Bio

I am a nuclear engineer at Waterford 3 in Louisiana, where I have worked as a Reactor Engineer since 2022. I earned my bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from LSU and my master's degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. My day-to-day work centers on reactor physics, thermodynamics, and thermal-hydraulics — the same fundamentals behind the physics, calculus, and engineering courses I tutor.

I am a nuclear engineer at Waterford 3 in Louisiana, where I have worked as a Reactor Engineer since 2022. I earned my bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from LSU and my master's degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. My day-to-day work centers on reactor physics, thermodynamics, and thermal-hydraulics — the same fundamentals behind the physics, calculus, and engineering courses I tutor.
I have spent the last several years mentoring junior engineers one-on-one, including guiding a coworker through full technical qualification, which taught me how to break complex topics into steps that actually stick. My approach starts from the underlying concept rather than memorized procedures, then works through problems together until the student can solve them independently. I tutor high school and college students in physics, calculus, and introductory engineering, and I adapt to different learning styles and paces.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

As a nuclear engineer with a master’s degree from the University of Tennessee, I use algebra every day to analyze reactor performance and solve real engineering problems. I teach all the core Algebra 1 topics, including linear equations and inequalities, systems of equations, exponents, factoring, and quadratics. My approach is to break each problem into clear, logical steps so students understand why a method works, not just how to follow it. I also connect concepts to real-world applications, which helps students build confidence and keep what they’ve learned.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from LSU and a master’s degree from the University of Tennessee, and I now work as a nuclear engineer, where I use Algebra 2 concepts every day. I tutor the full Algebra 2 curriculum, including functions and transformations, polynomials and factoring, rational and radical expressions, exponential and logarithmic functions, complex numbers, systems of equations, and sequences and series. My approach is to explain why each method works and how the topics connect, such as how logarithms undo exponentials and how graphs reflect equations, so students aren’t stuck memorizing steps. I use real-world examples like radioactive decay, compound interest, and engineering data to make abstract concepts make sense and to prepare students for Precalculus, the ACT, and the SAT.
Physics

Physics

I earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from LSU, with a minor in nuclear engineering, and completed a master’s degree at the University of Tennessee. I work as a reactor engineer at a commercial nuclear power plant, where I apply physics every day, from energy and heat transfer to radiation and nuclear reactions. I tutor algebra- and calculus-based physics, covering kinematics, forces, energy, momentum, rotation, fluids, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, waves, and optics. I teach students to start with a clear diagram, reason through the physics before reaching for an equation, and check their answers with units and limiting cases, so they can handle problems they haven’t seen before.
