I have a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from UCLA and a passion for mathematics and physics. In addition, I am a painter and write short fiction and poetry. Ultimately, learning is about using one's creative power and applying it to the different subjects; it involves recognizing one's strengths and using them to create knowledge structures that can support effective learning. That and creating a positive atmosphere are two of my main tutoring goals.

Here are some ideas of the tutoring areas I offer:

MATH
I can take complex mathematical concepts and break them down into manageable and tangible pieces that are at the current level of the student. No two students are alike in their learning; thus, as part of the tutoring process, I first acquire and understanding of the student's current capabilities and concerns. The existing understanding of math is truly the basis upon which tutoring is built. I tutor all grades in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus.

PHYSICS
Physics depends heavily on mathematical concepts and because physics deals, for the most part, with more tangible concepts, it is a perfect mix for students studying both math and physics.

SPANISH
Spanish is my first language. I offer tutoring in general grammar and prefer to focus on conversation, depending on the student's current proficiency.

ART
I work in oil and have a grasp of color and technique. Tutoring in art requires listening to the student's need for expression and seeking to unfold his or her natural talent. Ultimately the medium is a personal choice and the concepts apply to media other than oil.

COMPOSITION
As a writer I tutor students to think critically and find a way to structure their thoughts on various subjects.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS
I am currently working on a Master's in Education with a focus on English Language Learners. The idea of helping students acquire the language is personally important because of my experience.

ESL/ESOL

Learning English involves more than memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules; it requires conversation and practice in contexts that are meaningful to the student and will help reinforce proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

My approach involves discovering the current proficiency level of the student, getting to know the student's interests and goals, and then creating a plan that will build upon these important foundations. The process is ultimately a team effort... Read More

Elementary Math

I offer tutoring tailored to meet the Washington State K-5 learning standards for elementary education and flexible enough to adapt to the student's unique learning style.

My focus of one-on-one tutoring is in determining the student's perception of mathematical concepts, which will become the foundation upon which to build on new and more complex material. In addition, I work with the students to link the abstractions of math to everyday situations familiar to them.

Painting

I have been mainly a self-taught oil and acrylic painter for the last 10 years. My formal education includes two intermediate courses at the Everett Community College in the State of Washington with artist Irina Milton.

I have participated in the Edmonds Art Festival held every year in Edmonds, Washington for the last 5 years. I have sold four of my pieces in that time period at the show and received an honorable mention in 2012. I have participated in other smaller art shows and sold... Read More

I hold a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from UCLA with a GPA of 3.8 and have been working as an electrical engineer for Boeing since 2004. It is a challenging field that I have the luck to understand at a fundamental level. The applications of Electricity and magnetism, digital signal processing, circuit analysis, and others, are important aspects and requirements of many fields today. I offer a down-to-earth approach to teaching a subject that requires abstract learning by creating... Read More
