Chris: Western Springs tutor
Certified Tutor
Hello!
My name is Chris and I am an experienced math and science tutor of all levels from graduate engineering to elementary school (ages 10-80). Not only do I enjoy teaching but I have a gift in relaying abstract concepts to people of all ages and backgrounds. My skills encompass (in no particular order and levels ranging from elementary school to graduate) biology, chemistry, physics, statistics, algebra, trigonometry, geometry, business math, and calculus I, II, and III.
I have provided 5 years of private tutoring undergraduate/graduate students, a year of tutoring students in a Dallas County Community College math center for 27 hrs/wk, and 2.5 years of teaching engineering concepts to elementary and middle school kids.
As a tutor, my methods work for all ages and backgrounds. I first explain concepts in a broad scope, briefly connecting them to what was talked about previously and to what will be discussed in future sections. Next, I dive into practice problems and discussions to identify strengths/weaknesses. Overall, I adjust to my student(s) needs, looking for better ways to shed light on concepts. My tutoring approach allows us to spend time wisely on the appropriate sections.
I am flexible to meet online or in person! Much of my private tutoring is accomplished across Texas via Skype or Google Hangouts.
I am highly experienced in math and science as both a student and a teacher. Please do not hesitate to contact me about an in-person or online tutor soon!
Thank you and sincerely,
Chris R.
