MIT Engineering PhD + Harvard MBA tutoring STEM and standardized tests

Hello! I am a highly experienced, passionate tutor with several thousand hours of dedicated teaching experience. The bulk of my teaching has been in the areas of STEM (programming, math, engineering, and science) and standardized test preparation. I have successfully transformed all of my students into high-performers in their fields of study. If you select me as your tutor, I will translate my experience of over 10 years of study at MIT and Harvard (and perfect standardized test scores) into success for you. I have a strong track record of providing tailored, caring, highly personalized instruction to students of all ages, in virtually all fields of study. My strategy involves first building strong rapport with my students and inquiring to figure out where you are in your learning, and how to best communicate with you. Then I break down your subject matter into very easy-to-understand pieces that I teach you in a logical order so that you can comfortably and confidently build your knowledge until you have truly mastered your field of study--from math to science to programming to standardized test preparation. This has worked time and time again for my hundreds of students! I have never had a problem ensuring that any of my students is able to learn and truly understand whatever it is that they are studying. My approach is highly efficient; I can assure you that you will learn very quickly through my teaching style, and that you will find my services well worth your time and resources.

I currently have 4 engineering degrees from MIT (where I did my undergrad), and am working on both a PhD in engineering at MIT and an MBA at Harvard Business School. More specifically, I have bachelor's degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering, master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Technology & Policy, and my PhD is in Mechanical Engineering as well. I was Valedictorian (1st in class) of my high school class of over 300, have received perfect math and science scores on all standardized tests, and have enabled all of my students to achieve their goals. I have work experience in consulting and engineering.

My standards of teaching are extremely high, as is my excellent ability to assess your needs and teach you what you need in the way that suits you best. I recognize that people have very different learning styles, and come form a wide variety of different backgrounds. I am particularly skilled at presenting the right content and style of teaching so that you can master your subject area.

I consider myself a real people-person who thrives when interacting with others. I rose to the rank of Eagle Scout back in scouting during my high school days, and love to take on leadership roles of increasing responsibility, including teaching my students what they need in order to succeed. I come from a transient military family and have five brothers, so I am used to frequently meeting and working with new people. I thoroughly enjoy tutoring, and hope to continue broadening the academic horizons of students here in the Greater Boston Area and beyond.

My work experience includes management consulting at McKinsey & Company, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and Samsung Group's Global Strategy Group. I have also worked as an aerospace engineer at Boeing, product planner at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, and mechanical engineer at BMW in Germany.
