Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Students preparing for the FE Exam most commonly struggle with thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and the mathematics sections—particularly differential equations and calculus applications. Many test-takers also find the breadth requirement challenging, as the exam covers 18 different subject areas, making it difficult to maintain depth in specialized topics while staying current on fundamentals. Personalized tutoring helps by focusing intensive practice on your specific weak areas rather than spending equal time on everything, which is how many students approach self-study.
Time management on the FE Exam requires strategic practice with full-length, timed mock exams—not just topic drills. Many students lose points by spending too long on difficult problems early in the exam, leaving insufficient time for easier questions later. A tutor can help you develop a personalized pacing strategy based on your strengths and weaknesses, teach you which problems to skip strategically, and build stamina through repeated timed practice sessions that simulate actual exam conditions.
The FE Exam allows only the NCEES-approved calculator, and many students waste valuable time navigating unfamiliar calculator functions during the test. Efficient calculator use directly impacts your ability to solve complex engineering calculations quickly—especially in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and electrical circuits where numerical computation is essential. A tutor experienced with FE Exam preparation can teach you advanced calculator techniques, keyboard shortcuts, and problem-solving workflows specific to the approved calculator model, helping you solve problems 30-40% faster than students learning calculator skills on test day.
Many students make the mistake of over-relying on the Reference Handbook during study, only to struggle on exam day because they haven't internalized key formulas and concepts. The most effective approach is to memorize fundamental equations and relationships during tutoring, then use the Handbook strategically to verify less-common formulas or to refresh memory under time pressure. A tutor can guide you on which formulas are essential to know cold versus which ones you can safely look up, and help you practice retrieving information from the Handbook quickly so you're not wasting exam time searching for equations.
The most effective FE Exam tutors are licensed Professional Engineers (PEs) or engineers with extensive industry experience who have recently passed the FE Exam themselves. They should be deeply familiar with the current NCEES exam structure, the approved reference materials, and the specific calculator allowed. Beyond subject expertise, look for tutors who understand common student misconceptions in engineering fundamentals, can diagnose why you're making calculation errors versus conceptual errors, and have experience helping students improve their scores through targeted practice strategies rather than just reviewing content.
The FE Exam requires a strategic balance: you need functional knowledge across all 18 subject areas (breadth) but deeper mastery in your discipline-specific section. Many students waste time achieving expert-level knowledge in topics worth only 2-3 questions while leaving gaps in high-value areas. A tutor can help you allocate study time proportionally based on the official exam specification, identify which breadth topics appear most frequently across exam years, and determine the minimum competency level needed for each area so you can maximize your score within your available study time.
Taking practice exams without strategic review is largely ineffective for FE Exam preparation. The most valuable approach is taking timed full-length exams, then conducting a detailed post-exam analysis where you categorize every missed question as a knowledge gap, a calculation error, a time management issue, or a misreading of the question. A tutor can help you identify patterns in your mistakes—for example, whether you're consistently losing points in specific topics or making careless errors under time pressure—and then create targeted interventions. This diagnostic approach typically yields 5-10 point score improvements per practice exam cycle, whereas students who simply retake exams without analysis see minimal gains.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of focused tutoring before the FE Exam, with noticeable score improvements appearing within 3-4 weeks of consistent, targeted work. However, the timeline depends heavily on your starting point and discipline. Students who begin with strong fundamentals but weak exam strategy often see 15-20 point improvements quickly, while those rebuilding core engineering knowledge may need longer to see results. Working with a tutor helps you establish a realistic timeline based on your diagnostic assessment, identify which topics need the most attention, and maintain momentum through regular progress checkpoints rather than hoping for last-minute breakthroughs.
