Certified Tutor

I graduated a Dean's Scholar from Clarkson University in May of 2013 with a double major in Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering and two minors in Mathematics and Business. As leader of my aircraft senior design team, aerodynamics design team, and propulsion design team for the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, I have had a great deal of experience in teaching others. I've dealt with mathematics and physics at all levels, ranging in math from algebra and trigonometry to calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra and in physics from projectile motion to fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and aerodynamics.

As leader of several design teams, it was my responsibility to assign tasks to each team member to make sure we produced the most innovative, cost effective, and time efficient design possible. Getting to know the members of the team, it was clear that not everyone was always on the same page. To be a successful team, I knew that we all needed to understand exactly what we needed to do. So, on several occasions, I created brief PowerPoints of the applicable concepts to see where we needed the most work. I printed out relevant text and any sample problems I could find to aid in my teams understanding of the design criteria until we were all comfortable enough to proceed.

Currently, I am employed as a consulting engineer for an engineering firm in Suffolk County, NY. Here, my work varies from preparing estimates to designing traffic signals and roadways and performing construction inspection. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing racquetball, volleyball, soccer, and volunteering at local ministries and outreach events.

As a prospective client, I'd ask that you keep the following in mind: I tutor because I have a commitment to life-long learning. I tutor because I hope that I may be able to help students enjoy learning as much as I do. I believe that the student who is willing to learn is the student who will take the most from what life has to offer. All I ask of you is for your respect and for your effort. With a bit of hard work, I know we will make a difference in what ever we set our minds too!
