I'm a former mechanical engineering professor with over 13 years of combined teaching and tutoring experience. I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and taught at the university level for 3 years, where I developed curriculum and mentored hundreds of students through challenging engineering concepts.

I specialize in one-on-one tutoring for college engineering students, AP-level mathematics and science, and programming. My approach focuses on developing robust problem-solving strategies rather than just memorizing formulas. I teach students how to approach unfamiliar problems systematically and, most importantly, what to do when they get stuck. We work on identifying key information, recognizing problem patterns, and building a toolkit of strategies they can draw from when facing challenging concepts independently. My goal is to transform students from passive learners into confident problem-solvers who can tackle any technical challenge.

I've worked with students ranging from high school AP courses (Calculus, Physics, Computer Science) to graduate-level engineering coursework. My students consistently improve their grades and, more importantly, gain confidence in technical subjects. I specialize in helping students prepare for standardized tests like the GRE and professional engineering exams. Whether you're struggling with calculus concepts, debugging Python code, or preparing for the FE exam, I tailor each session to your specific learning style and goals.

Approved Subjects

MATLAB

MATLAB

I taught introduction to MATLAB for three years to freshman engineering students at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) and integrated MATLAB programming throughout the mechanical engineering curriculum I developed. During my PhD in Aerospace Engineering, I used MATLAB extensively for complex simulations and data analysis for my research. I also applied MATLAB in industry for engineering analysis and problem-solving. My experience spans teaching MATLAB fundamentals to new programmers, advanced engineering applications, data visualization, and simulation development for both academic and professional projects.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

I hold a PhD in Aerospace Engineering with heavy focus on mechanical systems and served as a mechanical engineering professor for 3 years at the college level. I have 12 years of teaching experience including 4 years as an undergraduate tutor, 5 years as a graduate teaching assistant, and 3 years as a professor, plus 3 years of industry mechanical engineering experience. I specialize in helping students develop systematic problem-solving approaches for statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, MATLAB programming, instrumentation, and vibrations analysis.
