Graduate Aeronautical & Electrical Engineer Tutor

Andrew H.

I'm Andrew. I've been tutoring engineering students for over two years. My students are civil, electrical, mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineers. I tutor students from all educational backgrounds - students from community colleges all the way up to ivy league universities. The subjects I tutor include statics, dynamics, electronics, mechanics of materials, fluid and aero mechanics, calculus, engineering design, and all other subjects relating to engineering. In addition to helping students in individual subjects, I prepare students and engineers to take their EIT and PE exams.

My tutoring approach is I have students take a step back and see the larger picture. Too often engineers get too involved with the proverbial nuts and bolts that they lose sight of the larger picture. Try this for size: You're asked to design a jet engine, you jump in and begin designing the compressor, you quickly realize that your compressor isn't outputting the proper airflow to the combustor and your turbine isn't producing the right work and thrust. At this point frustration sets in. In this scenario I ask: What altitude is your engine operating at? What's the combustion temperature? What's the gas egress velocity? These are simply questions that put everything into perspective. This is the same approach I take with civil, chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering subjects and projects.

Currently I'm pursuing two graduate engineering degrees at University of Colorado-Boulder and TU Delft. I passed the EIT certification, which I'd be happy to share. But what students need to know about me is I began learning electrical and aeronautical engineering on my own during a time when I was bed ridden. From spending this time learning everything relating to engineering gave me an advantage in university. Not only has this benefited me, but I'm able to pass this knowledge onto students in an effective and productive manner. Other project experience include designing solid rocket fuel, jet engines, and analog electronics.
