ChemEng MechEng AeroEng Tutoring

I hold a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology, specializing in thermal engineering. I'm fortunate to have more than a decade of tutoring under my belt and have experience working with session sizes ranging from one-on-one sessions, to sessions in university lecture halls consisting of over 150 students. My students for the most part consider me as someone who is pretty competent in dispelling the ambiguity from complicated physical and mathematical concepts. As of now I am in my last year of my PhD program in aerospace engineering at Penn State University where I work as a teaching assistant for aerospace engineering aerodynamics. My job requires routine meetings with students and lecturing both in-person and online through various platforms such as Zoom. Given that my background is mostly rooted in thermal and fluid sciences, I prefer to tutor similar courses such as thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. However, my favorite subjects to tutor are upper level calculus courses such as multivariable calculus and differential equations. On the side, I'm continually trying to strengthen myself in other related engineering subjects such as statics and mechanics in the hopes to be more confident in accepting such opportunities as well.

Teaching math is sort of a personal joy for me – one that I try not to get carried away with. Over the last decade I have been tutoring calculus AB, BC, up to multivariable calculus and differential equations up to partial differential equations. I’m always trying to continue to deepen my understanding of more advanced concepts in calculus, mostly just by reading books and following some useful YouTube channels such as blackpenredpen and 3blue1brown. The neatest part of teaching math is that I feel it helps me become a better physics tutor, since many of the mathematical formulations in fluids and thermodynamics are calculus based.
