While I am new to offering private math tutoring professionally, teaching and training others is not new to me. I’m an Honors engineering graduate from UNC Charlotte, and in college I worked as a grader for Statics I while also working directly with students through in-person study sessions and exam preparation.

While I am new to offering private math tutoring professionally, teaching and training others is not new to me. I’m an Honors engineering graduate from UNC Charlotte, and in college I worked as a grader for Statics I while also working directly with students through in-person study sessions and exam preparation. This gave me experience reviewing students’ problem-solving processes, identifying where they were getting stuck, and helping them work through technical problems rather than simply providing an answer.

Teaching, training, and mentoring have continued throughout my more than 10-year career in construction and engineering. I have regularly been responsible for training a wide range of experience levels, from people learning something for the first time to experienced professionals learning a new process. I can provide professional references from people I have personally trained who can speak to my patience, communication style, and ability to teach unfamiliar material. I’ve learned that people process information differently, and I enjoy trying different explanations, examples, and approaches until we find the one that makes a concept “click.”

I’m offering tutoring in Prealgebra and Algebra 1 for students who need help understanding concepts, working through practice problems, preparing for exams, or strengthening foundational skills. My approach is patient and centered on understanding rather than simply memorizing steps. I encourage students to work through mistakes because understanding why something went wrong is an important part of learning. If one explanation isn’t working, I’m happy to approach the problem differently, break it into smaller pieces, or use another example until the student understands both how to solve the problem and why the solution works.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I’m an engineering graduate with a strong math background and more than 10 years of experience applying problem-solving skills in my professional career. I’m comfortable with Algebra 1 topics including equations and inequalities, linear functions, slope, systems of equations, factoring, exponents, and word problems. I have extensive experience training and mentoring others and take a patient, step-by-step approach to teaching. When a concept isn’t clicking, I like to try different explanations and examples until we find an approach that makes sense to the student.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I hold a degree in Construction Management Engineering Technology from UNC Charlotte, where I completed Calculus I and II and worked as a statics grader. My background includes applying math to practical problems throughout my construction career. I help students understand Algebra 2 topics such as quadratic equations, functions, exponents, logarithms, and systems of equations by breaking problems into clear, manageable steps. My approach is patient and encouraging, with an emphasis on understanding why each step works and building confidence.
Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Construction Management Engineering Technology from UNC Charlotte, where my coursework included Calculus I and II, Physics I and II, Statics, construction materials, structures, estimating, and other engineering-based subjects. I also have approximately 10 years of professional experience in construction and construction engineering, including work in project engineering, preconstruction, estimating, quantity takeoffs, plan review, scope coordination, and technical problem solving. I previously served as a grader for Statics at UNC Charlotte, which gave me additional experience reviewing engineering calculations and explaining where students went wrong. I can help students work through introductory civil and construction engineering topics, including statics, basic structural concepts, engineering math, plan reading, estimating, quantity takeoffs, and construction-related problem solving. My tutoring style focuses on breaking problems into manageable steps and helping students understand the reasoning behind the equations rather than just memorizing a procedure.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

I hold a degree in Construction Management Engineering Technology from UNC Charlotte, where I completed Calculus I and II and worked as a statics grader. I offer support in systems of equations, matrix operations, determinants and inverses, vector spaces and bases, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and linear transformations. I also cover row reduction, rank and nullity, orthogonal projections, and changes of basis. My approach is patient and encouraging, breaking problems into manageable steps while explaining why each method works.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I’m an engineering graduate with more than 10 years of professional experience in construction, where math and practical problem-solving have been a regular part of my work. I’m comfortable helping students with prealgebra topics including fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, proportions, negative numbers, order of operations, basic equations, and word problems. Throughout my career, I have trained and mentored others and learned that people often need different explanations before a concept clicks. I take a patient approach, encourage students to work through mistakes, and focus on helping them understand why a solution works rather than simply memorizing steps.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management Engineering Technology from UNC Charlotte and completed college-level Calculus I and II, along with Physics I and II. My engineering background required a strong foundation in algebra, functions, trigonometry, graphing, and problem solving. I can help students with common Precalculus topics including functions and transformations, polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, unit circle concepts, solving trigonometric equations, systems of equations, sequences and series, and preparation for Calculus. My tutoring style focuses on breaking problems into clear steps and making sure students understand why a method works, not just how to copy a formula. I’m especially comfortable helping students strengthen the algebra skills that often make Precalculus feel harder than it needs to be.
