"Super helpful!"
- Brenda, Berkeley, CA on 5/9/17Stephen was super concise and clear, made understanding the concepts easy to understand and explained them in ways I COULD understand. I have a final tomorrow which I needed to review for and he was super patient in reviewing all of the sample problems with me. Feeling MUCH more confident for my Calc final than I was before! Thank you Stephen!
Thanks Brenda for your kind words. I'm pleased that you are feeling more confidant and wish that you do very well in your Calculus but in your career! Remember, send me questions anytime and I will return the answer for no charge!

Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Algebra 1
I can be of help in this subject area creating example problems and showing methods to build understanding.
Subjects areas include solving polynomials for the roots; equations for lines, parabolas, hyperbolas, circles, etc. Help with understanding graphs and word problems.
Algebra 2
I can be of great help in this subject area creating example problems, showing methods to help understanding.
Subjects areas include solving polynomials for the roots; equations for lines, parabolas, hyperbolas, circles, etc.
Calculus
Pre-Calculus, Calculus I, II, III are subject areas that I can help with. The understanding of Limits leading up to the definition of the derivative are critical to understand the basics of the Calculus. Later using derivatives to solve word problems including rates and some analytical geometry. Integral Calculus comes later using that to calculate areas and solve problems involving Newtonian physics. Calculus III involves multiple integrals and three dimensional vector calculus for those students pursuing Science and Engineering degrees.
Differential Equations
I studied Differential equations as both Math courses as well as analysis courses in Electrical Engineering. I am most familiar with LaPlace transform method of solving linear equations. There are a lot of "tricks" involved that mathematicians have devised over the years and it takes practice to use them. I can help you solve problems creating examples for later reference.
Electrical Engineering
I hold a BSEE degree from University of Missouri and am a registered professional engineer in Missouri. I have worked as an Engineer and Engineering Manager and later as manufacturing and program manager roles for medical device companies. I can help you with active and passive circuit analysis problems using Node voltage & Mesh current methods as well as Ohm's and Kirchhoff's laws.
GRE
I am not an expert at the GRE exam. However I am skilled with mathematical subjects and writing and analysis. If you are searching for a collaborator in preparation for the GRE, I would be a good choice.
Physics
Physics is really a broad subject covering the laws of motion through the basic nature of matter. I am experienced and knowledgeable in:
Newtonian physics, the laws of motion defined originally by Isaac Newton including the 1st, 2nd and 3rd laws covering Ballistics, Statics, Dynamics, Impulse & Momentum and, Fluid mechanics.
Forces due to electric and magnetic fields including the work of Coulomb, Maxwell, Faraday and others. I am very familiar with electric circuits and the quantitative analysis associated with them.
Trigonometry
I have knowledge of the following trigonometric functions: Sine, Cosine, Tangent, Cotangent, Secant, Cosecant. I also excel at geometric problem solving.
