Owen: Reading tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm a recent Masters level graduate from Boston University with a degree in Systems Engineering. Having spent the last 6 years of my life pursuing a degree in a notoriously math heavy field, I've developed an intimate understanding of the hurdles many classes throw at students. With that understanding, I aim to apply my experience to meet my students where they're at. That means breaking down problems, working through examples, and using my previous experience to avoid common pitfalls. I'm well versed in engineering topics up to the college level, with a particular appreciation for Statistics and modeling related subjects as I've found they relate the most to my own strengths.

All that combined, I've had great experiences tutoring my peers during college and younger students during summer camps. I love sharing my passions of math and science with others and look forward to bringing that enthusiasm to our sessions!

Hobbies

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy painting miniatures. The process is slow and meticulous, but it’s a great exercise in focus, patience, and precision. Nothing quite compares to the feeling of investing multiple days working on a project to finally get that sense of a job well done. I’m also drawn to 3D printing, especially designing small tools that solve everyday problems. It’s a satisfying blend of creativity and engineering logic. Both hobbies challenge me to think carefully, work deliberately, and stay engaged with the details—qualities I value just as much when helping students work through complex ideas.
