    Teaching, and Tutoring

    The following is my current, or previous teaching experience:

    • University of Manitoba (April 2012 - Current) - Sessional Instructor (Department of Computer Science)
      • COMP1260 - Introductory Computer Usage 1 (May 2012 - August 2012)
    • Western Canada Aviation Museum (November 2011 - Current) - Museum Interpreter
      • Conducts tours, and educational programs under the Take Flight Program.
      • Hosts birthday parties, which entails the tour, activities, and facilitating the event.
    • Mad Science (September 2011 - April 2012) - Science Instructor
      • Lunch Hour, and After-school science programs.
      • Maximum of 20 students ranging from grades one to six.
      • Programs range from 6 to 8 week programs.
      • One hour classes that meet weekly.

    I tutor through my personal services, but also I have in the past with Tutoring Works .  In the past and currently I offer services by the following methods:

    • One-on-One tutoring.
    • Group tutoring.
    • Remote, or Online Tutoring (via live digital stream).

    My services are offered to students in the home, or on campus, at my home (locally, or remotely).  I have experience tutoring all kinds of students, and have a passion for explaining the 'why' questions which are important, that barely get touched at certain levels in the formal sciences.  I provide deep, but simple explanations but can readily provide more formal explanations as necessary.  I have over four years of tutoring experience in the following scientific fields:

    • Computer Science
    • Mathematics
    • Physics
    • Statistics

    I have tutored the following courses in the past:

    Secondary School Level:

    • Grade 10 Pre-Calculus
    • Grade 11 Pre-Calculus
    • Grade 11 Physics
    • Grade 12 Pre-Calculus
    • Grade 12 Physics
    • Introduction to Calculus/Advanced Math

     Post Secondary School Level:

    I have tutored for students for the following courses at this level:

    Red River College

    • MATH1007 - Calculus

    University of Manitoba

    • COMP1010 - Introduction to Computer Science 1
    • COMP1020 - Introduction to Computer Science 2
    • COMP2130 - Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science
    • COMP2140 - Data Structures and Algorithms
    • COMP2080 - Analysis of Algorithms
    • COMP3170 - Analysis of Algorithms and Data Structures
    • MATH1500  - Introduction to Calculus
    • MATH1700  - Calculus 2
    • STAT1000   - Basic Statistical Analysis 1

    If you are interested in services from me, please contact me by my e-mail, or my phone number.  I am not just limited to the topics above.

      I am able to cover many subjects ranging from software applications, to programming, to other mathematical discourses.  In terms of my main interests, I do not go past entry university physics, and I much prefer discrete mathematics (so if you are needing assistance in a discrete mathematics course (any) I can do those, based on the topics).  I am always interested in learning more concepts, or to share my knowledge on a subject.  If you have any questions, let me know!
