About Me

I'm a musician-turned-engineer with a penchant for applying math to everyday situations. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin and have worked in Austin as a civil engineer. I also hold a Master of Music from Indiana University and taught private music lessons for several years before turning to engineering. The upshot to all of this is that I have a lot of experience with one-on-one teaching and applied mathematics. If I am your tutor, you will never have to wonder why you are learning your topic! I keep things relevant to real life and draw lots of connections with other subjects and interests.

Q&A with Lynn

Context, context, context: Learning without context is almost pointless. Without context, we don't retain information, can't apply the information we do manage to retain, and forget what we learned as soon as the test is over. By learning within context we make connections with what we already know, retain information right away, and are able to turn around and apply what we learned to new situations. I always want my students to know why they are learning and how it is useful, because otherwise the lesson is pointless.
