McTutor is my way of providing personal tutoring on line to individual students at a reasonable cost, as well as providing more traditional in person tutoring in a variety of subjects. I am a professional tutor as well as a former Assistant Professor at the Northern Virginia (NOVA) Community College. My course load at NOVA included math, physics, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Over the last several years I have tutored students who range from 4th grade to college.

My reason for tutoring math is to give something back as a way of saying "Thanks" to my high school trigonometry teacher, Mr. Byers. He inspired me - without ever knowing it I'm sure - to learn, and in particular to learn math. That inspiration led to an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy where I graduated with an engineering degree in the top 2% of my class. Without Mr. Byers, I might not have even gone to college let alone complete Admiral Rickover's nuclear engineering program and ultimately become an instructor in that program. In 1995, as a Captain, I retired from the Navy and began a career in education. I am currently semi-retired and teach part time at the Community College level. I have recently relocated my base of operations to the Las Vegas area, but I am frequently in San Diego and continue to provide this service there.
