As a Senior Engineering Manager with over a decade of experience in high-stakes aerospace design, I bring a unique, real-world perspective to STEM and professional development. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and am a PMP-certified professional with a background in managing complex $30M+ projects. My technical career has been built on the ability to master difficult concepts like Calculus, Physics, and Statics, but my true passion lies in breaking those concepts down so they are intuitive and accessible for others.

My teaching experience is rooted in a decade of 1-on-1 mentorship and five years as a dedicated Home Educator for my own children. I have successfully guided students through the rigors of AP Calculus, Physics, and SAT/ACT preparation, consistently focusing on building a "first principles" understanding rather than rote memorization. Whether I am coaching a working professional through the PMP exam or helping a high school student navigate complex equations, I use a diagnostic approach to identify foundational gaps and then bridge them with practical, real-world examples.

My tutoring philosophy is centered on building confidence through mastery. I believe that every student has a unique "logic language," and my goal is to translate difficult academic material into a format that clicks for them. During our sessions, I maintain a supportive yet rigorous environment, encouraging active problem-solving and critical thinking. I look forward to helping you or your student achieve your academic and professional goals through a tailored, results-driven approach.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I scored perfect scores in the math portion of the SAT and ACT and have successfully taught all of my children the tips and tricks to crack the ACT. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to mathematics and education. I break down complex topics into simplest examples and do not leave a subject until the student has complete understanding.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I scored perfect scores in the math portion of the SAT and ACT and have successfully taught all of my children algebra 1 and they consistently test substantially higher than their grade level in math. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to mathematics and education. I break down complex topics into simplest examples and do not leave a subject until the student has complete understanding.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I scored perfect scores in the math portion of the SAT and ACT and have successfully taught all of my children algebra 2 and they consistently test substantially higher than their grade level in math. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to mathematics and education. I break down complex topics into simplest examples and do not leave a subject until the student has complete understanding.
Geometry

Geometry

I scored perfect scores in the math portion of the SAT and ACT and have successfully taught all of my children geometry and they consistently test substantially higher than their grade level in math. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to mathematics and education. I break down complex topics into simplest examples and do not leave a subject until the student has complete understanding.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

As a Mechanical Engineering hiring manager, I bring an 'inside-the-room' perspective on what top-tier firms actually look for beyond technical proficiency. I specialize in teaching candidates how to navigate the STAR method for behavioral questions and how to articulate their design process during technical deep-dives. My coaching focuses on bridging the gap between engineering theory and the professional communication skills required to land competitive roles in the field. I provide actionable feedback on portfolio presentation and the specific problem-solving frameworks that lead to 'Hire' recommendations.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

I am a professional Mechanical Engineer with over a decade of industry experience, specializing in complex aerospace systems and senior project leadership. My technical expertise covers core undergraduate and graduate disciplines, including Statics, Dynamics, Thermodynamics, and Mechanics of Materials. Throughout my career at major aerospace firms, I have applied these theoretical principles to multi-million dollar sustainment and design projects, giving me a unique ability to explain how textbook equations function in real-world applications. I focus on helping students master the "why" behind the math to ensure they can confidently solve even the most challenging engineering problems.
Project Management

Project Management

​I am a PMP-certified Senior Project Manager with over a decade of experience leading high-stakes engineering teams and managing complex budgets exceeding $30M. My expertise spans the full project lifecycle, from initial resource allocation and risk mitigation to final execution using both Waterfall and Agile methodologies. Having navigated the rigorous PMP certification process myself, I specialize in helping students master the five process groups and the latest PMBOK standards through practical, real-world examples. I focus on developing a strategic mindset in my students, ensuring they can confidently manage schedules, stakeholders, and technical constraints in any professional environment.

knowledgeable and well mannered

Tyler is the GOAT. great guy. Very patient and also speaks clear English (which is sometimes hard to find for engineering tutors). He helped me understand all the concepts i needed to know and really made sure i was prepared for my test. He is very smart and is a great teacher. If you want a tutor that's just a normal guy (who happens to know statics) and not some 65 year old PHD professor who is going to speak in tongues when teaching you, Tyler is your guy. Did i mention his hourly rate is also phenomenal!? Overall, I highly recommend Tyler to any aspiring engineers who need help in their courses.

Knowledgeable and engaged communicator!

Excellent tutor for engineering math! He was highly engaged from the start and jumped right into problem-solving with my son rather than wasting time. Really appreciated how he checked in frequently to make sure my son understood the material. Would definitely recommend for statics or other engineering courses.

Excellent tutor

I booked a lesson with Tyler for my daughters on matrices and an introduction to AI, and he was amazing. My daughters had trouble understanding the concept and he explained it to them in a way that was clear, and age-appropriate for them. He checked for understanding, and made sure they felt confident before moving on. Highly recommend Tyler if you are looking for someone who is patient and great at explaining complex ideas.
