As a graduate in engineering, I bring a unique blend of firsthand knowledge and tutoring experience to my role as a math tutor. Having mastered a broad range of engineering subjects, both as a student and a tutor, I am well-equipped and eager to help students overcome their challenges and excel in mathematics.
I have held my passion for mathematics since middle school and after graduating from the University of Florida with bachelors in both mechanical and aerospace engineering, my passion for tutoring was sparked when I worked as a TA for the thermal laboratory helping students run experiments, obtain data, and critiquing their work.
Most of my expertise is in the harder math topics such as statics, dynamics, and controls, however I wish to enforce the fundamentals with my students to make sure they get the basics down before pursuing the more challenging subjects. Normally, I have had the most success in tutoring by locating the root of the misunderstanding and clearing up any misconceptions in the topics being taught. My approach is based on inquiry and assessment.
In pursuing my degrees in engineering I have always loved math and science and saw engineering as the point where they both meet. From working with matrices in linear algebra to differential equations, I have always loved learning new concepts that can be explained mathematically. One experience I had was working with a rocket design team where I learned about concepts way outside the class room like nozzle design and igniter design. I enjoy learning about the designs of spacecraft, while at the same time appreciating the ingenuity behind them.
