...I am also a proficient Java programmer myself and can help anyone in a first or second year course. I have tutored Mathematics since I graduated from high school and have continued to expand my mathematics knowledge. As a computer programmer on the side, discrete math comes up often in both my teaching and my hobbies. (read more)
...I have working experience teaching and tutoring math for over 11 years. I have taught and tutored Algebra 2 for a few years. Have taught and tutored calculus at a high school and college level. (read more)
...Algebra 2 is a very important class, as it provides the foundation for much of calculus. I've taught calculus for over 20 years, including introductory level classes, advanced placement AB- and BC-level classes, and multivariate and vector calculus classes. Calculus is amazing and I work with m... (read more)
