About Chris

Bio

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering at California State University Long Beach in 2021. During my time at CSULB, I conducted research in Theoretical Aerodynamics, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Propulsion. After graduating, I began my career in the National Defense Industry, designing reconnaissance aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles for contracts totaling more than $300,000. In 2023, I earned the MathWorks MATLAB Associate License from The MathWorks, Inc. and...

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering at California State University Long Beach in 2021. During my time at CSULB, I conducted research in Theoretical Aerodynamics, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Propulsion. After graduating, I began my career in the National Defense Industry, designing reconnaissance aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles for contracts totaling more than $300,000. In 2023, I earned the MathWorks MATLAB Associate License from The MathWorks, Inc. and in 2024, I earned my teaching credential from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC). I have over five years of tutoring experience with students at both the high school and university level. My teaching approach involves giving students more autonomy and decision making over their learning. By doing so, my students form the critical thinking skills needed to succeed in the modern engineering industry of today.

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Engineers use Algebra everyday to to describe real-world scenarios; from determining the lift off speed of an aircraft to predicting the projectile motion of a missile. Algebra is fundamental to Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, where engineers use systems of linear and nonlinear equations to predict the behavior of any man made system. Algebra will also provide the basis for more advanced Mathematics like Calculus and Trigonometry.

Calculus

Calculus

As an aerospace engineer, I’ve used Calculus to model and control dynamic systems in aircraft and spacecraft, including flight stability and navigation algorithms. It’s fundamental in optimizing rocket trajectories through integral calculus and in solving systems of equations during aerodynamic simulations. Also called "Math in Motion", it's used every day for engineering precision and performance.
Chemistry

Chemistry

Engineers use chemistry to select materials that can withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, and environmental conditions—critical in designing engines and structural components in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Chemistry is particularly useful in Propulsion Engineering and Thermodynamics, where understanding fuel composition, combustion reactions, and heat transfer mechanisms allows for optimizing engine performance and energy efficiency.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

As an educator of tomorrow’s workforce, my primary goal is to prepare K‑12 students for a future of college‑level thinking. My mission is to ignite confidence and deliver the results you want to see: an actual improvement in your child's grade. I meet students where they are, and build on top of what they already know. I lead with authority but teach with patience. This isn’t just tutoring—it’s transformation.
High School Placement Test

High School Placement Test

As a K-12 Educator, I specialize in preparing students for the High School and beyond by strengthening their skills in math, science, reading, and language. I focus on test-taking strategies, timing, and content mastery to boost confidence and scores. My goal is to make sure students don’t just take the test—they own it.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

As an aerospace engineer, I’ve used Linear Algebra to model and control dynamic systems in aircraft and spacecraft, including flight stability and navigation algorithms. It’s fundamental in optimizing structural loads through matrix-based finite element analysis and in solving systems of equations during aerodynamic simulations. From attitude control in satellites to sensor fusion in aircraft, Linear Algebra has been central to engineering precision and performance.
MATLAB

MATLAB

I have over 5 years of experience working with the MATLAB software and coding within the MATLAB environment. In 2023, I earned the MathWorks Certified MATLAB Associate License, which tested my proficiency in writing scripts, working with variables and arrays, and creating built-in functions to solve computational problems. I've used MATLAB programming techniques to create visualizations and models fundamental to Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

I've gained exposure to a wide range of topics within Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Some topics I can help you with include: Engineering Statics, Engineering Fluid Dynamics, Engineering Thermodynamics, Engineering Instrumentation and Measurement, Aerodynamics, Propulsion, MATLAB Programming, Aerospace Structures, Mechanical Control Systems, Spacecraft Design, Orbital Mechanics, and more.
Physics

Physics

Engineers apply Newton’s laws to predict how vehicles and machines will respond to external forces, ensuring they can operate safely and efficiently. Physics concepts are used in statics and dynamics to design jet engines, control heat transfer, and even optimize airflow around airplane wings. Physics makes it possible to model real-world behavior accurately and to design new technologies in transportation, energy, and space exploration.
Precalculus

Precalculus

Calculus allows engineers to model and analyze dynamic systems, such as the changing velocity of an aircraft or the stress distribution within a mechanical component. Differential Calculus is used to predict how systems respond to forces, heat, and motion over time, enabling the design of stable and efficient models. Integral calculus is also used to calculate quantities like work, center of mass, and fluid flow, all of which are essential for optimizing performance and ensuring safety in engineering designs.
Statistics

Statistics

I’ve used Statistics in engineering to analyze test data, assess reliability of components, and quantify uncertainty in flight performance models. It’s crucial for validating simulations, guiding design decisions, and improving safety margins. Whether optimizing engine tests or interpreting sensor data, statistics ensures every choice is backed by evidence.
Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics

As an aerospace engineer, I’ve applied Thermodynamics to design efficient propulsion systems and optimize engine cycles in aircraft and spacecraft. From analyzing heat transfer in turbine blades to calculating fuel efficiency using the laws of energy conservation, it's central to system performance. Thermodynamics is the science that turns heat into thrust.
