My name is Doug and I am a mechanical engineer and small business owner living in Venice, FL. I have many years of tutoring high school and college students as well as adults studying to earn their GED. My favorite subjects in school were math and physics and these are my favorite subjects to tutor. As a small business owner, I have flexible hours to meet with my clients around their schedule and look forward to the opportunity to help more students achieve their goals and gain a higher knowledge both for the test and their academic career beyond. I believe in building a solid foundation and understanding of the subject material to not only suceed and score well on the test but to be able to use this knowledge years after to continue pursuing higher educational goals. I was the captain of my college's wrestling team as well as an all American athlete. I am currently a purple belt in brazilian juijitsu and successful small business owner after working as a professional engineer in the oil and gas industry as well as construction management for many years. Success in academics is important and leads to better success in all aspects of life! I am here to help students in the Venice, FL area learn and succeed and also find that difficult subjects do not have to be difficult to understand with a little work and sometimes they can end up being what students enjoy the most once they have overcome any obstacles to approaching complex math and physics problems. Everything can be broken down into a simple problem set that can be solved!
