Home Services Resume Resources About Contact Contract	Since 2002 tutoring has been my passion and career. I am hard pressed to think of a time in my life when helping others learn has not been a part of my life. When I was in high school, I was asked to be a peer tutor in mathematics. I accepted and since then I have made time within my schedule to tutor or teach. Nothing I have done has ever compared to the thrill of seeing a person's face light up when they master a concept. I have bachelor of art degrees in biology, chemistry and computer science. I hold master of science degrees in medicinal chemistry and computer science. I have just completed the training and student teaching necessary to obtain my residency teaching certificate in Washington state with a mathematics endorsement. I have worked primarily as a software engineer. Over that time I have worked with database software, educational software, scientific programming and embedded systems. I am fluent in a number of computer languages and a large number of commercial software packages. I have, also, worked as a researcher in bio-medical laboratories. And during this time I taught college level classes on a part time basis. I am an avid game player. To date I have yet to find a game that I won't play at least once. I have a long term addiction to bridge, chess and role playing games. I've played collectible card games, including Magic and Pokemon. Beyond all this I love reading, to the point that it really doesn't matter what it is, cereal boxes, junk mail, serious texts or trashy novels. I read them all. More importantly I look for excuses to read them all. I would like to say that I have a single foolproof way of helping someone master a subject. To believe in such a method I would have to believe that all students are the same, motivated by the same things and use the same learning methods. This just isn't true. My method is to adapt to the student, try to speak to them in ways that make sense, give them the tools and information they need to succeed at the task at hand, in a way that is natural for them.	+1 425 269 7999 +1 425 739 0980
