About
I start with a phone call with students or parents to assess their needs and learn about the student's strengths and weaknesses to assess their needs. I work with students to find the best way they learn. I have 20+ years of teaching in college and two years of tutoring after retirement. I started by teaching my daughter who ended up with a Master's degree in pure math. I love teaching and enjoy working with students.
I also enjoy seeing the results of my work in my customers' satisfaction as well as in their grade improvement. I'm never satisfied until my students are. I'm against memorization and make sure that my students fully understand each topic.
I use a hover cam in my Zoom sessions and share my screen with the students so they can see what I do and discuss with them the details of each problem.
At the end of each session. I scan the work and either text or email it back to the student. If the student desires, I tape the session and share it with them.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start by meeting with the student and/or the family to know their exact needs, then I meet with the student to assess their exact level and learn the best way of learning. I then develop a blueprint of how to proceed and how long the project require.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelor degree in civil engineering and a Master's and a Ph.D in Industrial engineering. I have over 20 years of teaching college level courses in engineering and math at the University of Louisville as well as at RPI.
I also taught six-sigma and Lean certificate programs in several colleges.
I also worked with high-school students in summer courses in engineering and math at RPI.
