I have 40+ years of experience as a dedicated tutor and Instructor. I am a skilled and qualified professional with the ability to share knowledge and reach youth through the creation and implementation of education and study programs.

I have a stellar reputation as a responsible, caring, and effective instructor who has developed and implemented a stimulating learning attitude. My career has substantial student diversity encompassing high school and college students from many different cultural backgrounds. I instill respect for the subject and a grasp of the fundamental principles.

Specific highlights of my accomplishments and qualifications include:

* Achieving goals and improving grades through positive motivation.

* Tutored 250+ students during the last 40+ years. Also have had tutored adults taking courses from DeVry University, Heald College, and other local Colleges. Student grades have gone from D's to A's in various math classes, and in Calculus AB / BC, Chemistry, and Physics earning 4s and 5s on their AP Exams. Also, helped students improve a great deal in their SAT and ACT scores.

* Build a strong rapport with Students and their Parents. Develop customized plans and materials for each session fitting the student’s learning style, and ensuring that parent’s desired objectives are always met.

* Diverse teaching career. While 20 years in the US Navy, taught Nuclear Engineering courses which included many Electronic and Electrical Engineering subjects, and while at Sun Microsystems for 14 years, taught 31 of the 42 courses offered which included systems administration, programming, and computer repair, and during off time I taught UNIX, Shell and Perl Programming (UC Santa Cruz, Berkeley’s College Extension, De Anza College). Applied and gained information in Physics while was at Lockheed as a Senior Software Analyse for the Shuttle team. While teaching a Sun Microsystem I won "Instructor of the Quarter" four times, "Instructor of the Year" three times, trips to Hawaii, San Diego, Barcelo

Perl,

Perl

I helped in the development of a one week course for Sun Microsystems and then taught it at least one every 5 weeks between 1990 and 2005. I also taught the course at De Anza College and UC Santa Cruz evening students from 1992 to 1996. I have a BS Degree in Computer Science, an AS Degree in Computer Technology, and an AS Degree in Electronic Technology. If the student does not have their own book, I use my lecture notes that I developed, tested, and taught. I assist the student in installing a Perl application on their computer and/or tablet. The student will also get a 584 page Student Guide that I developed to use. The course covers: * Creating Perl Scripts using scalars, arrays, hashes, and control structures. * Creating Perl Scripts that read, write, and search files for specific text patterns. * Creating Perl Subroutines, Packages, and Modules using the concepts and data structures described in the course.
UNIX

UNIX

I developed and taught 31 different computer, networking and UNIX courses at Sun Microsystem for over 14 years. I have a BS Degree in Computer Science, an AS Degree in Computer Technology, and an AS Degree in Electronic Technology. If the student does not have their own textbook required by their company or school, I use a Student Guide, "UNIX Essentials Featuring the Solaris 10 OS." It covers components of the desktop system, manage files and directories, creating and modifying files, controlling the user's work environment, and how to archive files and perform remote operations. I also use a 528 page Student Guide, "Shell Programming for System Administrators," developed by Sun Microsystems. This is to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary for shell script programming (sh, csh, ksh, and bash). You will learn shell script syntax, as well as analysis and design procedures, to successfully create shell scripts. The course takes allows you to automate tasks that you frequently perform on the job.

Great helping you reach your goals. Highly recommend. He has talk my son many different skills about math. Very imaginative kind easy to work with.

Jennifer, 10 lessons with Richard

Creative and respectful tutor

Richard worked well tutoring physics to our disabled son. He treated him with respect and taught creatively. Our son enjoyed working with him.

Susan, 2 lessons with Richard

Very patient and easy to relate to

Richard is very knowledgeable but was able to tailor his approach to suit my son who is very insecure about his math ability. Richard made my son feel comfortable and took his time with him.

Regina, 7 lessons with Richard
