Free Responses:

When our tutors were asked the following questions, this is how they responded:

    Hobbies:
      Music, cooking, golf.

    Why do you want to be a tutor?
      I have tutored, worked as a Teaching Assistant, and taught as a professor at UT. These experiences were extremely rewarding. I would like to 'pay it forward' to help others get ahead and succeed. Last but not least I've always had a passion for learning in my life, in all sorts of subjects, and would like to share the excitement of discovery with others.

    Why should a student pick you?
      I'm very patient and really understand how to help students who are 'stuck' on difficult subjects see the light. I also like to make the information relevant, fun and valuable. I like to help students learn not just the subject matter but learning 'tricks' and techniques they can apply in all sorts of situations later in life.

    Personal Statement:
      I'm an informal guy. When I taught at UT I insisted students call me by my first name, not 'Doctor' or 'Professor'. New and difficult material is intimidating enough so I have always felt it is extremely important to be kind and down to earth with all students, regardless of their abilities and background.

    Any Last Words?
      Years ago in parochial school a student sitting behind me asked to be excused for the bathroom. When he returned his fly was still unzipped. The nun angrily exclaimed: 'Zip that up! What were you born in, a barn?' The student innocently replied 'Jesus was born in a barn'. (I ducked just in time as the eraser flew toward him).
