"Hey, my name is Daniel P. and I've been hired as an "explainer" for over 40 years - tutoring, teaching (elementary - college), corporate training, mentoring and managing. I love helping people out and giving them the skills and tools to succeed at whatever they want to achieve - and am excited to do the same for you!

Right now I teach AP & HS Chemistry in Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools, preparing students to succeed at one of the most challenging courses you can take in High School. I've tutored people one-on-one, in groups, taught college and high-school courses, volunteered in youth-groups, mentored robotics teams, conducted corporate training, and trained employees - you name it, I've taught it...

I've earned a PhD in Environmental Engineering from MIT, a BsC in Engineering from Swarthmore College, and am a certified lead auditor for ISO Laboratory Accreditation and Certification for Quality, Environmental and Safety Management. I've measured and analyzed Air Pollution, written Environmental Leadership Standards, helped companies protect the environment, mentor a FIRST Robotics Team (FRC 449) and have organized, judged and EmCeed at Robotics competitions.

As your tutor, I will help you organize your current knowledge and skills, help you take the next step in understanding chemistry, physics or math, and train you to manage your own learning for the future without being overwhelmed." less...
