I enjoyed working with him very much. He's very kind and patient. When asking questions he'll go in depth to help one better understand the topic as well as why you're learning how to do the problems and where the formulas come from.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I can be flexible on my price depending on circumstances. I charge a flat rate with no additional fees.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to sit down and talk with new customers for a while to get acquainted and put them at ease. I don't want customers to feel any pressure from me to perform and I don't want them to be afraid to ask questions, no matter how stupid they may think their questions are. I don't want customers to feel I am judging them, because I'm not. I try to make the sessions a pleasant experience. In short, I am assessing whether or not it looks like we will communicate well.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Kalamazoo College with a BA in Chemistry in 1972. I did 4 years of military service in the USAF and then went back to school, receiving an MS in Chemistry from Central Michigan University in 1978 and a PhD in Chemistry from Michigan State University in 1984. I have been doing operations analysis work, mostly for the US Navy, for the past 34 years. During that time I have tutored students at many levels (grade school through high school) in both DC and Alexandria, VA. I concentrate on mathematics and science tutoring which is where my training lies.
