Experience
LET ME BE YOUR ACADEMICS PERSONAL TRAINER! OVER 20 YEARS OF PRIVATE TUTORING EXPERIENCE! YOUR ONE STOP SHOP WITH EXPERIENCE IN A WIDE VARIETY OF SUBJECTS! I completed my PhD in nuclear engineering at Penn State. I have successfully instructed physics and several engineering courses at Penn State. During my undergraduate studies, I maintained Dean's List and was inducted into several honor societies, also graduating with honors. I was a peer tutor for the university and aided students in many of the mathematics, sciences, and engineering courses offered at the university. Throughout my academic studies, I have tutored students of all ages to improved grades in the following areas: Elementary Sciences and Mathematics, Physics (PHYS 211, PHYS 212, PHYS 213, PHYS 214, PHYS 250, PHYS 251), Chemistry (CHEM 110, CHEM 112), Linear Algebra (MATH 18), Algebra (MATH 21, MATH 22), Calculus (MATH 083, MATH 110, MATH 111, MATH 140, MATH 141, MATH 230, MATH 231), Trig / Precalc (MATH 26), Matrices/Linear Algebra (MATH 220), Differential Equations (MATH 250, MATH 251), Geometry, Computer Programming (C++, FORTRAN, MATLAB), Statistics (STAT 200), and Engineering (E MCH 211 - Statics, E MCH 212 - Dynamics, E MCH 210 - Statics and Strengths, E MCH 213 Strengths and Properties of Materials, M E 300 - Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, and Heat Transfer). If you don't see the specific course please contact me with your course details and I will be certain to let you know what assistance I can offer. I am always willing to alter my methods to fit the learning methods and needs of each individual student. I am also experienced in tutoring group sessions, and offer group discounted rates as the group dynamic can increase the learning curve for many students.
