About

Enthusiastic Tutor looking for students who need extra assistance.

I will do my very best to help the student achieve his or her goals.

Whether those goals are to get a passing grade or to get an A in the class or to prepare for the next class.

My teaching experience includes Adjunct Instructor in Math at a Community College. I taught remedial Math to help prepare students to take college level Math classes.

I work as a volunteer tutor in Math for the Somerset County volunteer services where I teach several students from 5th grade level Math to the high school level classes. I also tutor college level Math classes.

I have also taught several classes in computers and physics.

My education includes a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology.

In addition to the Math requirements for a Mechanical Engineer I have 15 additional credits in Mathematics.

I have also completed the class “An Introduction to the Teaching Profession.” This is needed to become a certified High School Math Teacher.

I can offer help in any Math from 5th grade through college level. I am willing to work with individual or with small groups. I will make every effort to insure that my students accomplish their goals.

I listen carefully to my students to understand their individual issues and goals.

I adjust the lessons to these goals whether these goals are to pass the next test or this class or if the student needs a strong understanding in Math to pursue more advanced classes.

I know that all people do not learn the same way. If one approach does not work with a student then

I will find other approaches until we find one that works.

I find in many cases when a student is having a problem with Math one of the issues is neatness and organization.

I have a lot of experience and I have been successful in helping students with this type of issue.

I have recently retired and this allows me an open and very adjustable schedule and I can also be flexible with my rates.

I like Math and I do enjoy getting others to understand Math.

Frequently asked questions

Enthusiastic tutor looking for students who need extra assistance.

I am willing to work with individuals or small groups.

I listen carefully to my students to understand their individual issues and goals.

I adjust the lessons to these goals. I know that all people do not learn in the same way;

If one approach does not work with a student then I will find other approaches until we find one that works for the student. I work patiently with my students.  If after I have explained a particular concept and it is still not clear I will explain it again.  If it is still not clear I will find a different way to explain it until it becomes clear. 

I stress the idea that math is not like other subjects. And that you need to understand the lessons of today or you will not be able to follow tomorrow’s lesson.  A strong foundation is essential. I will adjust the lessons to the student's long term or short term goals.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Engineering.  In addition to the required math courses for a degree in mechanical engineering I have 18 additional credits in math at both the undergraduate and graduate level. My degree in Engineering allows me to show my students some of the practical applications of Math.

I do not have a standard price.  It depends on the level of the Math and location of the student.  

I taught Remedial Math at Community Colleges to prepare students for college level math classes
