I can help you succeed in Math and Science, both in terms of "getting the answer" and more importantly understanding fundamentals. My approach depends on the needs of the student, but I always stress problem solving and repetition, with fundamentals and theory becoming clearer with practice and teaching. I call this method guided problem solving. I teach Math through Calculus 3, including all Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. I teach all ages. I can facilitate Differential Equations and...
I can help you succeed in Math and Science, both in terms of "getting the answer" and more importantly understanding fundamentals. My approach depends on the needs of the student, but I always stress problem solving and repetition, with fundamentals and theory becoming clearer with practice and teaching. I call this method guided problem solving. I teach Math through Calculus 3, including all Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. I teach all ages. I can facilitate Differential Equations and Linear Algebra with some prep time. I teach all High School sciences, as well as College Physics and Chemistry, though Organic Chemistry would take some prep time. No one is an encyclopedia and my breadth of knowledge is vast, so if there is a topic I need review on in order to tutor it, I will be able to review it and teach it in a matter of hours if given advance notice. I am a strong creative writer as well, and can help your creations.
I have a PhD in Chemical Engineering, I have taught Thermodynamics, Fluid Properties and Senior Design at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, I taught classes in Chemical Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines while pursuing my PhD, and I have tutored informally for years, including homeschooling my child for 2 years. I was a research Engineer for 8 years at Chevron R&D, using problem solving to save the company tens of millions of dollars in reduced upstream chemical usage. I currently consult as an Engineer in Oil and Gas, Renewables and Health Care, and my Math, Science and Engineering skills remain sharp through daily real-world use. I can help you improve performance in class, and I can help you learn how to think logically. I have been a track and field coach for years, and I am a good motivator of people. Your willingness to practice is as important as my tutoring skill, and I will make sure you put in the effort to succeed. I think learning is a joy and I bring real enthusiasm to my career as a teacher, engineer, researcher, coach, writer, editor and problem solver.
