helping students to realize this simple truth, and to gain confidence in their own abilities sets them on the way to enjoying the material, rather than seeing is as a task or a chore.
I use mathematics in my profession every day. I use it as a tool to improve performance, to analyze effects and to diagnose issues. Without realizing it, we all use maths every day, from budgeting our spending, to planning out our day, to deciding how to put away our groceries. Indicating to students the ubiquity of math, and the ease with which we can master it, is the goal.

Homeschool:

Algebra 1

One of the building blocks to higher level mathematical skill. Algebra requires students to begin thinking abstractly, and helps them develop skills to solve problems whose solution is not immediately evident.

Algebra 2

One of the building blocks to higher level mathematical skills, Algebra requires students to begin thinking abstractly, and helps them develop skills to solve problems whose solutions are not immediately evident.

Algebra II builds complexity and real world applications on the basic tools of Algebra I, and provides new tools which will become skill sets for the more complex maths to follow.

Calculus

The apex of secondary maths, Calculus is a modern tool for the solution of complex systems.

Students in this course are already at a high level, and of great skill, but the course requires thinking along different lines than those that prepare for it.

Chemistry

A mixture of calculation and memorization, Chemistry is the study of matter and change.

Geometry

Geometry often represents the first time students are exposed to abstract concepts, and often stretches their ability to comprehend situations that have no bearing on their real life.
While not as practical a subject as algebra, geometry becomes vital to later study in physics and college level engineering coursework.

Precalculus

Precalculus develops the ability of students to master more difficult mathematical tools. It Involves many abstract concepts not immediately obvious in their usefulness.

As its name suggests, it's a precursor to Calculus, one of mathematics' most powerful operative tools. Precalculus students often require a second means of instruction to allow them to master the concepts, but like all mathematics, the subject has rules, and once the students master those, he or she can easily assimilate...

Trigonometry

Trigonometry is the mastery of more complex geometries and geometric relationships, and is the cornerstone of not only Calculus, but of many scientific and engineering subjects.

SAT Math

Standardized testing maths often ask questions from a student's past experience, rather than from current study. Problem solving skills are as important as raw knowledge of the subject.

ACT Math

Standardized testing maths often ask questions from a student's past experience, rather than from current study. Problem solving skills are as important as raw knowledge of the subject.

Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering is the practical application of a combined discipline in maths and Chemistry.
The course will require students to solve real world issues, with segments in various disciplines that build complete chemical processes.
Distillation will be used to study the purification or separation of chemical mixes; reactor design will study the best methods for process fulfillment, be it batch, flow or combinations. Students will apply chemical and mass and energy balance to ever... Read More
