Fun Facts

Everyone who knows me knows that I am a fan, even though I don’t engage in cosplay. My particular flavor of fandom is gaming, namely board games and wargames. This goes hand in glove with my interests as an amateur historian. I am also a driving enthusiast whether auto-crossing or at the race track. I love a car with good handling and braking that can get out of its own way.

About Me

I am employed by Ingalls Shipbuilding Avondale Operations in New Orleans as an electrical engineer. I have provided engineering support and products to our customers for about 10 years. I am also currently in graduate school at the University of New Orleans pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science concentrating in Information Assurance. My ultimate goal is a doctorate to synthesize my knowledge of the maritime industry and information assurance to secure maritime assets and resources.

Experience

As an undergraduate, I was a participant in Tau Beta Pi, an honor society for engineering, and Eta Kappa Nu, an honor society specific to electrical engineering. One obligation of membership is to volunteer to mentor underclassmen, and this introduced me to tutoring my fellow students as more than a casual endeavor. Starting with classmates in engineering, I was able to expand my tutoring to students in non-engineering majors and finally to high school students.

Approach

My aunt has a background in educating students in music and with special needs. She encouraged me to expand my tutoring to high school students who would benefit from a tutor with a strong STEM background. Her college specialty was in Special Education, so she would first “learn how the students learn”. I approach tutoring from this starting point. Therefore, my first goal is to best determine the individual student’s way of learning to teach in the most efficient way possible.

Calculus I Tutoring

My formal Calculus education consisted of a three-course core sequence of calculus with analytic geometry, a course in calculus of several variables and a course in elementary differential equations with an overall GPA in all courses of 3.2. This is the very first science-level mathematics course I was taught in calculus and analytic geometry, and it is a prerequisite for all further education in mathematics, mathematical sciences and engineering. While I was a student, I tutored many students both professionally and informally as part of an Honor Society obligation. Subsequently, I have tutored both college and high school students on a professional basis, and I have the most experience in tutoring this subject. The study and mastery of Calculus in general is necessary for the understanding of basic scientific principles, fundamental engineering concepts and more advanced mathematics and thus forms the core basis of both of my Electrical Engineering degrees as well as my Mathematics degree. Along with the subsequent two courses in the sequence, mastery of this preliminary course is critical for any success for a STEM degree.
