I am good at explaining complex topics in simple terms.
My colleagues and teachers tell me that I am very good at explaining complex topics in simple terms: both orally and written. I greatly enjoy doing that. I have worked with computers for over fifty years, mostly programming computers to control industrial processes, voice and data communications networks, and electric power systems. As a retired electrical and computer engineer, I have continued to keep up to date by attending community college classes in Industrial Electricity and Electro... Read more

Linda
Linda.L Elementary Education
I graduated in May, 2010 with my Master of Arts degree in Elementary Education. I have three children; two teenage daughters and a twelve year old son. I had wanted to major in education for my undergrad degree, but was unfortunately talked out of it. I ended up in a field that did not suit me.

I'm Parth! I am currently a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign pursuing a Computer Science degree. For me, math classes were the absolute worst but as I kept trying to improve I eventually got better. From despising math to now wanting to share my love for math with other students is exactly what motivates me to want to teach mathematics to other kids. I like to engage the student by asking questions and making sure they have all the information to solve any kind of pro... Read more

- Clarendon Hills , Illinois ( 60514 )
- 10 miles
I'm an outgoing, volleyball-loving, Mathematics/Finance graduate from UW-Madison. I think math is great (otherwise I picked the wrong major). I think it's important to have a solid foundation in math for all walks of life, even if you know you won't be majoring in math or doing any higher-level math work. I have done a lot of probability in studying for my actuarial exams and have dealt with many problems involving things such as MGFs, expected values, variances, different distributions,... Read more

B.S. Biology Gradutate, Magna Cum Laude (GPA 3.8)

Striving for a deeper understanding
- $28 / h

- Franklin Park , Illinois ( 60131 )
- 20 miles
As an artist I've always been fascinated with trying to grasp a deeper understanding of things by finding analogues to problems and gaining insight through that. The reason is i have something called Synesthesia, or a mixing of the senses. For me it just means i can see music inside my mind very vividly. This has helped me in a variety of ways in both my visual and musical art. That's what i mean by finding analogues. I try to get a hold of one things by maybe finding a similarity in another ...
