About Michael


Bio

My educational background consists of a B.S. in mathematics, a M.S. in mathematics, and a M.S. in electrical engineering.

I taught college mathematics for 18 years covering all undergraduate mathematics courses for first year students through seniors. That teaching was in the classroom which afforded me the opportunity to use several types of assessments such as in-class activities, projects, writing with math, research articles, videos, interdisciplinary applications and presentations....

My educational background consists of a B.S. in mathematics, a M.S. in mathematics, and a M.S. in electrical engineering.

I taught college mathematics for 18 years covering all undergraduate mathematics courses for first year students through seniors. That teaching was in the classroom which afforded me the opportunity to use several types of assessments such as in-class activities, projects, writing with math, research articles, videos, interdisciplinary applications and presentations. During that time, I tutored my students both in person and online.
In addition to classroom teaching and individual tutoring, I coordinated a math tutoring center for undergraduate students at all levels over a year and half period. I encouraged students to take different approaches to solving problems. When apprpriate, I illustrated connections of mathematics to other disciplines. I also regularly used applications to help students visualize and understand concepts.
My experience with younger students has been more limited. However, I have worked with high school students individually and students with learning disabilities as a volunteer.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have taught algebra-based courses such as pre-calculus and calculus. I have used real-life applications across diverse fields to exercise algebraic methods. I have used algebra in my career as an engineer and a professor.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have taught many algebra-based courses such as algebra, pre-calculus, and calculus. I aim to help students with concepts to develop their algebraic skills. I use real-life applications to develop students' skills and improve their critical thinking skills. Similarly, I demonstrate intercurricula connections of math to other disciplines.
Calculus

Calculus

I have taught calculus many times and have applied it in numerous applications. I focus on concepts to help students understand the methods while improving their skills. I also demonstrate. interdisciplinary connections across disciplines.
Geometry

Geometry

I have taught geometry emphasing its numerous applications in nature, science, architecture, medicine, music and art. I aim to help students with concepts to develop their geometric skills. I help students use and understand geometric principles to solve problems. I demonstrate intercurricula connections of math to other disciplines.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have taught pre-calculus and calculus many times. I aim to help students with concepts to develop their mechanical skills. I use real-life applications to develop students' skills and improve their critical thinking. Similarly, I demonstrate intercurricula connections of math to other disciplines.
Statistics

Statistics

I have taught statistics and probability many times. I aim to help students with concepts to develop their statistical skills. I use real-life applications to develop students' skills and improve their critical thinking. Similarly, I demonstrate intercurricula connections of statistics to other disciplines.
