Experience
Tutoring since 1990, all levels of math up through fourth-year college Vector Calculus, physics, chemistry, computer science, computer programming, engineering. Taught since 1990 college courses in math, computer science, and electrical and mechanical engineering technology. While completing research for my graduate work at Los Alamos National Lab, I also provided student assistance for a special summer graduate physics course ("Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics") at the University of New Mexico at Los Alamos from 1994-96. Students attended lectures in the mornings provided by scientists from Los Alamos National Lab and worked on term projects in a computer lab in the afternoons. I provided help to the students to understand the applied math, computer modeling, programming, and physics to complete their projects. I also taught a short course on parallel processing using Fortran 90 for these students. While attending the University of New Mexico, the Math Department gave out my name as the "best math tutor on their list."
