I’m a Mechanical and Aerospace Engineer who loves helping students turn “I don’t get it” into “ohhh, that makes sense.” I’ve worked on real engineering problems where the math and physics actually matter.

I’m a Mechanical and Aerospace Engineer who loves helping students turn “I don’t get it” into “ohhh, that makes sense.” I’ve worked on real engineering problems where the math and physics actually matter. So when I tutor, I don’t just teach formulas, I teach how to think like an engineer and how to set problems up correctly from the start. I also tutor broader STEM and math topics, from middle school and high school math through college engineering calculus and physics, and I’ve worked with students ages 13+.
I studied at the University of South Florida, where I earned my degree in Mechanical & Aerospace engineering, and I was also a full ride academic scholarship recipient at USF. I spent three years doing research in unmanned and autonomous systems at USF, while also periodically tutoring at the University tutoring center for a little over a year, working one on one with college students across a wide range of math and science courses. Most of that tutoring was focused on homework help and exam review, and I learned how to explain the same topic in different ways depending on how each student learns.
I have four years of industry experience working in the Engineering field, so I understand what professors are trying to build toward and how these topics show up in real applications. My tutoring style is typically linear while focusing on structure and patience. I focus on breaking problems down into clear steps because most students struggle with where to start and how to set the problem up and tend understand better once they know how to set the problems up. In a typical session, we start by identifying what’s blocking progress, then I show a clean method, we work through a similar example together, and I have the student try one on their own with coaching so they leave with a repeatable system. My goal is that students leave sessions not only with the correct solution, but with the confidence and process to solve the next one on their own.
