BIO SHORT SUMMARY (AND APPROACH TO TEACHING)
My name is Ernest, and I am a "retired" Military Veteran and former Navy Officer; and a former Engineering Director of an Aerospace company. I hold Bachelor and Master of Science Degrees in Electrical Engineering (BSEE, MSEE), and an MBA degree.
I have 8+ years of teaching and tutoring experience, (4+ years remote teaching/tutoring) at K-12 levels. My current focus is on Middle School (Math and Science) and High School (Math). I am currently teaching and tutoring for a non-profit organization that focuses on helping inner-city underprivileged high school students with their Math courses.
*** Below is my list of "Ready-Now" courses that I can support (Monday - Friday 7:30 AM - 6 PM) (Pacific Time)...My list of courses I can teach and/or tutor are:
1. Middle School Math (All grades, all math subjects)
2. Middle School General Science
3. Middle School Pre-Algebra
4. High School (HS) Pre-Algebra
5. HS Algebra 1 & 2
6. HS Geometry
7. HS Statistics
8. HS Business Math Course (This course combines Math/Algebra with Business Topics and Economics)
9. HS Introduction to the STEM Profession and Engineering Principles (Classes or Seminars)
*** I am very effective at helping and teaching young kids "How to enjoy Math," and "Not to be afraid of Math." My approach to tutoring is to ensure I understand "What the student needs," and "What the parents want and need," -- in order for me to help the student improve their Math grades in school.
I tailor all my lessons for each student, such as 1-1 sessions or small student-group sessions. For some students, I accelerate the lessons planned, and keep the student challenged. For others, I slow down, take very small incremental steps, and show an extra dose of patience.
