I have been mentoring young engineers (in math and engineering) during my 34 years at Detroit Edison's Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant. For the last 7 years, I have been tutoring math for high school, college, and adult students. My extreme patience and understanding provides a comfortable learning environment for all individuals I work with. I have a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering so I am comfortable tutoring most any type of math, from basic to and including calculus 1.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Algebra is the foundation for advanced Mathematics. It is a very important subject, especially to those considering a career in engineering or physics. I have many years of experience tutoring math and engineering to high school, college and adult students. If you will allow me to work with you, I am confident I can improve your knowledge of Algebra by sharing my experience, knowledge, and genuine passion for math.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Algebra is the foundation for advanced mathematics. It is a very important subject, especially to those considering a career in engineering or physics. I have many years of experience tutoring math and engineering to high school, college, and adult students. If you will allow me to work with you, I am confident I can improve your knowledge of Algebra by sharing my experience, knowledge, and genuine passion for math.
Calculus

Calculus

I am confident tutoring calculus to any student who shows interest in this subject. During my 34 year career at Detroit Edison, I used my knowledge of calculus to perform thermal-hydraulic calculations in order to demonstrate the safe operation of the Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant. This working experience allowed me to bridge the gap between theory and application of mathematics (specifically calculus and differential equations). Therefore, I bring the added benefit of understanding how calculus is actually used to solve real world problems. I've spent many years sharing this experience with a variety of engineers in the nuclear industry. I have also tutored calculus to a number of high school and college students. If you need help understanding calculus, please consider me as a possible tutor. I’m sure you would have a positive learning experience and develop an appreciation for this powerful and beautiful subject.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

I am a recently retired engineer with over 34 years of experience applying math to solve thermal-hydraulic problems at the Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant. I have been mentoring young engineers (in math and engineering) during a large portion of my career at Detroit Edison and I look forward to the opportunity of sharing my knowledge and experience to educate and motivate students interested in math, science, or engineering.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I am confident tutoring precalculus to any student who shows interest in this subject. I've spent many years sharing this experience with a variety of engineers in the nuclear industry. I have also tutored precalculus to a number of high school and college students. If you need help understanding precalculus, please consider me as a possible tutor. I’m sure you would have a positive learning experience and develop an appreciation for precalculus.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I am confident tutoring trigonometry to any student who shows interest in this subject. During my 34 year career at Detroit Edison, I used my knowledge of mathematics including trigonometry to perform thermal-hydraulic calculations in order to demonstrate the safe operation of the Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant. This working experience allowed me to bridge the gap between theory and application of mathematics. Therefore, I bring the added benefit of understanding how math is actually used to solve real world problems. I've spent many years sharing this experience with a variety of engineers in the nuclear industry. I have also tutored all levels of mathematics including trigonometry to a number of high school and college students. If you need help understanding trigonometry, please consider me as a possible tutor. I’m sure you would have a positive learning experience and develop an appreciation for trigonometry.
