Wale Math/Science Tutoring
About
Being able to improve on concepts learnt at school, and translate them to real world applications after graduating. I have a Bachelors Degree in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Illinois, after which I was an engineer for 3 years before joining an engineering consulting firm. I've gathered a dense knowledge-base from both schooling and working in the industry.
Having the opportunity to spark someone's interest by establishing a solid foundation, making them more aware of the subject and if it's something they would want to learn more about in the future.
