...courses in signals and systems, electromagnetics and satellite & RADAR communications. I have enjoyed learning this knowledge and being a STEM student.

It is the obligation of the tutor to shape their method of teaching around the student's unique set of strengths and weaknesses. By discovering where a student has a gap of understanding in a subject and helping the student to bridge that gap, a foundation can be created in order to progress to the next level of a subject. Outside of school I...

I have always enjoyed this aspect of my duties, and I now have the opportunity to teach on a more formal basis. I...

Do not try to give 110% everyday, you'll only end up burning yourself out.

I believe that each of us has the ability to exceed all our own expectations. That is why I tailor my teachings to the student's...
