I have a Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering and several years of experience helping students succeed in mathematics, physics, and engineering courses. My teaching experience began in high school tutoring Algebra I students and continued throughout both my undergraduate and graduate studies.
As a Supplemental Instruction Leader for University Physics I, I led review sessions and guided students through collaborative problem solving. I received training in evidence-based tutoring methods, including active learning, guided questioning, identifying misconceptions, and helping students develop conceptual understanding rather than relying on memorization. My goal was not only to help students solve problems, but to understand why the solution works.
I also led recitation sessions for Mechanics of Materials and served as a Graduate Assistant for Thermodynamics I and Gas Turbine Propulsion. Through office hours, exam reviews, and one-on-one instruction, I learned how to adapt explanations to different learning styles and identify the specific concepts preventing a student from progressing. My approach focuses on building strong fundamentals, developing problem-solving skills, and helping students gain confidence in challenging subjects.
I have worked with students ranging from high school through university-level engineering courses in classroom, small-group, and one-on-one settings. In addition to tutoring, I currently work as an aerospace engineer in the space industry and can provide guidance on engineering education, internships, research opportunities, and STEM career paths.
