...It's one of my favorite aspects of a Pre-calc/Trig course. SAT math includes a lot of Algebra 2 and Geometry, which are the two subjects that I teach. Many students need practice with the types of questions the SAT's ask along with techniques to solve the problems given on the SAT's. (read more)
...Eventually forced to select a major, James graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry and a minor in Control and Dynamical Systems. James earned his Ph.D. at The University of Texas at Austin in the CSEM (Computational Science, Engineering and Mathematics) program. Most of his work there was supported by a prestigious CSGF (Computational Science Graduate Fellowship) from the U.S. (read more)
...I have a BS in Electrical Engineering where Calculus was used regularly. I then have a MAT Physics. The physics courses used calculus all the time. (read more)
...I enjoy the subject because it draws many mathematical concepts together. I also recognize that the subject challenges students as it transitions them to a new tier of mathematical thinking. My tutoring style helps students recognize the connections between what they know and what they're learning, which in turn builds self-confidence so that they can learn more. (read more)
