I am a mechanical engineering student about to graduate with a math minor. I love to teach and believe that a good tutoring relationship improves the mental well-being of everyone involved. I have completed all of the advanced math, science, and engineering courses and carry a good GPA.

I have also passed the Fundamentals of Engineering licensing exam and scored in the 95th percentile on the GRE. In addition to my studies at the University, I also am a research assistant in the Robotics and Motion Lab which gives me a great deal of enjoyment and intellectual stimulation.

I have a history of teaching math to students of all ages. I possess a talent and a passion for math which I work hard to instill in others.

As an engineering student, I am well versed in many branches of science, especially physics. I find all sciences endlessly fascinating, and believe that all students can build a love of science.

I scored in the 98th percentile on the SATs, including the reading portion. I have tutored several past students who have achieved significant increases in their scores.

My schedule is flexible, and I would love to meet with you and hopefully help you. Please contact me with any questions.

Calculus

I have been studying Calculus since my sophomore year in high school. My Engineering degree and Mathematics minor both involve extensive training in advanced mathematical concepts. Calculus lies at the core of many of these concepts, and is a subject I am very familiar with.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I have studied Chemistry at the middle school, high school, and university level. I also have tutored students at each of these levels. Chemistry is a primary science, and highly valuable to a student's science literacy. I teach students the concepts necessary to success in Chemistry, as well as the process of intelligent analysis and problem solving.
Geology

Geology

With a solid educational background in all physical sciences, I am well studied in Geology. I am, however, not an expert at the most advanced levels of Geology. Therefore, I am qualified to tutor students at the middle school and high school level, but not the university level.
Geometry

Geometry

As an Engineering major, and a Mathematics minor, I have many years of education in Geometry. In addition to studying Geometry directly, it also been a principal component of all advanced mathematics. Tutoring mathematics of all kinds is also something I am experienced in, teaching students the fundamental principles as well as the problem solving process to ensure success.
GRE

GRE

I am a college Senior myself, preparing for graduate school. I have a GPA over 3.0 in a demanding major and minor. I have helped several fellow students prepare for the exam. My own scores are 166 Verbal, 165 Quantitative, with a 5.5 Writing.
Mechanical Engineering

Very Happy

My son had almost given up on his high school physics class. Chris is excellent at explaining both how to work problems and the concepts behind them. After just one session with Chris, my son regained much of his confidence, and no longer feels doomed to fail the course. As a parent, I'm so grateful and relieved to have found such a good tutor.
