I am a Cornell engineering graduate, and I live in Galveston. If you need extra help in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, chemistry or physics, I can help. Your test scores will surely improve. Education is my second career as a way of "giving back." Therefore, my rates are very reasonable ($20/hour, $15/hour if you are a regular client.)
Also, you only pay if you are satisfied that I successfully explained the concepts that you requested help in. My strength in teaching is in how I make complicated things easy to understand.
Below is a bit about my credentials:
In the early 1980's, there was an engineering slump, and I decided to enter the teaching profession for a short time by working for Houston Community College. However, they gave me a challenge which I could not resist. They needed someone to start a new technical math and physics program, teaching with real world applications for students earning technical degrees. I developed a new math and physics program containing nine different courses.
My duties included managing the program, establishing course contents, choosing textbooks, hiring and supervising instructors, and publicizing the new program. I also created entrance exams designed for student assessment for correct placement into the math classes. It was there that I realized teaching came naturally for me, and it was my true calling.
Later, after raising a family, I wanted to reach younger minds. That is when I discovered I was required to get a Texas State teaching license to teach at the public schools. In 2008, I received my certification in mathematics, grades 8 to 12 and then taught at La Marque High School for 3 years. This past year, 3 days a week, I was a pull-out math teacher at a middle school. I took small groups of struggling students and tried to fill their gaps in learning, with the goal of successfully passing their standardized tests. The other two days, I did the same at a charter high school.
Over the past 3 years, I have also tutored students one-on-one, in the following subjects:
- Algebra I
- Algebra II
- Geometry
- Statistics
- Pre-Calculus
- Physics
- Chemistry
My strength lies in making complex concepts seem simple. Also, I truly enjoy seeing a student's face light up when he/she finally "gets it."
