"Hello! My name is Charles. Math, Physics and Engineering are my main areas and I have a solid record of success helping students as a tutor. Many have improved by two grade points. My doctoral degree is in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech where I won a prestigious award from ASME for my dissertation work. I am patient, easy going and enjoy helping students succeed. My experience includes having had the privilege to teach a number of ME classes: Thermodynamics, System Dynamics, Heat Transfer, Vibrations. I have also taught Fluid Mechanics including Fluid Dynamics, Statics and Senior Lab and tutored extensively in Quantum Mechanics, Differential Equations, PDE's i.e. Partial Differential Equations, Calculus including Vector Calculus, Statistics and Statistical Mechanics.

Over my years of tutoring experience, I have found that the path to best results is to help the student with strategies for thinking and problem solving. An important aspect of this is to help the student to break down the subject at hand into simpler concepts, which in turn enables the student to better grasp ideas and work practice problems. With my knowledge and experience, I am able to lead the student to an understanding of the main concepts and techniques of a challenging topic, while helping the student avoid the pitfalls.

I look forward to helping you!" less...
