Geometry

Excellent knowledge and understanding of Geometry principles and laws that governs accurate geometry problem solving skills. Ability to convey geometry knowledge to students in an efficient and easy manner that enhances understanding of the concepts.
Physics

Physics

I am a professional engineer and I have been working with physics and engineering theories most of my academic and professional career. I have a proven unique way of teaching the subject matter that has worked for many students in the past, and I am confident that I can also help you.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

As an active practicing engineer for many years, and a career that dates back over 30 years ago, prealgebra has been an everyday material that I need to know in almost all my every day problem solving. Add to that the numerous hours I spent tutoring this math subject one on one to many students.
Precalculus

Precalculus

Being a current tutor for calculus II and III for which pre-calculus is a pre-requisite to these two courses, I say that I have a very good understanding of the material, and therefore able to tutor this subject with ease.
SAT Math

SAT Math

As a practicing engineer since the late eighties, I have been acquiring all sorts of SAT problem solving skills in math, and knowledge in English. I have also tutored many students in SAT math and helped them raise their test scores.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

Trigonometry is one of my favorite math subjects, and knowing it well is part of my career requirements. I have been exposed to it since my early days in high school, in college, and through a long engineering career dating back to 1988. Every subject in engineering from Calculus to Physics to Statics to Mechanics of Materials and others requires some form of trigonometric knowledge in problem solving. Knowing the trigonometric circle and its functions is imperative to an engineer problem solving skills and success. I am good at it because it is part of my engineering life, and I stumble upon it often enough in my every day work assignments.

Recommended tutor

When I began studying for my NCEES P.E. Exam in Structural, I quickly realized there were major gaps in my knowledge. My background was in Electrical Engineering, with both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in E.E., and my professional experience centered on designing structural drawings for temporary structures and construction equipment. That meant entire areas of the exam—AASHTO, Prestressed Concrete, Seismic Design, Masonry Design, and more—were completely new to me. For almost 2 years, I studied with Roger three days a week. We started with basic P.E. problems and worked our way up to complex, multi-step structural questions across every specification tested. Roger always arrived prepared, having already reviewed the problems and mapped out an approach. He explained each step with clarity and patience, which made even the most difficult concepts manageable. Over time, my skills and confidence grew. I learned to navigate the manuals quickly, identify the right approach, and execute solutions efficiently. In the end, I not only passed my P.E. in Structural, but I became a far stronger engineer thanks to Roger’s dedication. I owe him a great deal of gratitude and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone preparing for the exam

Christopher, 172 lessons with Roger

excellent explanations

Roger helped me understand statics problems in a simplified way. He has a great style of teaching concepts that can be difficult to grasp.

Nancy, 7 lessons with Roger

well prepared tutor

Roger asked me to send the materials that I would like to work on before the session and he also send me the worksheet after the session. He helped me a lot during the session.

Aaron, 13 lessons with Roger

Great Teacher

Really understands the material and goes through all of it to make sure you understand. Works through any problems that I send his way. Definitely would recommend him to any Engineering Student.

Jake, 11 lessons with Roger

Very easy to understand and follow.

We are going over retaining wall structural calcs and it has been very engaging. I even love getting homework. By the time we finish, I plan on using this refresher course to perform more structural work for my company.

Jorge, 12 lessons with Roger

Experienced and patient

Roger really helped me on understanding the drawings especially since I have no experience in interpreting plans. I now have a good grasp on the utilities in particular. Would definitely recommend his tutoring.

Gerard, 2 lessons with Roger

Goes above and beyond

Roger is actively helping me through my civil engineering course, and has trained me and filled in the gaps of my knowledge, allowing me to succeed in the subject. He is consistent, prepared and knowledgeable, and always ready to answer any questions I may have.
