About
I've been hooked on math and science since a child, and always seek the opportunity to spread that interest, as well as technique.
My experience includes over 2 decades of tutoring, as well as teaching at the high school and college level. I was a professor for a number of years at a prominent Miami college. Periodically, I've served as an accuracy checker for a major publisher of textbooks, reviewing study guides and test banks. I've helped students in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Physics and Chemistry, as well as preparation for standardized tests such as SAT, PSAT, and GRE.
My educational background includes a Masters degree from one of the world's top institutions of higher learning, California Institute of Technology (CalTech) in Pasadena, CA. I was a National Merit Scholar and graduated Magna Cum Laude.
I get a special sense of accomplishment when a student who was previously perplexed or lacking in knowledge shows new understanding of concepts and is able to apply them to solve problems. Tutoring allows focusing on working with students who are more motivated than most of those who attend classrooms. It's also much more flexible, allowing the student and me to schedule lessons at mutually acceptable times and durations, which would be impossible to do at fixed class times.
