After receiving my Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and my Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University, I spent the next 15 years in the Engineering industry, working as a Heat Transfer Design Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, and Project Manager. Throughout my college years, and shortly afterwards, I tutored several students in subject areas of math and physics. For me, there is nothing more personally rewarding that seeing the mental "light bulb" turn on in a students eyes when they grasp a difficult concept for the first time. My tutoring philosophy is to teach concepts, rather than focusing on memorization. Concepts are best grasped via a methodical, logical, and consistent approach to problem solving. As such, my favorite subjects to tutor are most math classes (elementary math, all algebra levels, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, statistics); and science classes (physical science, physics and astronomy). I am also available to tutor Mechanical and Industrial Engineering courses. Some of my personal hobbies include playing golf, collecting coins, astronomy and astrophotography, and stock trading. I look forward to helping you or your child excel in the classroom!
