About Ryan

Bio

Math doesn’t have to be confusing—I make it make sense. I’m a Chemical Engineering graduate from North Carolina A&T State University (Dean’s List, GPA 3.51) and have over five years of experience tutoring Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Calculus. As a Lead Facilitator in the university’s Engineering Department, I led weekly tutoring sessions for students navigating advanced mathematics, creating an engaging, non-judgmental space where they could build confidence and truly understand the “why”...

Math doesn’t have to be confusing—I make it make sense. I’m a Chemical Engineering graduate from North Carolina A&T State University (Dean’s List, GPA 3.51) and have over five years of experience tutoring Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Calculus. As a Lead Facilitator in the university’s Engineering Department, I led weekly tutoring sessions for students navigating advanced mathematics, creating an engaging, non-judgmental space where they could build confidence and truly understand the “why” behind the math—not just the steps.

What sets me apart is my ability to bridge classroom learning with real-world application. In my role as a Process Engineer, I use math and data analysis daily to make decisions and drive improvements, and I’m also highly skilled in Microsoft Excel—automating reports, building dashboards, and using pivot tables, formulas, and VBA to turn raw data into clear insights. This unique combination lets me show students how math connects to tangible tools and outcomes used in engineering, business, and analytics. Whether you’re working to strengthen fundamentals, achieve a higher grade, or gain a deeper appreciation for how math fits into life’s bigger picture, I meet students where they are and guide you with patience, clarity, and real-world experience.

I’ve took college algebra and passed with an 98.5%
Basketball

Basketball

I help players level up their game by teaching fundamentals like shooting, dribbling, and court awareness while also focusing on confidence and teamwork. I have over a decade of playing experience, including AAU and four years of high school basketball, giving me a strong foundation in the game. I’ve coached and personally trained players ranging from 3rd graders to professional athletes, including those who have played overseas, and I’ve trained alongside Justin Bowen, a former D-League player for the San Antonio Spurs. My sessions are interactive, fun, and tailored to each player’s goals—whether mastering fundamentals or excelling in-game. Players leave my sessions more skilled, confident, and excited to play.
Calculus

Calculus

I’ve passed calculus for engineering with a 98.5%
Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering

I have comprehensive academic training across the full chemical engineering core, including material and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, reaction engineering, process dynamics and control, and process design. My experience includes applying numerical methods, statistical analysis, and computer-aided simulation tools such as MATLAB and Aspen Plus to analyze, model, and optimize chemical processes. Through multiple laboratory and capstone design courses, I conducted open-ended experiments, designed chemical processes and reactors, evaluated equipment performance, and communicated results through formal technical reports and presentations. I also have focused experience in process safety, environmental considerations, and engineering economics, emphasizing safe, efficient, and data-driven engineering solutions.
Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel

I have 5+ years of experience using Microsoft Excel in both professional and academic settings, including my work as a Process Engineer. I have basic Excel skills fully mastered, and I specialize in automating reports, creating pivot tables and charts, and making complex data easy to understand. I’ve delivered professional presentations and sent automated reports to managers daily, helping teams make faster, data-driven decisions. I enjoy teaching Excel in a practical, step-by-step way, empowering students to confidently analyze and present their own data.

Very Helpful

Ryan breaks down the material and makes it easy for my son to understand. He got a 90 on his Calculus quiz after just one session, after struggling on his own to learn the material.
