About Laurence D Stone

I know what it's like to struggle with math, but I also know what it's like to succeed with math... and I know I can help you do the same. I've been teaching various maths at a tech college for over ten years, both day and online/hybrid, both applied and college level. My online students *love* how I do my video lectures, and last March (2011) I even won "math tutor of the month" for an online tutoring service (tutor.com).

Specific areas of math expertise include beginning/intermediate/college algebra, trigonometry, calculus I, and various applied maths (electricians, machine shop, medical dosages).

Other areas: I would LOVE to teach chess to beginners of any age, and recently I've been gaining some experience working with elementary students. I can also do some first- or second-year engineering courses, such as statics, thermodynamics, etc.
