About Brian

Bio

I'm a practicing mechanical engineer and I help one kind of student: engineers preparing for the FE Mechanical exam.

Most FE prep fails for the same reason — students study like it's a college final instead of training like it's a timed, 110-question performance. My sessions are built around the actual exam: we work from the NCEES FE Reference Handbook (the only reference you'll have on test day), drill timed problem sets, and fix the specific weak areas a diagnostic identifies in our...

I'm a practicing mechanical engineer and I help one kind of student: engineers preparing for the FE Mechanical exam.

Most FE prep fails for the same reason — students study like it's a college final instead of training like it's a timed, 110-question performance. My sessions are built around the actual exam: we work from the NCEES FE Reference Handbook (the only reference you'll have on test day), drill timed problem sets, and fix the specific weak areas a diagnostic identifies in our first session.

I also tutor the courses that feed the exam — thermodynamics, heat transfer, statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, and machine design — plus calculus and differential equations.

First session includes a diagnostic assessment and a personalized study plan, so you leave knowing exactly what to work on.

Evening and Saturday availability. Message me with your exam date and I'll tell you honestly whether your timeline is realistic.

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I scored a 5 out of 5 on the AP calculus BC exam my sophomore year of high school. I was a TA for Calculus my junior and senior year. I have tutored calculus at Mathnasium and privately for over 4 years of combined calculus experience. Calculus is arguably my favorite math subject all -time and I feel that every student should have the opportunity to learn it and see how all of their former math classes come together and apply to the real world.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I scored a 5 out of 5 on the AP calculus BC exam my sophomore year of high school, which included differential equations. I was a TA for Calculus my junior and senior year, and I got an A in Calculus 3 and Differential equations my Junior year of High School, and subsequently my freshman year of college. I love teaching differential equations and calculus 3 since they are two of my favorite subjects all-time.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

I am currently working as a mechanical engineer at a manufacturing company helping to update and redesign mechanical equipment. I have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering from BYU and I have taken courses in Fluid Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Electrical Engineering, Statics, Dynamics, Machine Design, CAD, Mechanics of Materials, Sensors, Materials Science, Programming, Manufacturing Processes, and Heat Transfer. I also passed the FE mechanical exam and am certified in Solidworks. I was an engineering intern at a Semiconductor company working on PCB and Arduino applications for automotive companies. I have several years experience teaching engineering as a TA and as a tutor and I love what I do.
Solidworks

Solidworks

I am a CSWA Solidworks associate, meaning that I am qualified in the Solidworks system. I have also taken a course a Solidworks course in college. I have designed robotic parts and a single piston engine assembly in solidworks, to name a few. I love Solidworks and CAD in general and love sharing my passion to others who want to build things as well.

Fantastic tutor

Brian has been exceptional in both lessons we have scheduled. My son is becoming far more competent in the subject matter and feeling more confident. It is a great relief to find someone who can help at this high a level of competency. Thanks again Brian!
