Bio

Helping students build confidence and achieve tangible results in their academic and professional lives is my primary focus. I am a professional tutor with over ten years of experience, and both a Mechanical Engineer with 15 years experience and a certified Project Management Professional (PMP). My own academic journey was shaped by a strong command of math and science, including a perfect 800 on the SAT Math section, a 35 on ACT Math, and a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam.

Helping students build confidence and achieve tangible results in their academic and professional lives is my primary focus. I am a professional tutor with over ten years of experience, and both a Mechanical Engineer with 15 years experience and a certified Project Management Professional (PMP). My own academic journey was shaped by a strong command of math and science, including a perfect 800 on the SAT Math section, a 35 on ACT Math, and a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam. These achievements reflect my ability to deconstruct complex, intimidating concepts into understandable lessons for my students.

Over the past ten years, I have worked with hundreds of students ranging from middle schoolers and high school students to college engineering majors and working professionals. My experience is primarily rooted in one-on-one instruction, which allows me to provide the personalized attention that a traditional classroom setting often lacks. I specialize in helping students navigate the challenging courses in engineering, such as Calculus, Physics, and Statics, as well as helping professionals master technical tools like Microsoft Excel, Project Management, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD). I am particularly proud of the long-term relationships I build with my clients; supporting them through multiple years of their education.

My tutoring methodology is centered on building a conceptual foundation rather than just memorizing formulas. I believe that once a student understands the "why" behind a problem, the "how" becomes much easier to master. Whether I am helping a high schooler boost their SAT score or coaching a professional through PMP certification, my goal is to foster independent problem-solving skills. I am available for both online lessons and in-person tutoring in the Nashville area, and I look forward to helping you reach your goals.
