About Me

Few things in life are more rewarding than the ability to help and serve others. This is especially true in the field of learning as by learning we progress. The ability to share knowledge is a primary means by which we can help others to progress and achieve. I have been teaching and tutoring, in some form another, for many years; whether it be work with the Boy Scouts as a youth leader, tutoring academically, or teaching airline pilots as I do today I've always found it tremendously fulfilling. That is why I wish to continue this life long endeavor by tutoring through Varsity Tutors and help others to achieve, and exceed, their academic goals as well. I'm a retired USAF pilot currently employed as an instructor pilot for the Boeing Commercial Aircraft Company. I've been instructing, both military and civilian, for over 30 years and enjoy it immensely. I've had the opportunity to work with people of many cultures and travel extensively; I've been to every continent multiple times, even Antarctica. I have two masters degrees, an MA in Information Management as well as an MS in Aeronautical Science and Aviation Safety. My undergrad degree is a BA in zoology. I'm currently awaiting acceptance to Clemson for an MS in Biology Instruction and am doing a math review leading to a certificate in Math Theory from Indiana. I recently finished a certificate in Weather Forecasting from Penn State. As I'm sure you can tell, I love to learn and consider learning a life long endeavor.

Q&A with Bill

I believe in the Socratic teaching style. By questioning students I can find out their knowledge depth, weak and strong areas, and those subjects we may need to emphasize more. I also believe a very flexible teaching style is required, as all students learn at different rates and levels. Consequently, I need to be able to adapt to these levels and rates in order to have an effective session and ensure complete subject understanding.
