"Superb tutor and person!"
- Joel, Streamwood, IL on 10/16/15My son was lost in AP Physics C. His teacher could care less and he was just about failing and was despairing about it. I was desperate to find him some help but couldn't find any help through school, library, colleges, etc.
So I GOOGLED, found WyzAnt, and found Harry! It's like finding the lost ark of the covenant!
Harry has completely turned my son's attitude around with his obvious knowledge, patience, attention, and persistence. Harry makes sure he understands the problems and will work through them multiple times to make sure he understands. He's been flexible with the scheduling, very easy to contact, and just wonderful with my son. My son is amazed how much easier it is to understand when Harry explains and works with him.
I blindly searched and found a pearl in Harry!

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.
ACT Math
I thoroughly enjoy tutoring ACT Math due to the diversity of subject matter. With directed practice, a student can definitely improve his/her test results in a reasonable amount of time. My methods have proven to be very successful.
Calculus
I taught freshman and sophomore calculus and differential equations at a major engineering college. It was a comprehensive two year curriculum. My approach is to try different examples to explain the material. We will go over any subject as many times as necessary for the student to understand.
Differential Equations
I taught calculus and differential equations at an engineering school for seven years. This was a two year curriculum.
Discrete Math
I have a Masters degree in applied mathematics and most coursework for a doctorate. This includes linear algebra, modern algebra, mathematical physics, topology, complex and real variable analysis and functional analysis in addition to calculus and differential equations.
Linear Algebra
I have a Masters degree in applied mathematics and most coursework for a doctorate. This includes linear algebra, modern algebra, mathematical physics, topology, complex and real variable analysis and functional analysis in addition to calculus and differential equations.
Logic
I have a Masters degree in applied mathematics and most coursework for a doctorate. This includes linear algebra, modern algebra, mathematical physics, topology, complex and real variable analysis and functional analysis in addition to calculus and differential equations.
Physics
I have had many physics courses and much related subject matter in my under-graduate engineering coursework and graduate work in applied mathematics. I bring a diverse background to the tutoring sessions.
