I am a 68 year-old recently retired Mechanical Engineering Professor. I have a PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of Maryland. I have 8 years of teaching experience at the University of Maryland and 39 years at the U.S. Naval Academy. As a Professor, I have hundreds of hours of experience working with students one on one as well as countless hours of tutoring my own very successful children when they were young. I recognize that many students have difficulty with online learning. However, if you take time to look at my profile and read what my students have written, you will see that I have been very successful with online one-on-one tutoring.

Recently, I have had great success helping students significantly improve their Math SAT scores. I am willing to tutor any math class, K-12, Calc I and II, Physics, Math SAT prep, Math ACT prep and some college classes such as Statics, Dynamics, Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics. I look forward to helping you.

Great Tutor.

This man is an exceptional tutor. Keith is prompt, courteous, and professional. He understands the subject thoroughly but also has a gift of teaching the material in a manner that the student can understand. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found him. I would suggest that anyone considering tutors, to not be dissuaded by his higher rate. You have to consider that this man can teach material in a manner that is grasped quickly and thoroughly when compared to a tutor with a cheaper rate. Another tutor may take twice as long to convey the same understanding to your student.

Knowledgeable and patient Tutor

Keith is great at taking the material and breaking it down so my son can understand it. He does a great job of reviewing everything to make sure he understands all of the concepts.

Holly, 10 lessons with Keith

Effective, Knowledgeable and Prepared

My son recently decided to take the ASVAB and needed immediate tutoring in Math. Keith was incredibly helpful, so helpful that my son scheduled a total of 3 sessions with him (only having one week to prepare for the ASVAB). He was patient and knowledgeable, explained concepts clearly, helped him significantly. Highly recommend Keith!

Mistakenly put 3 starts on prior review the meeting went well and I am learning heat transfer more than I am in class

Great Quality of Tutoring

Dr. Keith is great and master at tutoring engineering subjects. He was able to handle my thermodynamics problems well explained and provide patient explanation when I was having fundemental problem of equations and concepts. Really helpful tutoring experience.

Botao, 1 lesson with Keith

Phenomenal Difference!

There were very few tutors that could teach statics at the college level for my son. With just two lessons, Keith was able to teach my son enough Statics to ace his test at Georgia Tech and not have to withdraw from the class. His knowledge and expertise in teaching were evident within the first 10 minutes. HIGHLY recommend!

Fantastic

Keith’s ability to pinpoint areas that need improvement and then work fiercely to bring his students to a higher level is extremely impressive. In just three sessions we’ve seen massive leaps. Worth his weight in gold.

Kelly, 19 lessons with Keith

Instant Hit!

My son had one session with Keith and said he learned more in that 90 minutes than he did in the 10+ hours at the local 5-star tutoring company. Glad to find Keith but I wish it was sooner so I didn't waste the money I spent so far. I'm looking forward to seeing what my son can accomplish with Keith's guidance. Thank you Keith!
