About Me

I'm a professional engineer by day and tutor, well, all the time. My day job requires me to interact daily with non-engineers and to constantly recall my schooling. Consequently, I love to explain facts in an understandable and interesting way. Many people have told me that I am a natural teacher because I am a natural learner. My profession and education as an engineer challenges me to learn new things every day and to figure out how things work. I graduated Columbia University (Master's Mech. Engineering) and The Cooper Union (Bachelor's Mech. Engineering) both with a 3.9 GPA so I know what it's like to study hard and excel in rigorous programs. One important way I got through my college and graduate school was to teach and be taught by others. This is why I love tutoring. Tutoring to me is more than just giving the answers. It's about imparting a mindset of working hard until you can solve the problem. It's about finding out WHY the answer is right and understanding the answer well enough to able to teach it to someone else. I want my students to know that hard work makes you a better person and that it's fun to learn new things; and I'm just here to show you how to do that.

Q&A with Eric

My teaching style is casual yet professional. I like to teach at the pace of the student, but reach for goals that we set together. My philosophy is to try to relate to the student and make the subject understandable any way that I can.
