Engineering Student Math Tutor | Algebra, Geometry, Calculus & Te

Theresa K.

I am currently a Civil and Environmental Engineering student in the College of Engineering at Villanova University, where I maintain a strong academic record in rigorous, math-intensive coursework. My engineering studies require a deep understanding of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and applied problem-solving, which I use daily in classes involving physics, structural analysis, and engineering design. This background allows me to explain mathematical concepts clearly while also helping students understand why the math works, not just how to apply formulas.

My teaching experience comes from working one-on-one with peers and younger students in both academic and informal settings, where I focus on breaking down complex ideas into manageable steps. I prioritize clarity, patience, and adaptability, adjusting my approach based on how each student learns best. I have experience working with middle school, high school, and introductory college-level students, helping them build confidence in subjects such as algebra, pre-calculus, and calculus. My approach emphasizes strong fundamentals, guided practice, and real-world examples to reinforce understanding.

Through my academic research work and engineering internships, I have also developed strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical material accurately and accessibly. Whether tutoring online or in one-on-one sessions, my goal is to help students feel supported, capable, and confident in their math skills while developing problem-solving strategies they can use independently in class and on exams.
