Tip 1:  Make sure you use the English language and the vocabulary of mathematics correctly.  Know EXACTLY what every word means and don't misuse the vocabulary.

Tip 2: After you do a problem, do it over as if you are explaining it to someone.

Expertise

I can answer questions in basic to advanced algebra (theory of equations, complex numbers), precalculus (functions, graphs, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions and identities), basic probability, and finite mathematics, including mathematical induction. I can also try (but not guarantee) to answer questions on Abstract Algebra -- groups, rings, etc. and Analysis -- sequences, limits, continuity. I won't understand specialized engineering or business jargon.

Experience

I taught at a two-year college for 25 years, including all subjects from algebra to third-semester calculus.
