Kenneth: Wheeling tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a retired high school Math Teacher and Principal with over 35 years experience working with students. I hold a Bachelors of Science in Mathematics from the University of Mary Washington and a Masters of Science in Computer Science from Hood College. I also hold certifications for Math 8-12, Computer Science, and Secondary Administration I and II.

I have been tutoring all manner of math, computer science, and test prep related courses online since 2015. For the past 4 years my focus has been almost exclusively on tutoring calculus (AP Calc AB, AP Calc BC , College Calc 1, College Calc 2). These are my favorite courses to tutor as I taught the AP program for nearly 20 years before becoming a high school administrator.

My methodology is teaching students to think and to diagnose problems, thus helping them to develop strong habits of mind and self-confidence in problem solving. I ask as many, if not more, questions than I answer. I can quickly determine a student's weaknesses and prescribe a learning plan to address them. My goal is to make my presence redundant as the student builds a tool box of mathematical reasoning and processing skills that will allow them an increased sense of independence.

Outside of teaching, my interests are centered on the Philadelphia sports teams (Fly Eagles Fly!!), Ford Mustangs and video games (Madden, Golf, third person adventures).
