About
* Background: Chemical Engineering background with 7 years experience in teaching/tutoring science/engineering/mathemathics at University/College levels.
* Teaching Method:
- In person: I do have my own teaching materials for all levels.
- Online: I am using Teams. I will send you an invite. You don't need to have an account, just need the app installed in your phone or computer. I will be using a Surface Pro with a stylus so you will see I am solving/teaching live with video call.
* Teaching style: The key to my teaching success is patience and my goal is to inspire students to build strong foundation for sucess in those classes. I have taught successfullly students at different levels. I will also share tips/stories to help prepare students for college. For example, I took note using OneNote throughout college and I still have those notes/HW at my finger tips. Give me an opportunity to serve you. I am looking forward to working with you.
