Experience
Several past tutoring situations developed throughout the course of my career for elementary through undergraduate college students in subjects that ranged typically in the math and sciences, but also included reading, technical writing and creative writing. Also taught courses at the college and professional levels. Provided talks to professional organizations to support development of staff and students interested in science careers.
