I have twenty eight years experience in bringing high school students a "real world" and "hands on" educational experience and motivating them to want to learn. I have taught all levels of Physics and Math in a private high school. This background is coupled with twenty years business background in electrical engineering which enables me to show students practical uses for their subject matter. I have developed a series of Powerpoints in Physics both to teach the subject initially as well as specific tutorials with links to web-based videos to further enhance the student's learning. I also have a series of demonstrations using mostly household items to help the student understand Physics concepts.

Geometry

I have extensive experience in bringing high school students a "real world" and "hands on" educational experience and motivating them to want to learn, and twenty eight years of teaching all levels of Physics and Math in a private high school. While I taught Geometry, I made sure to relate Geometric patterns to real world situations so that my students could see Geometry in action. I showed them how the marks on the sides of a pool table allow them to use Geometry in making bank shots. I showed them how many Geometric shapes are found in nature as economy of design.

Study Skills

Study Skills

I have taught all levels of high school math and Physics for 28 years. I have been the Science Department chairman for the last 14 years. I have regular study skills sessions for my students after school especially in the first month of a new school year. I stress that learning and practicing organizational skills will help them through school and in the workplace. I keep in e-mail contact with my students when they have concerns about homework problems and preparation for tests. I prepare Powerpoint tutorials for my students to help them better understand the materials recently covered in class.
