If you are seeking help with any math (including calculus), physics, computer science, computer programming, SQL, Selenium, Java, or any science/math/tech subjects in high school/college/adult learning, I can provide one on one individual or group tutoring. My background includes 17 years of professional experiences in aerospace engineering/rocket science design, development, and operations with NASA Kennedy Space Center and European Space Agency- Germany. I possess a masters in aerospace engineering through NASA graduate fellowship/full ride scholarships.

I'm a multilingual American with a diverse educational and professional backgrounds from several countries. A family person and driven to provide help to a MOTIVATED learner. Making money is NOT the goal as I had been passionate about tutoring for over twenty-five years. Seeing 'aha' moments of happiness in students provides me real happiness beyond anything.

Volunteer tutoring experience for 25 years in algebra, geometry, algebra II, pre-calc, calculus, vector calculus, differential calculus, numerical analysis, calculus.

Passionate about programming in Fortran, Python, Java. Database experience with SQL and automation experience with Selenium/Java.

A focused and individually tailored need based strategy is most impactful in tutoring that sets me apart from any national or local institutionalized tutoring. Give it a try for a session and see how impactful tutoring can be. Only requirement I ask for is your sincere willingness and seriousness in learning.
