About
Hi, I'm Tony G., and I am a Research Assistant at the University of Wisconsin at Madison pursuing a PhD in Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in Thermodynamics. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Mathematics from the Milwaukee School of Engineering with honors, where I tutored Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer as a tutor certified by the College Reading and Learning Association.
I love teaching and tutoring, and one day aspire to be a professor at the university level. I have experience tutoring both in-person and online. My favorite subjects to tutor are Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, but I can also cover other mechanical engineering subjects such as fluid mechanics, mechanics of materials, physics, MATLAB, and calculus.
I am extremely passionate about the subjects I study. I love learning, but even more, I love helping others learn. Please feel free to reach out to discuss scheduling a lesson. I look forward to helping you reach your learning potential!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
While my process tends to be customized to specific student's needs, my general style is to ask questions to encourage a student to critically think about a topic or problem so that they arrive at their own conclusions and solutions with my guidance, rather than just lecturing or giving an answer. This way, a student not only learns a specific topic, but also learns how to think through new problems they may encounter in the future.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Research Assistant at the University of Wisconsin at Madison pursuing a PhD in Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in Thermodynamics. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Mathematics from the Milwaukee School of Engineering with honors, where I tutored Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer as a tutor certified by the College Reading and Learning Association.
How did you get started teaching?
Throughout my own education, I found myself often helping my peers. My dorm room quickly became a center for unofficial tutoring as my peers and underclassmen on my floor would congregate there for my help. I realized that I love helping others learn even more than I love learning for myself. Because of this, I pursued an official tutoring job at my undergraduate university, where I grew to love it even more. Because of these experiences, I plan to one day become a professor and teach full time.
