About
Mechanical engineering senior student. Great understanding of science and math up to a college level with a 3.79 GPA on my final semester in school. Research experience in Stanford University in Palo Alto, McGill University in Montreal and Johnson & Johnson in New Jersey. I can be a great help guiding any engineering related endeavor or for a variety of science and math. I may not be a certified teacher but I have won numerous research competitions due to my abilities to explain complicated subjects in a simple way.
I like to have fun while I teach so I hope you like to have fun while you learn!

I am very passionate about engineering and science. I love to learn fun facts about everything and spend thousands of hours watching YouTube documentaries. I love everything space related! Engineering is a huge part of my life and I constantly try to expand my knowledge.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I will first have a conversation with the new student/parent and establish goals and objectives, I want to make clear if I am the right tutor for the need first! I will also research the subject in detail in order to provide you with the best tutoring possible. Just call or text me to schedule!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Mechanical Engineering student with a 3.79 GPA and a minor in Biomedical Engineering. I have worked as a tutor and as a research engineer for the entirety of my undergraduate career. I have had engineering experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics, combustion of metal powders for energy storage and low-cost hydraulic leg prostheses. I do not have any teacher certifications but that just means more cash in your pocket :)
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$20/hour for the best tutoring this side of the mississipi
i can go lower if you want to learn and dont have money (:
How did you get started teaching?
I started a job in NASA on their education initiative. I was a freshmen college student teaching K-12 children engineering and science concepets. That job pushed me to keep being a tutor to my colleages in university. I have taugh several complimentary courses in my home university.
I am profficient in teaching physics, geometry, technical art, mathematics going through algebra, calculus and differential equations, and general science or a class filled with just fun facts about a certain subject.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with kids aged K-12 as well as highschool and college students. No special needs experience.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
none.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ask yourself what do you want the tutor to teach you, and how fast do you want to learn it. What are your expectations after the tutoring session?
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
We all have needs.
