Education
Degree in Physics from The University of Chicago. During the years in the corporate world, I've also earned a master's degree in computer science and an MBA. I also hold a professional designation in investment analysis (CFA). For my employers, I've developed training materials and taught classes. I've also taught a college course in statistics.
Experience
I've tutored on-and-off most of my adult life. During college, I tutored high school and middle-school students. Most recently, I've tutored a group of at-risk students. I've been successful in tutoring because I find it easier to instill instinct and intuition than to teach rules and formulas. Helping with homework is a great way to find and fill the gaps in the student's thought process. Tutoring is most rewarding when I see a student grow in enthusiasm and confidence in the way they think and solve problems. It's more than school work; it's about maturity in how they approach, interact with and understand the world around them. Subject-wise, I am well versed in math, physics, computer science and economics at all levels. I am also able to help with other subjects such as English, writing and history (but not as primary subject). Student-wise, student from middle-school and up is ideal. College level is welcome on certain subjects only.
