Business Consultant (MS Excel/Google Sheets Applications) & Algebra/Geometry/Trig Tutor

• Apr 2019 - Oct 2021

I love helping students grasp complex concepts and seeing them succeed. I've served in a contract capacity as an Algebra, Trigonometry, and Geometry instructor for a mid-size educational co-op in the northwest suburbs of Chicago for 2 semesters before recently relocating to northeastern Alabama where I continue share my love for learning math and spreadsheets. I hold a BS in Chemistry, and I've been helping others succeed in topics ranging from algebra to Google Sheets and from Visual Basic to CSS ever since college. My students tell me that I have a gift for breaking down abstract or unclear concepts into easily understood bits of information which they can better understand. In addition to my education requiring a significant number of credits in the use of equations, critical thinking, and analysis, I have professionally worked for a decade in the nuclear energy industry where upper level math was a requirement every day. Let's work together! I want to share in the joy of your success.
