About
I am in my last semester of earning a Mechanical Engineering degree from a top 10 university with a heavy mathematic background. I offer the ability to teach students in a way that encourages students and creates true confidence in their knowledge of the subject. I have spent many many years studying to earn my degree and I understand the struggle of not understanding the material in a class. I am here to provide friendly assistance to your questions and concerns.
I have acheived my level of knowledge and success in my career from many teachers along the way. I enjoy being able to pass my knowledge to a student in need who has the desire to learn.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I look to understand the student and the problems that they are having with their subject so I can offer the best help. Second, I help the student learn a repeatable process to be used for any future problem. Understanding the material and the process is more important than a correct answer. The best way to learn is through repeated example problems.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue Univeristy.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My pricing system will depend on the needs of the student. I will offer my first lesson free to learn more about my student and to give my student an opportunity to learn my teaching style.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching in high school when my engligh teacher asked if anyone was capable of tuturing her son in Geometry. I volunteered for the job and it was a very fulfilling experience for me to help a student and watch him have success from my teaching.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with studends of all ages and skill levels rangeing from high school and secondary school to University students.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a tutor in your area of expertise?
Find a tutor that teaches a process and a strategy that can be followed and applied to any problem. Different people learn by making different connections. Make sure your tutor understand how you learn best. Whether it is more in depth lessons of theory or more practice examples.
What questions should students think through before talking to tutors about their needs?
Students should be aware of their needs and the things that they are having trouble with understanding. This will allow the needs of the student to be communicated clearly to the tutor resulting in the tutor understanding if they are qualified for the job.
