Personal Statement
Private tutoring for academic subjects, including mathematics, sciences, geography, history, and writing.
I also coach "test-prep" techniques, raising scores on standardized tests, such as Regents, AP, GRE, MCAT, etc., as well as Civil Service exams.

Tutoring Approach/Experience
APPROACH:
I focus on understanding of the concepts and developing the student's ability to solve problems -- rather than tedious drill and temporary memorization.
EXCELLENCE
1. I get results! (Demonstrated score improvement, passing courses, raising grades, etc.)
2. Knack for establishing good rapport with each student.
3. Focus on understanding concepts and developing skills and strategies to solve problems.
4. Also, my ability to make things understandable, in writing and in discussion.
EXPERIENCE:
30+ years college teaching, plus private tutoring in academic subjects and "test-prep" techniques. Also taught and/or managed many employee-training programs. Developed curricula for training programs, civil-service exam preparation courses, etc. as well as for after-school science clubs and summer camps.
My industry career was primarily in software development and management, at Brookhaven National Lab (BNL), Grumman, Robotic Vision, and other Long Island companies, and as a software consultant and website developer. I am also a professional writer, with thousands of pages published, and I currently host two weekly radio shows on a local radio station.
