Specialist in Engineering Retention & "Weed-Out" Survival.

Your student isn't failing because they lack intelligence. They are struggling because they are applying "High School Habits" to "Weed-Out Courses."

Specialist in Engineering Retention & "Weed-Out" Survival.

Your student isn't failing because they lack intelligence. They are struggling because they are applying "High School Habits" to "Weed-Out Courses."

Universities like Purdue design classes like Calculus 2, Physics, and Thermodynamics to filter out 50% of students. Brute-force memorization stops working here. To survive the "Drop Zone," you don't need a tutor who just solves the homework; you need an Engineer's Operating System.

My Proven Process: I am a Senior Honors Mechanical Engineer at Purdue University. I maintain a 3.9+ GPA while running a startup—not because of some IQ advantage, but because I use a rigorous system of Constraint Theory and First-Principles Thinking.

I install this same system in my students.

The Shift: We move from "Memorizing Formulas" to "Visualizing Systems."

The Skill: I teach the specific mental models needed to crack abstract concepts like Entropy, Infinite Series, and Gauss's Law.

The Result: My students don't just pass; they regain their confidence and retain their scholarships.

Subject Expertise:
The "Weed-Outs": Calculus (1, 2, 3+), AP Physics (Mechanics & E&M), Thermodynamics.
The Tools: Python, SolidWorks, Unity, CAD.
The Entrance: ACT Math & Science (Strategy + Consistency = Results).

The Bottom Line: Don't let a single difficult class derail an entire engineering degree. It is a bad financial bet. I bridge the gap between "failing" and "thriving" by teaching your student to think like an Engineer.

ACT Math

ACT Math

Standardized testing is about pattern recognition and speed, not just raw intelligence. I teach the specific "shortcuts" and time-management strategies high-scoring engineering students use to crush these sections. We will focus on identifying the "trick" in every question to maximize your score with the least stress.
