About Sebastian


Bio

Hi, I'm Sebastian! I'm a graduate of Stevens Institute of Technology with a B.E. in Mechanical Engineering and a nearly finished M.E. in Mechanical Engineering. My approach to tutoring is to usually dive right in and begin solving problems. I'm a big proponent of using the Socratic Method when teaching and guiding my students to finding the solution to a problem step-by-step. Along the way, I'll identify gaps in your understanding and patch them up with lessons showing the relevant theory. I...

Hi, I'm Sebastian! I'm a graduate of Stevens Institute of Technology with a B.E. in Mechanical Engineering and a nearly finished M.E. in Mechanical Engineering. My approach to tutoring is to usually dive right in and begin solving problems. I'm a big proponent of using the Socratic Method when teaching and guiding my students to finding the solution to a problem step-by-step. Along the way, I'll identify gaps in your understanding and patch them up with lessons showing the relevant theory. I love the material that I teach and will do my best to pass on that passion to you! I believe that learning is a lifelong pursuit and I will do my best to not only help you pass your classes and exams, but to make you a better learner overall.
I scored 800 on the SAT Math section and 800 on the SAT Math Level 2. I received 5's on the AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, and AP Physics exams. My coursework included classes such as Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, Heat Transfer, Convection, Intro to Aerospace, Compressible Flow, Numerical Methods, and Computational Fluid Dynamics & Heat Transfer.

I began tutoring during my freshman year of high school. As an underclassman, I tutored Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry. As an upperclassman, I primarily tutored SAT Math, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, and AP Physics. I continued tutoring during my 6 years at Stevens, primarily teaching Calculus I, Calculus II, and Physics. I mostly tutored in a one-on-one setting with the occasional group lesson here and there, mostly in the form of exam preparation.

Whether you need help working through HW problems, preparing for exams, taking notes, managing time during a busy semester, or in any other academic endeavor, I want to help you meet your goals an efficient and timely manner. I'm very flexible with my schedule and am willing to work with you so that I can help you in the best possible way. Reach out to me lets schedule your lesson!

Great tutor with good rapport

After only two sessions my son increased his test scores by 30 points. He enjoys working with him and expressed that he feels more organized and comfortable with the material. I’m confident with continued sessions he’ll end the school year with an A, and we’re happy to have found the right tutor.

Knowledgeable, patient and thorough

SAT prep done right. Explains thoroughly and with a lot of patience. My daughter feels confident that he’ll help her improve math and get the score she’s trying to achieve
