John earned his B.S. in Earth and Environmental Engineering from Columbia, where coursework in thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis overlapped heavily with mechanical engineering fundamentals. He's particularly strong at walking students through free-body diagrams and stress-strain relationships, connecting the math to the physical intuition behind each problem.

Statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics — Sabry's PhD in chemical and biomolecular engineering means he's solved the same problem sets mechanical engineering students are grinding through right now. He teaches the underlying physics and math simultaneously, so students don't just memorize free-body diagram procedures but actually understand why equilibrium equations work and how energy balances connect across systems.
Trevor earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Northeastern with hands-on experience in 3D printing, aerospace concepts, and mechanical design. He digs into the coursework students actually struggle with — free-body diagrams in statics, stress-strain analysis, and CAD modeling in SolidWorks — because he's recently completed those same problem sets himself. That proximity to the material means he knows exactly where confusion tends to build.
Currently pursuing his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, David is immersed in the coursework he tutors — statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and materials science aren't abstract topics for him but active weekly problem sets. He approaches tutoring by walking through free-body diagrams, energy balances, and stress-strain analyses the same way he learned them: one clearly defined step at a time. That proximity to the material means he knows exactly where students tend to get stuck.
As a mechanical engineering student at RIT, Martin is neck-deep in the coursework he tutors — statics, thermodynamics, materials science, and CAD modeling in tools like Autodesk Fusion 360. He's especially strong at translating free-body diagrams and stress analysis problems into step-by-step solutions that make the physics intuitive rather than formula-heavy. Students working through sophomore- and junior-level ME courses get someone who just solved these same problem sets.
I am a Sophomore college student currently studying Mechanical Engineering at Stony Brook University. I strongly encourage and aims to motivate high school students to become leaders in their careers as engineers, expand the idea of engineering as a means of improving the quality of life, and increase the diversity of the engineering profession.
Devin's Master of Mechanical Engineering means he's gone deep on the design, analysis, and manufacturing sides of the discipline — not just the intro courses but the advanced material that trips up upperclassmen. He approaches problems in dynamics, machine design, and heat transfer by grounding them in the physical intuition engineers actually use on the job, connecting equations back to what's physically happening in a system.
Adel earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering and brings deep technical knowledge to topics like stress analysis, fluid mechanics, machine design, and control systems. He breaks down complex derivations into manageable steps, connecting theoretical principles to real engineering applications so students understand not just the math but the physical intuition behind it. Rated 4.8 by students.
I consider mathematics as an essential skill for success in life regardless of one's chosen career. It is a beautiful application of human reasoning to create an understanding of the universe we live in and to admire the incredible technical achievements of mankind. I hope to instill this appreciation for the subject in my students as they build the skills necessary to not only master the techniques and skills of math, but to enjoy and admire how math is used and the geniuses who developed the methods.
As a current mechanical engineering grad student, Aaron is immersed daily in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and solid mechanics — the exact coursework his students are navigating. He tackles problem sets by connecting governing equations to physical intuition, whether that's a free-body diagram for statics or a control volume analysis for fluids. That proximity to the material means he knows which concepts professors emphasize and where students commonly lose points.
Peter is earning his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at Boston University after completing his undergraduate degree at UConn, so he's deep in the material students encounter — statics, dynamics, materials science, and machine design. He connects theoretical coursework to practical engineering analysis, walking through free-body diagrams, stress-strain relationships, and system modeling with the rigor of someone who uses these tools in active research.
As a fourth-year mechanical engineering student at UC Irvine, Alok has completed the full core sequence — statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and machine design. He explains derivations and free-body diagrams the way a classmate who just aced the course would: clearly, with real exam pitfalls called out, and without skipping the steps professors gloss over in lecture.
Adam holds a Master's in Computer-Aided Drafting and Design alongside his biomedical engineering degree, giving him direct experience with the CAD modeling, material selection, and stress analysis that define mechanical engineering coursework. He digs into statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics problems by connecting free-body diagrams and energy balances to the physical systems they represent. Students working through machine design or mechanics of materials get a tutor who's recently navigated those same problem sets.
Currently pursuing his Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Penn, Larkin is deep in the coursework — thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and dynamics — that defines this field. He tackles problem sets alongside his own students, which means his explanations reflect how these concepts are actually tested and applied right now.
Caltech's engineering curriculum gave Brian a rigorous grounding in the physics and math that underpin mechanical engineering — thermodynamics, statics, and the differential equations that govern dynamic systems. His dual background in economics and computer science also means he can approach optimization and modeling problems from an analytical angle that pure ME tutors sometimes skip. He's strongest on the quantitative setup side, helping students translate physical scenarios into solvable equations.
Jeffrey is pursuing his PhD in mechanical engineering at Rice University after completing his undergraduate ME degree at Notre Dame, so he's deeply embedded in the discipline. He tackles core topics like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and machine design with the perspective of someone actively doing research in the field. Students get a tutor who can bridge textbook theory and real engineering analysis.
I am a recent graduate of Princeton University's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department. I am passionate about teaching and mentoring and have done so in multiple capacities over the last four years, including a fellowship during which I taught pre-algebraic math to a group of middle school students from traditionally underserved backgrounds in Saint Paul, MN. I love interacting with students and seeing them grow over the course of their studies. I'm ecstatic at the opportunity to learn alongside them as we venture into educational rabbit holes and uncover key concepts about math, science, and everything else.
Studying mechanical engineering himself, Matthew is close enough to the coursework to remember exactly where statics problems get confusing, why thermodynamics cycles feel abstract, and how to read a free-body diagram that seems to have too many forces. He approaches each topic with the perspective of someone who recently wrestled with the same problem sets. That firsthand experience shows in his 5.0 student rating.
Dr's PhD in Applied Mathematics gives him a particular edge on the analytical side of mechanical engineering — the differential equations governing heat transfer, the linear algebra behind finite element analysis, and the calculus underpinning fluid dynamics. Where many ME tutors focus on physical intuition first, he builds from the math outward, making sure students can actually set up and solve the governing equations before worrying about interpretation. Rated 4.9 by students, he's especially effective for courses where the mathematics is the bottleneck.
