Dean's List Mechanical Engineering Junior at Rutgers

Andrew S.

I am a Mechanical Engineering junior at Rutgers University with a 3.953 GPA, currently pursuing a 4+1 Master’s track. My research in the Rutgers Combustion Lab and my current preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam ensure that the core curriculum—from Thermodynamics to Fluid Mechanics—is up to date and ready for our sessions. My goal is to help you see the logic behind the formulas so you can solve complex problems with confidence.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in practical experience and efficiency. I spent a year as a STEM tutor for student-athletes, which taught me how to deliver high-impact lessons to students with extremely demanding schedules. Beyond campus, I bring insights from my roles as a Systems Application Engineer Intern at Schneider Electric and a researcher for the Department of Homeland Security (ORISE program). Combined with my upcoming manufacturing internship at ABB, these experiences allow me to demonstrate how textbook theory translates into high-stakes industrial environments.

Engineering is best learned through a combination of rigorous problem-solving and conceptual visualization. My tutoring style is highly personalized; I enjoy working one-on-one to identify specific roadblocks and develop tailored strategies that go beyond just passing an exam. Having mentored many peers in diverse research settings, I am comfortable helping you navigate the transition from basic calculus to specialized engineering applications. Whether you are a high school student aiming for a top-tier program or an undergraduate navigating the core curriculum, I look forward to helping you achieve academic excellence and a true mastery of the engineering sciences.
