I am a patient, knowledgeable former college instructor and engineer with a strong passion for learning and teaching. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, graduating summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA, and I have several years of experience teaching and mentoring undergraduate students. I also have several years of formal teaching and tutoring experience across middle school, high school, and early college levels. I am a licensed Professional Engineer with over five years of experience working as a structural design engineer on building projects, which allows me to connect academic concepts to real-world applications in a clear and meaningful way.

I provide tutoring for the FE Civil Exam and a wide range of civil and structural engineering courses, including Statics, Strength of Materials, Structural Analysis, Steel Design, Reinforced Concrete Design, Structural Dynamics, and Tall Building Design. My experience includes one-on-one and online tutoring, and I focus on breaking down complex, technical topics into manageable steps so students can build confidence and long-term understanding. Each session is tailored to the student’s goals, learning style, and areas of difficulty.

I enjoy making challenging subjects more approachable and strive to create a supportive, encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and working through unfamiliar material. I have consistently excelled in math, physics, and engineering throughout high school and college, graduating as valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA in high school, which helps me relate to students facing rigorous coursework and high academic expectations.
I offer flexible online tutoring sessions and welcome the opportunity to discuss your goals, specific topics, or sample problems in advance so I can personalize each lesson. Whether you are preparing for an exam, strengthening foundational skills, or tackling advanced engineering concepts, I am committed to helping you achieve clarity, confidence, and academic success.
