About Me

Math is my favorite subject. No matter what career field someone is going into math matters. At the minimum, it helps us learn logic and different ways of thinking. I tutor because I like to share knowledge. I want to help others understand the value in learning various topics by connecting them to their real world applications. I've tutored math in the past and worked as a teaching assistant for a Calculus class while as an undergrad. I am a computer engineer, who works and is going to school for a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering. My research is focused on helping stroke survivors and arm amputees get better physical therapy results. I have 2 B.S. degrees and an M.S.For fun I do martial arts, read, and play pub trivia and board games with friends. I am an avid stamp collector as well. I also (sort of) like to travel. Hate the travel part, but enjoy myself once I get there :). Outside of the US, I have been to Portugal, Italy, Rep. of Macedonia, Scotland, British Columbia, Canada and Ireland, so far.

Q&A with Elaine

Practice, practice, practice. You can't get better if you don't practice. I prefer to focus on a concept, explain it, and then teach it through practice problems that are done first by me, and then the student, with me working with them to connect the steps from start to finish.
