"I'm Guy, but you can call me Zac if you want. I'm a civil engineering (structural) EI specializing in the design of cold-formed steel framing and cladding. I have a bachelor's in civil engineering, minoring in secondary education. My experience tutoring has been largely focused on ACT prep, though I've helped college students and high schoolers through homework and projects.

For my minor, I taught in a classroom setting for elementary, middle, and high schoolers, but the majority of my experience has been tutoring-specific. In college, I tutored a few dozen STEM majors through many classes in our major, and outside of my college experience I've tutored at the high school level for ACT prep and other STEM subjects. I've even tutored for grammar and English

My methodology changes depending on the student and subject, but I favor a concept-driven approach. I believe most students struggle with these subjects because many schools teach with a mechanics-first perspective. Instead, I encourage students to consider every question to be a puzzle. These subjects aren't esoteric: When you have a clear idea of what solution you're looking for and how to take the given information to its logical conclusion, you develop confidence and purpose.

I'd love for you to contact me with any questions about the subjects I teach, and I take active effort in making time to respond. Whether you're wanting to get ahead of your peers, catch up in your work, or have an academic emergency--I'm here." less...
