My teaching method is a combination of hands on, lecture and discussion. I focus on problem solving skills and critical thought. I spend as much time with a topic until the student understands before moving to the next lesson. I have found patients and practice is key.
I am a Mechanical Engineer with my Master's Degree from University of Michigan. I am a certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt and have trained many black belt candidates in my career. Looking to get the Six Sigma Certificate, I can help.
I prefer to meet at the Macomb Library - North Branch. If a lesson needs to be cancelled, please advise at a minimum of 24 hours in advance for non-emergencies. For a no-show, the full hour cost will be applied.
