Bio

I first began tutoring in high school for a program at my church. I enjoyed helping others solve problems and develop techniques to remember concepts or turn hard problems into easy problems. I believe that repetition and learning concepts is the key to learning any subject. That is my teaching strategy. I help my student understand why each step is needed.

I first began tutoring in high school for a program at my church. I enjoyed helping others solve problems and develop techniques to remember concepts or turn hard problems into easy problems. I believe that repetition and learning concepts is the key to learning any subject. That is my teaching strategy. I help my student understand why each step is needed. I love math and I have used it substantially in my undergraduate studies for my Electrical Engineering degree. I have led many study sessions in college. As an Officer in the Navy I was responsible for the training of my subordinates.

I aspire to one day become a certified teacher or a college professor. I am going to school online for a Masters Degree in Education. I personally enjoy teaching and passing on the knowledge that I have obtained. Although math is my specialty I am available for a variety of subjects. I look forward to working with all who seek knowledge.

Knowledgeable and patient

There were some technical difficulties that were resolved. He was consistent with needing to know the fundamental foundation of geometry which we were lacking. These fundamental principles make understanding so much easier.

Super Knowledgeable and Super Patient

Major clarified the subject for me. He taught me, "easy to remember" shortcuts. Explaining why certain methods were used and the correct way to use them. Very very patient and super knowledgeable. He wants to make sure you understand the subject. I'm very hopeful of me passing my chemistry class. I will definitely call on him in the near future!

Patient and Smart

Major is excellent. I like going to sessions with him and he shows me shortcuts to answering my questions in preparation for my SAT exam. He is easy to understand and very knowledgeable. I did not know how many areas I needed help in until I started doing assessments with him. I am excited about working with him each week when school reopens. Major is helping me with SAT prep and geometry in particular. He makes these topics very easy to understand.
