Hi! My name is Jordan, I am a PhD Candidate at the University of Florida, studying Environmental Engineering. I have both my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Florida. I hold three graduate certificates from the University of Florida: Engineering Leadership, Great Teaching Certificate, and Engineering Project Management. With my expertise in STEM and my experience with academic and technical writing, I am comfortable teachign and tutoring in subjects such as calculus, algebra, chemistry, engineering, professional communication, and english.

I have taught at the university level and have tutored students of all ages, from K-12 through college and graduate school, in both classroom and one-on-one settings over the past ten years. My approach to teaching is to start by figuring out where a student's understanding actually breaks down. I work backward to find that gap, rebuild it, and then connect the new material to something they already understand. I lean on real-world examples, work problems step by step, and check understanding by having the student walk me through their reasoning.

Beyond the subject matter, I try to make sessions low-pressure and build a student's confidence as much as their skills, since anxiety around math and science is often as much of a barrier as the content itself. Whether you're a high schooler working through algebra or physics, a college student facing calculus or a tough engineering course, or a graduate student, my goal is the same: to help you not just get the right answer, but understand why it's right so you can do it on your own. I am excited to help you reach your goals!

Approved Subjects

Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering

I hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Environmental Engineering from the University of Florida and am now a PhD candidate, with a strong chemistry background that underpins much of chemical engineering. I'm well-versed in the foundational areas students work through, including thermodynamics, material and energy balances, transport processes, and the chemistry and math these courses rely on. I have taught at the university level and tutored students from high school through graduate school, so I'm comfortable meeting students at any stage of the major. My approach is to break complex problems into clear, logical steps and connect the theory to real-world processes, so students understand the reasoning rather than memorizing equations.
Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering

I hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Environmental Engineering from the University of Florida and am currently a PhD candidate, with research focused on reusing industrial waste materials in construction applications, work that sits right at the intersection of environmental and civil engineering. I'm well-versed in the core civil coursework students work through, including statics, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, and materials science, as well as the math foundations these courses depend on. I have taught at the university level and tutored students from high school through graduate school, so I'm comfortable meeting a student wherever they are, whether they're just starting the major or deep into upper-division courses. My approach is to break complex problems into clear steps and connect the theory to physical, real-world examples, so students understand the reasoning rather than just memorizing formulas.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I'm a PhD candidate who has successfully navigated undergraduate, master's, and doctoral admissions, and I've mentored undergraduate and high school students through their own college applications. I can help students think through where to apply, understand what programs are looking for, and present themselves well across every part of the application, from essays to overall strategy. Having sat on the student side of this process at multiple levels, I offer practical, current guidance and a calm perspective on what can feel like an overwhelming process. My goal is to help students and families approach applications with clarity and confidence.
Creative Writing

Creative Writing

Alongside my technical background as a PhD candidate, I've practiced creative writing since high school, primarily poetry, and served as president of my high school's creative writing club for two years. I love helping writers find their voice and develop their craft, whether that's playing with imagery, rhythm, and form in poetry or strengthening the fundamentals of any creative piece. I have tutored students of all ages and enjoy creating a supportive, encouraging space where writers feel free to experiment and take creative risks. My approach balances craft and encouragement; I offer concrete techniques while helping each writer build confidence in their own style.
Data Analysis

Data Analysis

I'm a PhD candidate in Environmental Engineering whose research involves regular hands-on data analysis, using Excel, statistical methods, data visualization, and R. I help students not just run the numbers but understand what they're doing and why, from organizing and cleaning data to choosing the right statistical approach and presenting results clearly through effective visualizations. I have taught at the university level and tutored students from high school through graduate school, and I can adapt to whatever tools a student is working in. My goal is to demystify data so students feel confident interpreting and communicating what it actually shows.
Earth Science

Earth Science

I hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Environmental Engineering from the University of Florida, where I am now a PhD candidate, and Earth science fundamentals are woven throughout that training. My coursework and research have covered the core areas students study including water systems and the hydrologic cycle, soil and earth materials, natural resources, and human impacts on the environment — and my doctoral work on reusing industrial waste materials keeps me engaged with how earth and material systems connect in the real world. I have taught at the university level and tutored students from high school through graduate school, and I enjoy making earth science click by tying it to things students can actually see around them. My focus is always on helping students understand why a process works the way it does, so they can reason through new problems on their own rather than just memorizing facts.
Environmental Science

Environmental Science

I hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Environmental Engineering from the University of Florida and am currently a PhD candidate in the field, so I work with this material every day. My doctoral research focuses on reusing industrial waste materials in construction applications, which keeps me hands-on with the core environmental science concepts including water and resource systems, sustainability, and material reuse. I have taught at the university level and have several years of experience tutoring students in environmental science and engineering from the high school through graduate level. I focus on helping students understand the why behind each concept, using real-world examples, so they can apply it confidently on their own.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I'm a PhD candidate with multiple first-author and co-authored publications, extensive experience writing research reports and funded proposals, and a track record of editing other students' work. I help students at every stage of the essay: developing a thesis, building a logical structure, supporting claims with evidence, and polishing the prose. I have taught at the university level and tutored students from high school through graduate school, so I can adjust from a first five-paragraph essay to advanced academic writing. My focus is on helping writers say what they mean clearly and persuasively, and on building skills they can reuse on every essay that follows.
Fiction Writing

Fiction Writing

I'm a lifelong creative writer who has practiced the craft since high school, where I led my creative writing club as president for two years, and I enjoy helping students bring their stories to life. I can teach the fundamentals of fiction, including character, plot, setting, dialogue, and voice, and help writers strengthen their pacing and structure.
