I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

Hey! I'm a senior Mechanical Engineering student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, attending for my Masters. I've had some amazing teachers for my science and math classes growing up, and that's what drove me to study engineering. I've also had some pretty bad teachers as well, so I know what it's like to feel totally lost and frustrated in a subject. My goal here is to make the hard subjects easy, and inspire you to be bolder when encountering tough problems in the future.

As for the specific subjects, Mechanical Engineering at RPI requires you to be a 'Jack of All Trades'. Almost every subject from high school could be used on a day-to-day basis, which helps keep a lot of that material fresh. I'm happy to help with Physics, Algebra, AP Math/Science/English, Economics, as well as any other regents or accelerated class you might have issues with.

Outside of school I like to go on hikes, work on different coding projects, cook, fly drones, and play Fortnite. My passions are physics, controls-systems, drones, and renewable energy. Looking forward to helping you out. Thanks!
