Creative Tutoring - Math, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science
About
I am a semi-retired civil and mechanical engineer currently teaching Math, Statistics, Physics, Software Development, and Deep Neural Networks for the love of it. I worked 25 years developing technology software, so I am pretty good with applied math too.
I believe in setting high expectations and hard work. I teach for mastery. We go over concepts until we get them right. And we will use a data driven approach to track progress
My goal is to make you succeed!
When I see the proverbial "light bulb" go off for my students, it really makes my day. Success breeds self confidence and enthusiasm. Seeing that enthusiasm on my students faces is what I enjoy most.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We start off evaluating the students level of understanding, plug gaps and then build on a solid math foundation
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelors and Masters in Engineering with 25+ yrs experience in technical computing
How did you get started teaching?
I got my first taste of teaching 4 years ago when I signed up as a coach for my son's MathCounts competition team. I was hooked!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students from middle-school all the way up through college
Describe a recent event you are fond of.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a teacher who encourages critical thinking. Not just one who provides answers, but someone who teaches you to ask the right questions
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Do I know exactly where I need help? Do I know how much time I will devote to the study? Am I committed to doing whatever it takes to succeed in this subject? Do I know exactly what time constraints and location constraints I have, so I can plan my study schedule?
