Caledonia, WI Microsoft Excel Tutors

Description: Over the past seven years, I have tutored students (from 3rd grade through college) in the North Dallas and surrounding areas. Mathematics is my specialty with particular courses of Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and II, Trigonometry, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and Calculus. 

I also work with students as they are preparing for standardized tests (Math portions of ISEE, SAT, ACT) to help refresh concepts and practice test taking skills. 

I tend to focus on having students recognize concepts of the problems they face so that through repetition, problems solving comes more easily and they build confidence in their abilities. I also tutor some Science and Technology subjects with a particular interest in Chemistry (General, Organic, Biochemistry).

I have two Masters degrees, one in Computer Science (SMU) and one in Biomedical Engineering (UT Southwestern Medical Center). Professionally, I have been a Technical Consultant and Sales Engineer in Healthcare Information Technology for 13 years and have nearly 30 years total working experience (over 20 years in Healthcare). 

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you or your child to create positive results!!      << View Less

Description: When Stephen tutors, he utilizes Vygotsky's scaffolding method, as well as the "Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)" method, to ensure maximum effectiveness in learning. He also uses the theory of Bloom's Taxonomy to hone in on the learning style of the student in order to maximize the effects of study. Stephen continually encourages an excitement in learning, and demonstrates this excitement as he tutors.
Stephen's tutoring philosophy: "My job is not to be the expert. My job is to condition the student to be the expert."      << View Less
