Purdue Aerospace Engineering Grad student for math and science

John W.

Hello! My name is John Winings, and I’m a graduate student at Purdue University studying astrodynamics. I’ve always been drawn to the challenges of problem-solving and critical thinking, which led me to pursue both my undergraduate and graduate degrees in aerospace engineering. I also earned minors in math and management, which have complemented my technical education with broader analytical and organizational skills.

I enjoy helping others develop a deeper understanding of subjects like math and physics. I believe learning is most effective when concepts are broken down into manageable pieces, allowing students to truly grasp the reasons behind each step instead of just memorizing formulas. That’s what I love about tutoring: seeing students gain confidence as they connect the dots and begin solving problems independently.

Physics has played a major role in my academic journey. Courses like Physics 1 and 2 have been incredibly valuable, not just for the material, but for the problem-solving mindset they helped me build. I hope to pass along that mindset and support students in getting the most out of their own math and science classes. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to answer any questions. I look forward to working with you.
