"Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning." Prov 9:9

I find few things more satisfying than seeing that lightbulb moment when someone gains insight into a new piece of knowledge. That’s what drives my love for tutoring and inspiring people with confidence to meet challenges!

Throughout my years of school, I always loved forming study groups and teaching others what I knew. While earning my Engineering Degree, I spent most of my time outside of class in study rooms enjoying going over STEM homework and projects with other students. I also started working part time at Mathnasium, a math-only tutoring center. After graduating, I wasn't expecting to be able to turn my love of sharing knowledge into a career and praise God for the direction He’s led my life. Now I’ve been tutoring engineering, physics, and math on Wyzant for over 3 years and over 7 years at Mathnasium teaching elementary through high school math.

My ideal goal is to have every long-term student I tutor end up smarter/faster than I in that subject. I’m very glad to say that during the years I've been tutoring on Wyzant, that goal has been met several times. My teaching method breaks down topics into simple perspectives of "I-get-it!" pieces. I apply teaching principles proven to allow kids to gain understanding in confusing topics to my educating in any level subject at any age and have even taught basic Statics and Dynamics to middle-school students at Mathnasium. I recognize subtle differences in learning styles and use alternative methods to adapt my teaching to each student.

The subjects I tutor are:

•Physics •Statics •Dynamics •Stress & Deformation Analysis (AKA Strength of Materials, Mechanics of Materials, Mechanics of Deformable Bodies) •Basic Fluid Mechanics •Basic Circuits

•Pre-Algebra •Algebra 1 •Algebra 2 •Geometry •Trigonometry •Pre-Calculus •Calculus

And I also assist in understanding Lab Projects and almost anything that uses MS Excel or Google Sheets." less...
