$40/hr for students Tutoring Policies
$65/hr for businesses (industry, research labs, and private businesses for software engineering consulting/training/scientific programming/tutoring.)
Physics PhD + postdoc / Math BS tutor. Subjects: Matlab Programming, Matlab Homework, Matlab Assignments, Matlab Projects.
Time zone: CST/CDT
In sessions, concepts are explained clearly if there is a need. Otherwise, practice is the focus. Active learning is best in any subject. Material and concepts are presented after a relevant practical problem is chosen. Then the required knowledge and problem solving approach and methods are presented. Teaching strategy in test taking is beneficial to many students. Teaching error-free programming techniques is valuable in CS. The approach to physics and math problems should also be an error-free one. In all technical subjects, problem solving should be accomplished in small steps, checking the consequences of each before proceeding.
I want to help students learn problematic material. Beating fear of success is possible through sustained small successes. The only real teaching/tutoring goal is to teach a student everything the teacher/tutor knows so that the teacher/tutor is no longer necessary.
Sessions are online only and by appointment only. My Zoom is utilized for sessions. Lesson notes are displayed and later saved to a pdf file for students, if applicable. A tablet and stylus are used for clearer notes. Students may use the whiteboard of My Zoom or MS oneNote if available. Notes can be written with a mouse if no tablet is available. It is possible to have your homework completed outside of a tutoring session for the usual hourly rate, but it is recommended to complete the homework in a meeting.
Matlab is a mathematically oriented OO language. Many engineers use Matlab, even for research work.
Like all programming languages, learning Matlab requires a significant amount of personal practice. In tutoring, solving problems with Matlab is emphasized, and programming strategies/techniques are presented. It is hoped that enough personal practice time will benefit the learner by ending the need for rote memorization of syntax or programming techniques.
I first used Matlab in 1994 in several classes. I did translate a significant MATLAB program into python for an electrical engineering graduate student. I have also tutored the first semester in a Matlab programming course multiple times.
I am a former part-time software engineering consultant using C++ for a US industry in PA (2019). Also, in industry, I have 6 years of experience as a programmer/software engineer. I have 12 years of programming experience in my scientific research at Wash U School of Medicine in St. Louis. Through my dissertation and postdoc, I have 5 years of FORTRAN programming experience. At Wash U School of Medicine, I have 8 years of part-time UNIX system administrator experience.
