About Dennis

Bio

I have a passion for helping others to learn and have tutored elementary, high school, college and adult students. I have used math and physics extensively during my career as an engineer and have learned how to explain concepts in an easily understandable way. I started tutoring with Wyzant two years ago and I am excited about the opportunities that I have had to share math and physics with my students. My specialties are Precalculus, Trigonometry, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry.

I want to help the students I work with, and therefore welcome any suggestions students or parents can provide. Contact me today if you have questions or to schedule a tutoring session. Thank you!

ACT Math

ACT Math

As a Mechanical Engineer, I have had extensive education in mathematics. My tutoring method is to engage students by helping them understand concepts, guiding them while they work through practice problems and encouraging them as they become more independent. I will review strategies for higher scores including how to identify areas for improvement, key formulas you should know, taking practice tests to become familiar with the ACT test, and time management.
ACT Science

ACT Science

As a Mechanical Engineer, I have had extensive education in mathematics. My tutoring method is to engage students by helping them understand concepts, guiding them while they work through practice problems and encouraging them as they become more independent. I will review strategies for higher scores including the 3 types of passages in the ACT (Data Representation, Research Summaries and Conflicting Viewpoints), taking practice tests to become familiar with the ACT test, and time management.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

As a Mechanical Engineer, I have had extensive education in mathematics. My tutoring method is to engage students by helping them understand concepts, guiding them while they work through practice problems and encouraging them as they become more independent. I develop lessons specific to the needs of students on topics such as solving equations, absolute value equations, equations of lines, solving systems of equations, and how to write equations based on algebra word problems.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

As a Mechanical Engineer, I have had extensive education in mathematics. My tutoring method is to engage students by helping them understand concepts, guiding them while they work through practice problems and encouraging them as they become more independent. I develop lessons specific to the needs of students on topics such as exponential functions, logarithms, transformations, finding zeros of polynomial functions, graphing polynomials, and complex numbers.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

As a Mechanical Engineer, I have had extensive education in mathematics. My tutoring method is to engage students by helping them understand concepts, guiding them while they work through practice problems and encouraging them as they become more independent. I develop lessons specific to the needs of students on topics such as least common denominators, least common multiples, operations on fractions (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing), operations on decimals, converting fractions to decimals, how to understand and solve word problems, mean, median, mode, and range.
Geometry

Geometry

As a Mechanical Engineer, I have had extensive education in mathematics. My tutoring method is to engage students by helping them understand concepts, guiding them while they work through practice problems and encouraging them as they become more independent. I develop lessons specific to the needs of students on topics such as areas of geometric shapes, volumes of geometric shapes, geometric proofs, triangle similarity, quadrilaterals, circles – chord, secant, and tangent formulas, and parallel lines cut by transversals.
Physics

Physics

As a Mechanical Engineer, I have had extensive education in physics. My tutoring method is to engage students by helping them understand concepts, guiding them while they work through practice problems and encouraging them as they become more independent. I develop lessons specific to the needs of students on topics such as velocity and acceleration, angular velocity and acceleration, Newton’s Laws, friction, projectile motion, momentum and impulse, kinetic energy and potential energy, work, power, centripetal forces and mass moments of inertia.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

As a Mechanical Engineer, I have had extensive education in mathematics. My tutoring method is to engage students by helping them understand concepts, guiding them while they work through practice problems and encouraging them as they become more independent. I develop lessons specific to the needs of students on topics such as function graphs, prime numbers, prime factorization, the Pythagorean Theorem, factorials, absolute values, arithmetic and geometric series, square roots, rational numbers and irrational numbers.
Precalculus

Precalculus

As a Mechanical Engineer, I have had extensive education in mathematics. My tutoring method is to engage students by helping them understand concepts, guiding them while they work through practice problems and encouraging them as they become more independent. I develop lessons specific to the needs of students on topics such as vectors, conic sections (circles, ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas), end behavior of polynomials, inequalities, sequences, exponents, logarithms, synthetic division, and asymptotes of rational functions.

Patient and knowledgeable tutor

Mr Dennis has a knack for explaining complicated math concepts. He is patient, and his friendly manner helps students who are anxious about math. He makes the most of the 60 minute sessions, using every minute for helpful instruction.

Patient and extremely knowledgeable

Dennis has been working with my daughter for quite some time now. He is patient, and kind. He knows exactly how to break down the material and explain it in a way my daughter will understand better, not only helping her improve her grade, but building her confidence too. We are fortunate to have found him.

One of a Kind

Mr. Dry has been helping my son for the past month and half with Geometry. My son is doing very well with grades ranging between A's and B's. My son said he explains the lessons in a way he can understand and shows step by step examples. Mr. Dry is available when needed and will provide additional worksheets for practice. Mr. Dry is helping my son excel considering he went straight into Geometry with no Algebra I background. Thanks Mr. Dry!
