If you’re struggling with Calculus or Physics, I can help you turn confusion into clarity. I’m a Ph.D. researcher in Mechanical Engineering at Texas Tech University, where I use applied mechanics, thermodynamics, and advanced mathematics every day in both research and teaching.

I’ve spent over three years tutoring students from middle school through university, and I previously served as a Supplemental Instructor for Higher Mathematics for Engineers & Scientists I, leading weekly sessions of 30–40 students. These sessions focused on building strong conceptual understanding and giving students the tools they needed to solve real-world problems with confidence.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

ACT Math rewards speed and decision-making, not perfection. I work with students to strengthen their core algebra, geometry, and function reasoning skills while building smart shortcuts and time-saving techniques. With a focused strategy, students can greatly improve pacing and accuracy — unlocking higher section scores.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I specialize in helping students build strong foundational algebra skills that support success in all later math courses. As a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. student, I use clear explanations and real-world examples to make abstract concepts feel intuitive. I work at the student’s pace to ensure confidence with equations, graphing, word problems, and logical reasoning. My goal is for students to not only improve grades — but to truly understand why the math works.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 is the turning point where math starts to feel less like steps and more like systems — and I love helping students make that shift. I guide learners through functions, polynomial behavior, logarithms, radicals, and introductory trigonometry with clarity and patience. As a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. student, I connect complex ideas to practical meaning so students gain confidence solving unfamiliar problems. My priority is helping them move from memorizing procedures to recognizing patterns and thinking mathematically.
Calculus

Calculus

Calculus is the language of change, and I enjoy helping students finally see why derivatives and integrals work—not just how to compute them. I recently began tutoring Calculus at the college level, and I draw from my strong engineering background where these concepts are applied constantly. I specialize in breaking down limits, differentiation rules, optimization, related rates, and foundational integration into clear processes that make sense step-by-step. My goal is to replace confusion with confidence so students can succeed through both the conceptual and computational sides of Calculus.
Geometry

Geometry

Geometry is the basis of mathematical visualization and is therefore the key to unlocking the bridge between abstract mathematics and applicable mathematics. Euclidean, Pythagorean, Trigonometry, and even Calculus are all based in this core course. As someone who regularly used C.A.D. and creates abstract shapes in space for engineering design, I am fully capable of tutoring for this course.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

As a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. student conducting research in structural mechanics and advanced manufacturing, I work with real engineering systems every day. I help students connect core concepts — such as forces, materials, motion, and energy — to the equations and models used in class. My tutoring is focused on building problem-solving confidence through clear physical reasoning, visualization, and step-by-step breakdowns. Whether you’re struggling with statics, stress analysis, or engineering fundamentals, I can help you translate the theory into engineering intuition.
Physics

Physics

Physics makes so much more sense when the math is tied directly to the motion and forces we see in real life. As a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. student, I work with Newton’s laws, energy, momentum, and rotational motion constantly in my research and coursework. I help students translate word problems into clean diagrams and step-by-step solutions, so they can understand why the answer is correct — not just plug numbers into equations.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

Experienced math tutor supporting both middle and high school students. I specialize in helping students who feel stuck or anxious by breaking concepts into simple, understandable steps. Reliable, patient, and committed to their progress.
Precalculus

Precalculus

Precalculus is where students start thinking like future calculus learners—analyzing functions, transforming trigonometry into power tools, and recognizing patterns beneath the algebra. As a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. student who tutors at the college level, I help students build a strong foundation in trigonometry, limits-style reasoning, conics, and exponential/logarithmic behavior. My sessions focus on intuition and pattern recognition so solving tough problems feels natural rather than overwhelming. By strengthening the right skills here, students enter Calculus with real confidence—not fear.
SAT Math

SAT Math

SAT Math isn’t about doing more problems — it’s about doing the right ones efficiently. I help students identify the patterns the SAT reuses, build quick recognition skills, and apply simple strategies that avoid the common traps. My approach focuses on clarity, confidence, and maximizing score gains without stress.
Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics becomes far more manageable when ideas like energy transfer, heat, and equilibrium are grounded in physical intuition rather than memorized equations. I have a strong academic background in thermodynamics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and I have tutored multiple college students through the course — including one who raised their performance from struggling at the edge of failing to earning an A within just a few weeks. I focus on step-by-step clarity with the First and Second Laws, state properties, PV-relations, cycles, and problem-solving strategies so students can apply the material confidently and independently.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

Trigonometry tends to feel abstract until the relationships finally “click,” and I love guiding students to that moment. As a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. student, I use clear visual reasoning and real applications to help students master trig identities, unit circle logic, and function behavior. My goal is to turn frustration into confidence so students can approach every trig problem with a reliable strategy.

Great teacher and very patient!

It has been a pleasure working with Andrew in Thermodynamics and I would highly recommend him for anyone needing assistance!

Jonathan, 12 lessons with Andrew

Ch. 14 Gas Mixtures

For this session Andrew explained to me all about ch. 14 and how gas mixture problems work and hot predictable they are.

prep for Exam 2

Today, Andrew helped me go over a textbook chapter 12 ideal gas argon turbine problem. He also shared a new analysis process to keep track of all my work. This process can be used to solve any Thermo problem. 1. System, 2. Sketch, 3. Assumptions, 4. Physical laws, 5. Properties, and 6. Calculations

Example Problems for Test

Today, I went over an Otto cycle and Brayton cycle with Andrew. Due to the challenging nature of the problems and hitting some road blocks we weren’t able to fully complete the Otto cycle problem but Andrew explained its process and what to analyze. Then we moved onto the Brayton cycle for the remainder of the session

Great Breakdown

We had a great session today! We worked on a hw problem from last session. We analyzed why we got it wrong and came to the solution!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Andrew was quickly able to understand exactly what my son needed to work on in Algebra and diagnose what was causing him difficulty. He was encouraging and made it clear that this was a solvable issue.
