Math Enrichment Programs

In 1982, I began teaching general physics to engineers who could not grasp the concepts.

● I developed the communication skills required to convey difficult material in

layman’s terms while maintaining the ability to apply concepts to solve problems.

In 1987, I began teaching general physics labs on the university level.

● I developed a means to teach concepts to a wide range of learning styles

simultaneously.

In 1998, I began teaching math at the community college level.

● I successfully made up snow days without compromising material content.

● I brought a class up to speed mid semester and successfully completed the

curriculum on time without leaving a student behind.

● I successfully taught older adult students who had a fear of math.

To date, I have engineers, nurses, technicians and others whom I have personally assisted in their educational endeavors.

"Mr Alston taught me math. I thought I could never be taught math. I had been to three different community colleges. I was 62 years old then."

Donna (CNA) class of 1988 GTCC Developmental Math.

"Mr Alston took over my class and I got to tell you; everybody was lost when he came in. But, by the end of the semester, every body knew enough math to go on to their next class. I hired him to teach me my math in other classes as well as networking. "

Doug (Network Engineer) class of 1988 GTCC Developmental Math.

"Mr Alston is the man. I come to see him 3 times a week."

Jordan ( tenth grade athlete Scholar)

"I wish Mr Alston was my Algebra Teacher in school."

Stephanie (ninth grade athlete scholar)

"Mr Alston helped me pass my test."

Dan (High Point Univesity Student)

" I will write you a letter of recomendation any time. You did an excellent job."

Melissa (owner of High Point Mathnasium)

"My whole family uses Mr Alston. He is good and affordable"

Murad (Winston Salem State University Student)

"Mr Alston has given me confidence and math skills I never thought I would have. Even after I get my GED, I will use him for all my Community College Classes!"
