Steve
Math, Physics, and Computer Science: All Ages, All Abilities
I am a computer scientist, engineer, and Texas-certified teacher who is highly qualified to teach mathematics and computer programming. Many seek my help with Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Statistics, and Physics. It is a joy to teach computer science, including algorithms, data structures, information systems, web development, and discrete mathematics. As a skilled writer, I can also help with vocabulary, grammar, reading, and writing. I have been successful with gifted, struggling, and s...

Mr. O worked with my son today on concepts for his geometry class that he had been struggling with for weeks. By the end of the session, my son had a good understanding of the Laws of Sine and Cosine and other concepts which previously he had been unable to grasp. Mr. O first gave a short explanation of the concept and then watched my son work the problems. He gave guidance and direction when needed and reinforced the concept until my son had a total understanding of it and felt confident. I loved Mr. O's teaching style. He is one of the most effective tutors who has ever worked with my son.

Steve is a very methodical individual. He takes his time painting a picture, showing a great deal of patience, emphasizing the importance of understanding the concept, not simply memorizing new formulas. He also demonstrates one of the key ingredients of being a successful mathematician, understanding the question or rather proposed equation. "Is it a question pertaining to velocity or acceleration? Are they asking you to solve an equation requiring explicit or implicit differentiation?" He encourages students to dive into their textbooks so they may build a strong foundation for math, both now and in future courses. Steve is a certified teacher, in addition having a background in computer engineering. To learn from someone of his caliber is the exception to the rule, it is doubtful you will find a tutor whose talents match those that Steve has developed. To put it simply his skills as a tutor are unrivaled! Amazing man with an amazing mind! I consider myself beyond fortunate to have acquired such brilliant individual to guide me in the field of mathematics. Let me add: I drive roughly an hour for each session and I have had several, it is worth the distance! Look no further - your dream tutor is Steve O.
