I am currently working as a city engineer, but I have worked and been certified in math/science secondary education and as a math and exam prep tutor at a tutoring center. I have a master's in environmental engineering, a bachelor's in chemical engineering, and have tutored college courses privately. I have been providing tutoring services to students for about 8 years. My certification expired in July 2020 and I returned to engineering. I have experience with elementary school to college level students and most of my tutoring has been for exam preparation, such as the SAT, ASVB, and district exams. I have tutored a wide range of students, including those who are home schooled, have academic/ learning limitations, or require a personalized program. I am available most evenings and weekends provided there is sufficient notice. I love being a tutor because I have personally experienced the impact that personalized instruction has on a student. My approach to teaching is collaborative and encourages students to explore different approaches to problems. My rates are flexible and I am willing to travel to students if necessary. If you are having genuine financial issues, but require more than 4 hours a week, I am willing to work with you. My concern first and foremost is that everyone enjoys learning. Please take note of my rate and cancellation policies as well.

My current job as an engineer doing research gives me insight to proper strategies for reading and studying various subjects. Students will learn how to read quicker and identify important aspects of a text, taking notes when doing so to help them remember afterward. Some students require more visual learning than others, so I will employ different methods when teaching. I have taken classes in college about proper test-taking and studying skills.
