About Scott


Bio

I am a recent graduate from Sonoma State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Electrical Engineering, so Math is certainly one of my strong points. I have many years of tutoring experience, and have helped many students to succeed in their math courses.

I am a recent graduate from Sonoma State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Electrical Engineering, so Math is certainly one of my strong points. I have many years of tutoring experience, and have helped many students to succeed in their math courses.
I began tutoring for Oxford Tutoring Center, located in Riverside, CA. There, I taught as many as 20 students per week in a variety of classes with students ranging from age 8-18. After working there for a few years, I started my own business, tutoring privately in the student's home. In this position, I tutored about 6 students per week in the same subjects for the same range of ages.
As a tutor, I like to focus on the bigger picture of things: why it is so important that the student learns these concepts in order to keep building on them. Math is certainly a subject in which one topic builds on the next.

I would love to help you student to succeed with their Math class!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering, so mathematics was definitely a starting point for my education. I have also tutored many students in this subject, for the company Oxford Tutoring Center, as well as privately.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have tutored students in Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, and Calculus for over 7 years. I use mathematics quite often in my studies as an Electrical Engineer.
Calculus

Calculus

Skillful as a tutor in Algebra, Algebra 2, Precalculus, and Calculus.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I have taken this course at the college level and did very well in it. I use many of these same concepts in my studies as an Electrical Engineer. I have also tutored many students in this subject matter, and feel quite confident about my abilities.
Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering

I am a recent graduate from Sonoma State University with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. Also, I am currently tutoring another student in college level Electrical Engineering course work. I am very passionate about this field and love to share my knowledge with students.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have tutored many students at the Elementary level and helped them to move on to higher levels of mathematics. In my college career, I have taken advanced Math all the way through Calculus and Differential Equations. The use of these Elementary Math concepts is crucial to developing good math skills in these classes; they are the foundations.
Geometry

Geometry

I graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering, so mathematics was definitely a starting point for my education. I have also tutored many students in this subject, for the company Oxford Tutoring Center, as well as privately. We use geometric concepts quite a bit in Electrical Engineering. We use the concepts of area, perimeter, and volume to help us solve problems. We also use the cosine, sine, and tangent functions quite a bit and right triangles to help us solve for particular unknown quantities.
Logic

Logic

During my studies as an Electrical Engineer, logic has been a core component. I have taken Math courses which specifically focused on logical operators such as AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR and have used methods of simplification to simplify complex logic circuits. I have also used these same techniques in programming to create complex programs through the use of logic.
MATLAB

MATLAB

During my college career, I took many courses which used MATLAB to perform various tasks as an Electrical Engineer. I am able to graph functions, define variables, perform calculations, and even use scripts to build a complex program. In one course, I developed a fully-featured Blackjack game through the use of about 10 different scripts which all worked together to allow the user to play this fully featured Blackjack game.
Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows

I have been a Windows user for about 15 years and consider myself to be quite fluent with the operating system. I am familiar with the use of many applications, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Adobe Acrobat Reader, iTunes, the Microsoft Office Suite, and more. I have become very comfortable with this operating system and have become quite proficient at navigation with many different versions of Windows.
Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word

I have been used the Microsoft Word program since it was developed. I think that Word Processing is a very powerful tool, and that everybody should be familiar with how to use these types of programs. I have used Word to take notes in class, write papers, and also to create my resume and cover letter. I am familiar with all of the text editing features in this software, can insert pictures or tables into a document, adjust the margins, print multiple pages per sheet, and much more.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering, so mathematics was definitely a starting point for my education. I have also tutored many students in this subject, for the company Oxford Tutoring Center, as well as privately. I use many concepts from Precalculus in my engineering work. From identifying periods, wavelenghts, and frequencies of sine or cosine functions, to evaluating limits of functions.
Spelling

Spelling

I have been speaking and using the English language since I was born, 30 years ago. I have also completed a college level degree program which required thorough use of the English language, having to take quite a few English classes as I completed it. I take pride in the fact that I can spell words very well, and have the ability to sound out the syllables of a word that I am unfamiliar with.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have taken this course at the high school and college level, and succeeded. I now use these concepts quite a bit in my field of study, Electrical Engineering.
General Computer
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft PowerPoint
