Educational background includes a B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in computer science. I have experience in a number of activities, including public speaking on topics such as preparing for college/graduate school, the importance of science and mathematics, how to increase student participation in these areas and tutoring on subjects including math, public speaking, and reading. I also provide computer science tutoring on topics including the Microsoft Office suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Access), programming, using the internet, and a others of varying difficulty. My clients have included children as well as adults. My teaching philosophy is that no two students are alike. As a result, no two sessions should be identical. Every student has the capacity to learn, regardless of age and background. It Is important to understand how a student learns, what challenges are faced, and using this information to appropriately design a personalized curriculum.
