Hello! My name is Dylan, and I am an undergraduate student studying Mechanical Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). My academic background gives me a deep, practical understanding of STEM concepts ranging from foundational math to college-level mechanics. Beyond my coursework, I am an active member of the RIT Launch Initiative, where I help design and test a liquid rocket engine. This hands-on application of physics and calculus allows me to bring real-world engineering problem-solving directly into my tutoring sessions, helping students connect abstract formulas to exciting practical uses.
While my academic training covers advanced coursework, my instructional experience stems from my time as a middle school track coach specializing in hurdles. Coaching middle school athletes taught me how to break down complex physical movements into manageable, step-by-step components, a technique that transfers directly to academic tutoring. I specialize in tutoring subjects across the STEM spectrum, including Algebra 1 and 2, Calculus, Physics, AP Physics, and introductory college Mechanical Engineering courses. My teaching approach focuses on patience, foundational understanding, and building problem-solving confidence. I tailor each lesson to the student's unique learning style, ensuring they learn how to approach unfamiliar problems independently rather than just memorizing steps.
To ensure we maximize our time together, I ask students to share textbook pages, notes, or specific homework problems prior to our session so I can prepare targeted material. I also maintain a standard 12-hour cancellation policy to keep scheduling smooth and predictable. Whether you are building confidence in algebra, preparing for AP Physics, or tackling early engineering coursework, I am eager to help you reach your academic goals. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule your first lesson!
