ATMentors

• Free advice! Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.
• Seriously, sometimes it helps just to have someone listen, and if I can be that someone for you, I would be honored.
• If you want career advice or to talk about personal or academic problems or if you are just feeling homesick and want someone to talk to, that's what I've signed up to do by becoming an ATMentor.
• I'm a math teacher, and I want students to have success and enjoy learning math. If you are struggling with math phobia or anxiety and I can help, I would like to do that.
• College coursework is much more difficult than high school coursework. Sometimes the lesson a semester administers isn't the academic material so much as a life lesson. Whatever it is, we do our best to go on from there. You are all important. If I can help, please let me help.
• To paraphrase my hero, Carl Rogers: I want to provide a relationship which another can use for personal growth.

Articles/Slides/Good Stuff

• Success at Math
• My 15 Minute Rule
• Outline to Learn
• Working together and using outside resources
• Guidelines for working with others on collaborative and group projects.
• Information about finding a job.

Just for fun

I like to ride my bike in my spare time; I also enjoy reading, running, writing, and geocaching. For more information on bicycling in Bryan/College Station check out the Brazos Valley Cyclists and the Brazos Valley Mountain Bike Association. For writing check out Brazoswriters. For Geocaching, check out Geocaching.com.

I am on Facebook and on Twitter. If you are a student, you are welcome to follow my Twitter feed; just don't expect any exam hints. ;) I tend to tweet interesting math and bicycling links. If you are a student and want to be my FB friend, please not while you are in my class for all the obvious reasons.
