$40/hr for students Tutoring Policies
$65/hr for businesses (industry, research labs, and private businesses for software engineering consulting/training/scientific programming/tutoring.)
Physics PhD + postdoc / Math BS tutor. Subjects: Matlab Programming, Matlab Homework, Matlab Assignments, Matlab Projects.
Time zone: CST/CDT
In sessions, concepts are explained clearly if there is a need. Otherwise, practice is the focus. Active learning is best in any subject. Material and concepts are presented after a relevant practical problem is chosen. Then the required knowledge and problem solving approach and methods are presented. Teaching strategy in test taking is beneficial to many students. Teaching error-free programming techniques is valuable in CS. The approach to physics and math problems should also be an error-free one. In all technical subjects, problem solving should be accomplished in small steps, checking the consequences of each before proceeding.
I want to help students learn problematic material. Beating fear of success is possible through sustained small successes. The only real teaching/tutoring goal is to teach a student everything the teacher/tutor knows so that the teacher/tutor is no longer necessary.
Sessions are online only and by appointment only. My Zoom is utilized for sessions. Lesson notes are displayed and later saved to a pdf file for students, if applicable. A tablet and stylus are used for clearer notes. Students may use the whiteboard of My Zoom or MS oneNote if available. Notes can be written with a mouse if no tablet is available. It is possible to have your homework completed outside of a tutoring session for the usual hourly rate, but it is recommended to complete the homework in a meeting.
Your homework will be completed by JC-PD LLC.
You would be first required to supply the email address of the individual who will pay for the homework help.
A completion date and time must be agreed upon. Last-minute homework help is unlikely since JC-PD LLC is not an on-demand service. All services at JC-PD LLC are scheduled appointments. Almost always, a minimum of 24 hours before the completion date/time is required for acceptance of homework. The rate is $40 per hour.
Next, you would be required to supply all relevant files required to complete the homework - instructor supplied code and instructions. Input files are also required.
The actual charge for homework completion is calculated by the time required to complete the homework. Generally estimates prior to homework completion are not provided.
Your homework will be completed efficiently and correctly. Code will be tested before you receive it. You should test your code also after receiving it.
It is very rare that a homework assignment will not be completely correct when returned to you. Generally, if there are potential problems with the homework, you would be informed of that before the assignment is attempted. You would have the option of not using JC-PD LLC, of course, in such cases.
Generally, students are happy with the homework completed by JC-PD LLC. I understand assignments created by CS instructors. I know enough to have no problems understanding assignment instructions. Some instructors do not give well-prepared instructions, unfortunately.
In some cases where the assignment is very short, it is possible to give a reasonable estimate of the time required to complete the assignment. If the assignment requires only 30 minutes, you would be charged $20.
Payment is required within 24 hours of completion of the assignment. An invoice will be sent when the homework is complete.
Matlab is a mathematically oriented OO language. Many engineers use Matlab, even for research work.
Like all programming languages, learning Matlab requires a significant amount of personal practice. In tutoring, solving problems with Matlab is emphasized, and programming strategies/techniques are presented. It is hoped that enough personal practice time will benefit the learner by ending the need for rote memorization of syntax or programming techniques.
I first used Matlab in 1994 in several classes. I did translate a significant MATLAB program into python for an electrical engineering graduate student. I have also tutored the first semester in a Matlab programming course multiple times.
I am a former part-time software engineering consultant using C++ for a US industry in PA (2019). Also, in industry, I have 6 years of experience as a programmer/software engineer. I have 12 years of programming experience in my scientific research at Wash U School of Medicine in St. Louis. Through my dissertation and postdoc, I have 5 years of FORTRAN programming experience. At Wash U School of Medicine, I have 8 years of part-time UNIX system administrator experience.
