Experience
I have been tutoring since 2007. I only tutor subjects I have trained myself on or have passed with a B or better. I have built a repertoire of teaching techniques, including: * answering "Why do I have to learn this stuff, anyway? What good is it going to do me?" * reviewing the core principles using real-world situations. Real world graphs have meaning; so should training graphs. * encouraging a learning-by-doing process. I won't know you've learned until you've shown me you can do the process. Why should you choose me? I tutor because I love to see people learn, and my enthusiasm for helping people click with the material is contagious. Are your math skills suffering? I can be there from algebra to college-level calculus. Need to understand science? I will be there for physics and chemistry. Do you need to learn computer skills such as MS Office or introductory web development? I can do a lot to help you there, too. Do you need help with test preperation? I've been training people for the SAT (Math: 720, Reading: 680, Writing: 700), SAT II subjects and the ACT for years. Talk to Toby Rose College Prep (a former employer) about what I'm capable of; you can find them on the Internet. I also have personal experience with the (old) ASVAB and can help you there. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hobbies
Denver has afforded me the privilege of being able to bicycle so much, I haven't needed a car since I moved to Colorado. This will affect my transit time and radius of travel. I've written music for fun in genres from ambient to 8-bit video games to hard rock/metal. Occasionally, you'll see me performing at a karaoke bar. I'm an open source software enthusiast. While I don't begrudge Apple and Microsoft their success, I'd prefer to work with software I can read if I ever took the time to learn the language. I'm conversant in HTML/CSS, and picking up Javascript/mySQL slowly but surely.
