Nick: North Carolina State University tutor
Certified Tutor
Helping others succeed is my goal in life. Not everyone understands everything they learn the first time, and that's why I'm here to help. I just graduated in May of this year with a B.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Arizona State University. I was originally an aerospace engineer before I changed my major to mechanical engineering due to its increased versatility. I moved to Tucson to work as a systems engineering for Raytheon in June 2015. Engineering and tutoring are both equally part of my career to better the world.
I interned at Aviation Communications and Surveillance Systems (ACSS): An L-3 Communications & Thales Company for a year in Phoenix, AZ before I moved to Tucson to work at Raytheon. Some of my passions are aviation, defense, outdoors, mountain biking, hiking, and RC quadcopters. I am originally from Southern California and moved to Arizona in September of 2007.
