EngineeringAbout Bill
After having worked 30 years as an engineer for major aerospace firms, I have recently decided to retire. I can now pursue the things I like to do. One of things I like to do is to tutor.
I love working with people, especially when they see significant improvement because of my help. I have been successfully tutoring the last six years
