Hello! My name is Dustin, and I have a passion for learning and helping others realize their potential. Throughout school and during my engineering career, tutoring and mentoring others have gone hand-in-hand with my own growth. I strongly believe in giving back when you can, and that is why I am thrilled to be here.
While pursuing my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (2013), I worked for three years in a tutoring center supporting students ages 17–50 in arithmetic through Calculus III, as well as pre- and calculus-based physics. I also provided one-on-one tutoring for a high school student in AP Calculus BC and a college student taking Calculus I & II. These experiences strengthened both my technical understanding and my ability to adapt to different learning styles.
More recently, I have continued tutoring across a wide range of ages and goals. In 2025, I supported a high school AP Physics student and a college student rebuilding algebra skills as she returns to school to pursue a new degree, using IXL to reinforce fundamentals and track progress. In 2026, I tutored two 6th grade students, one 4th grade student, and a college student in algebra-based physics. I also have experience working with students with ADHD and autism, and I strive to adjust pacing and communication, so each student feels comfortable and supported.
As a nuclear test engineer (2013–2023), I mentored engineers-in-training preparing for milestone oral examinations and provided guidance on technical and professional topics including fluid systems, heat transfer, and system design.
My core tutoring principles remain consistent: learning can feel vulnerable, so I prioritize listening and patience. I communicate honestly, approach challenges with humility, and encourage students to take the lead whenever possible so they build confidence and independence. My goal is not only to help students solve today’s problems, but to equip them with skills and confidence that last well beyond our sessions.
