Hi! I’m Owen—a mechanical engineering student at BYU who’s always been fueled by curiosity. My love for French began early, when my great-grandfather—also a mechanical engineer—taught me French nursery rhymes as a child. He also spent years building a working sailboat in his backyard, and I spent countless hours watching and helping him, asking questions and learning how things fit together. Those moments sparked a deep love for both language and engineering. I believe great teachers don’t...
Hi! I’m Owen—a mechanical engineering student at BYU who’s always been fueled by curiosity. My love for French began early, when my great-grandfather—also a mechanical engineer—taught me French nursery rhymes as a child. He also spent years building a working sailboat in his backyard, and I spent countless hours watching and helping him, asking questions and learning how things fit together. Those moments sparked a deep love for both language and engineering. I believe great teachers don’t just explain—they inspire. My goal is to help students discover that same excitement in subjects like French, calculus, and physics.
Those early interests helped me thrive academically. I graduated high school as valedictorian with a 36 STEM ACT composite score and earned 5s on multiple AP exams, including AP Calculus AB & BC, AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, and AP French Language and Culture. I was honored with department awards in both French and drama during my school’s senior honors ceremony.
Beyond academics, I have extensive experience teaching students of all ages. I’ve tutored my four younger siblings for years—most recently helping my sister stay on track in algebra during the pandemic. I also spent several summers teaching swim lessons to kids ages 3–12 and served as a year-round TA in my AP French class, where I helped peers with grammar, pronunciation, and confidence in conversation.
I specialize in algebra, calculus, physics, and French, and I tailor every lesson to the student’s needs. If you're preparing for an AP exam, we’ll work through FRQs and build a focused strategy. If you’re here to grow your understanding, I offer engaging lessons that combine discussion, lecture, and practice. For language learners, I incorporate speaking sessions alongside grammar instruction to build fluency. Whether you need some homework help, want to ace a test, get ahead in class, or just explore subjects more deeply, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
