About Daniel


Bio

I’m a mechanical engineer with a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering and a Master’s in Engineering Management, with over a decade of experience in project management and 16 years as an officer in the U.S. Air Force. Throughout my career, I’ve applied math and problem-solving in real-world situations, and I know how empowering it can be when students connect the “why” behind the numbers. That same clarity and confidence is what I aim to bring to every tutoring session.

I’m a mechanical engineer with a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering and a Master’s in Engineering Management, with over a decade of experience in project management and 16 years as an officer in the U.S. Air Force. Throughout my career, I’ve applied math and problem-solving in real-world situations, and I know how empowering it can be when students connect the “why” behind the numbers. That same clarity and confidence is what I aim to bring to every tutoring session.

My tutoring experience comes from years of working one-on-one with my homeschooled children as well as other young adult students. I focus on breaking down complex concepts into simple, relatable steps that help students build lasting understanding and confidence. Beyond math, I also mentor students in public speaking and communication, helping them develop skills to express themselves clearly and confidently at all levels. I enjoy providing guidance on career and goal planning, helping students see the bigger picture and connect their learning to future opportunities.

I tutor all levels of math, from basic arithmetic through calculus, and tailor my approach to each student’s learning style. Parents and students can expect a structured yet supportive environment where progress feels achievable. My goal is to make learning not only understandable but meaningful, helping each student gain confidence, enjoy the process, and develop skills they can carry far beyond the classroom.

Career Development

Career Development

I have over 16 years of experience mentoring enlisted personnel and officers in the U.S. Air Force, helping individuals ages 18–30+ set and achieve their career goals both within and outside the military. I also provide guidance to my own teenage and young adult children as they explore career paths, giving me insight into both early and mid-career planning. With a strong understanding of what it takes to succeed in a variety of fields, I help students clarify their goals, explore opportunities, and develop actionable plans for professional growth. My approach combines personalized coaching, practical advice, and long-term strategy to help individuals reach their full potential.
Homeschool

Homeschool

I have several years of hands-on experience homeschooling my own children across multiple grade levels, with a strong focus on math, critical thinking, and practical application of core concepts. Through this experience, I’ve developed an adaptable teaching style that meets each child’s unique learning pace and personality. I emphasize understanding over rote memorization, creating lessons that connect academic material to real-world problem-solving. This background has given me a deep appreciation for individualized education and the patience and flexibility required to help students grow confidently in their studies.
Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook

I have used Microsoft Outlook extensively in a professional setting for nearly 16 years, managing email, calendars, scheduling, and task coordination on a daily basis. My experience spans both individual productivity and team collaboration, helping users streamline workflows and stay organized. I can guide students in mastering Outlook’s features, from basic email management to advanced tools for scheduling, reminders, and task tracking. My goal is to help learners become confident and efficient in using Outlook for professional or personal purposes.
Project Management

Project Management

I have over 16 years of project management experience in the U.S. Air Force, leading a wide variety of initiatives including construction projects, major decision briefings, program management, and event planning such as retirement ceremonies. I have completed graduate-level courses and multiple project management bootcamps, and I am well-versed in PMBOK standards and PMI principles. I help students understand the full lifecycle of project management, from planning and execution to communication and stakeholder engagement. My approach combines practical experience with structured methodology to help learners gain the skills and confidence needed to manage projects successfully in any professional setting.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

With over 16 years of service in the U.S. Air Force, where I currently hold the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, I’ve developed extensive experience in public speaking and professional communication. My career has required presenting complex information to diverse audiences — from senior leaders to large teams — with clarity, confidence, and purpose. I’ve led countless briefings, trainings, and strategic discussions, refining my ability to engage, inform, and motivate others under pressure. This experience has shaped my approach to public speaking as both an art and a discipline, rooted in preparation, presence, and authenticity.
Real Estate

Real Estate

I am a licensed real estate agent in Montana with hands-on experience owning and managing investment properties, including single-family homes and multi-unit rentals. I also actively engage in house flipping, which has provided me with practical expertise in property evaluation, renovation planning, and strategic financial decision-making. These experiences have sharpened my problem-solving skills and taught me how to navigate complex, real-world situations with confidence and precision. I bring this knowledge into my teaching and mentoring, helping students or clients understand concepts through practical, real-life examples and fostering analytical thinking and decision-making skills.
