I'm working on my MS in Flight Test Engineering and Private Pilot's Certificate, and I have my BS in Mechanical Engineering.

Hello, my name is Kelsey!

A little bit about me ...

I just moved here from Fort Carson, CO. I finished my contract in the military and am starting school in January. I'm working on my MS in Flight Test Engineering and Private Pilot's Certificate, and I have my BS in Mechanical Engineering. For the last six years, I worked as a helicopter mechanic and deployed twice.

I have a passion for aviation, mechanics, math, and teaching. I like to learn and help people reach their potential. I have tutored in subjects including math, physics, and standardized testing for various ages. It is a great joy to be able to help a student acquire enthusiasm for learning new things.

I am available to tutor online via useful interactive tools provided by this site. We can collaborate and learn by drawing pictures, typing equations, explanations, and questions, and utilizing video and audio. My available tutoring days are Sunday-Saturday.

My methods of tutoring are utilizing graphs and pictures to express concepts to students who learn visually; working through problems step-by-step alongside the student; discussing concepts with students who learn through auditory means; asking thoughtful questions during tutoring sessions to reinforce learning; and teaching students to effectively utilize their textbooks to improve independent study.

And as for those more advanced topics ...

I was always disappointed with the decrease of tutors as I moved into my senior classes for my undergrad for Mechanical Engineering.

My goal is to be that tutor. I can help you learn how to set up homework problems, utilize your textbook, and study ahead to learn those advanced subjects such as Thermodynamics, Statics, Dynamics, etc. All I need is for you to forward your notes, past assignments, and textook ISBN ahead of time. It can be rough, but we will work through it together!

I look forward to working with you!

Elementary Math

Elementary math teaches students to manipulate numbers by counting, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. This subject also provides a brief introduction to algebra (dealing with unknown variables) and cost/profit analysis.
Reading,

Reading

This course teaches a student about reading comprehension. A student learns how to read a piece of writing, analyze it, and deduce what the author was trying to portray, describe, or argue. Reading teaches a student to discover the author's intentions.

I took a course called "How to become a superstar student" that taught me how to study in college. I have also learned study methods that work when preparing for tests in college. I plan to use the knowledge and experience that I have gained in college to prepare kids for proactive, college studying. This will include: learning to read ahead at least one week so as to be prepared to ask questions in class when the subject is taught, comparing book notes and class notes to find similarities, making a list of questions as you are reading so as to make your reading the most productive, etc.

Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

Algebra 1 is the study of how variables change in reference to other variables and how polynomial graphs behave. Learning the formulas in an algebra course is not necessarily the most important goal. The most important ability that can be acquired from any algebra course is the skill to take the knowledge, (formulas), learned and apply them to all problems, standard or modified, more complex problems; this is the capability to look at a problem from all sides and solve it the easiest way. The most important thing to learn in algebra is to be able to write down given information, think over every possibility, and adapt to new problems.

Physics,

Physics

Physics is the study of the force on an object. These forces can be caused by gravity, electricity, magnetism, drag, friction, etc. How much energy an object has is also studied in physics; energy comes in different forms, such as heat energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy. While solving problems in physics, students learn about an object's position, velocity, acceleration, momentum, and many other things. Equilibrium of the forces and moments on an object is also studied. Torque and moments of inertia are studied as well. Later in physics, students also learn about electric and magnetic forces and how these forces manipulate objects. Within this field of physics, electronic circuits, magnets, and light waves/particles are studied.

I took Differential Equations at Georgia Southern University and earned an A. Since then, I have used Differential Equations in my System Dynamics and Controls engineering class. In this class, I gained much practice with taking Laplace transforms, taking inverse Laplace transforms, and dealing with state space variables.

Trigonometry is the study of mathematical relationships that describe triangles. Concepts such as Sines, cosines, secants, cosecants, tangents, and cotangents are explored. Trigonometric relationships are important because they are later used in subjects such as Calculus.

Great Tutor!

Kelsey did a great job of assessing my child's areas of weakness and the best way to guide him. He was quick to say, "You can stop looking, mom...she is the one!" Thanks, Kelsey!

Tiffany, 34 lessons with Kelsey

Great Teacher

Showed me multiple ways to get to the problem and is organized and very nice. Come to Kelsey she’s the best!

Abigail, 3 lessons with Kelsey

Great ability to teach in short time

Kelsey is great she had me learning new math tricks and tips in just the first lesson. She really is awesome at time management and that exactly what I was looking for.

Christian , 2 lessons with Kelsey

Awesome tutor, cares a lot about making me successful

Kelsey is awesome! She taught me a new strategy for solving problems, something that will help me through every problem I encounter. She's a very understanding person, and really wants me to do well and succeed!

Marina, 1 lesson with Kelsey

Extremely Helpful-- Came through on short notice

I notified Kelsey because my daughter's had a test the next day. Kelsey couldn't meet face-to-face but was able to assist my daughter via skype. I am grateful that she went the extra mile to assist on a same day notice. Kelsey is also very responsive and gets back to you ASAP.
