On my bookshelf are copies of /Euler's Gem/, /Conned Again,...

While I continue today with my research work on probability models and my full-time college teaching, I enjoy guiding high school or older students, and middle school students beyond their grade level, through most mathematical subjects, statistics, management, and test prep.

In addition, I have experience tutoring fellow classmates in courses such as physics, probability/statistics, and linear algebra; however, my favorite subject to teach is calculus and I've found it to be the most challenging to learn.

Outside of the classroom you can find me playing or watching sports, meeting with friends, and listening to music.
