My goal at the end of the semester is for the student to have a basic understanding of cars and the automotive industry.
I was a past Automotive Professor at my local Community College, and a past Car Care Store Manager for a large retail auto chain center that's recognized throughout the country.  I recently relocated to Florida, and now work remotely as a Mechanical Analyst who helps service professionals and customers with vehicle repair questions.  Always had a passion to help others because learning and understanding vehicle's could be tricky, but the reward for me is instilling learning for the next generations ahead.  I will ensure  that all questions are answered that will help my students learn better understand how vehicles work, but also have fun while in class.  I have my Bachelors in Business Management and also recognized by the highest automotive achievement in the profession which is the Automotive Standards of Excellence, (ASE) as both a Service Technician and a Service Consultant. I also am recognized by my state DMV in license and theft bureau, to teach both OBD2 and Safety courses.
Homework Offered
We will have an optional worksheet, so students can fill in the blanks after classes. Also at the parent's discretion, the student could be using the car at home. Parental supervision is needed.
