Experienced Educator, making Math and Chemistry easy to understand

I'm Asher, a dad of two kids, math and chemistry educator, and senior food scientist.

I bring focus, energy and care to each session, always finding the unlocked potential in my students. I help turn math and chemistry problems into fun, solvable puzzles.

I'm invested in my students' success: academic performance, self-confidence and perspective on learning. I adapt my tutoring style to suit each course, helping see the broader picture with practical examples, relatable conversation and crisp drawings.

Credentials:
* 20 years teaching and tutoring (public and private middle, high school and college)
* 20 years food science research and development experience (math and chemistry in action)
* TX math education certification grades 8-12 (Scored top 2% for Certification and Praxis tests)
* Bachelor of Science: Chemical Engineering (2002), Bachelor of Music Composition (1997) - University of WI - Madison

My schedule is flexible around current weekly students.

What to Bring:
*Current Assignments: to have a direct impact on immediate areas of concern.
*Reference Materials: Whether virtual or tangible, I help students identify and utilize the right reference materials
*Notebook & Writing Utensil: Writing solidifies a concept, by processing, understanding and documenting.
*Calculator: an iphone is OK, but a graphing calculator is best. I encourage liberal calculator use, sometimes Excel
[Graph paper or graphing notebook: advanced topics, as needed.]
