STEM To Oak Tutoring
About
Get your student the tutoring they need from an actual professional in their field. I am an Electrical Engineer currently working for a major Semi-Conductor company. I got my Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering from California State University, Fresno, where I worked for the MESA School Program. MESA stands for Math. Engineering. Science. Achievement. and is a program to promote STEM (Science.Technology.Engineering.Math) development of Middle and High school students. With all of this experience, I have a great understanding and knowledge of math concepts, the practicality of these concepts, and how to help students reach their highest potential.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My typical process in working with a new student is to first assess where they are at. I do this with practical methods of just observing their thought process in doing an assignment. Math is just a set of tools, and there are many tools to that can be used to solve a problem. I allow the student to show me which tool they prefer and teach them how to use it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering from California State University, Fresno. I have five years of experience working with students for the MESA Schools Program. I have five years of experience working as an Electrical Engineer for a major Semi-Conductor company.

I charge $30 per hour session.
How did you get started teaching?
I got started with the MESA schools program, where I would help facilitate students with various projects and math exams.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with Elementary School, Middle School and High School students.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
A recent event I am fond of is playing bass for my church's worship team.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Advice I would give a student looking to hire a teach in my area of expertise is to look for someone who is not just a teach but is or at least has been a professional in the area. There is a difference in what is in text books and how things play out in real life. Real life will be confusing if you only learn from someone that only learned from a text book.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I think students should ask themselves what they really want, and if they want it enough to take the necessary steps for it. There is no destination without a journey, the best thing to learn is how to enjoy the journey.
