I am a current Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering student. I have always loved learning and helping others and have had a special love for math and science I hope to help others foster as well.

I am a rising second-year undergraduate student pursuing a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, with plans to earn a Master's degree in Power Systems Engineering. I have a strong passion for mathematics, science, and problem-solving, and my academic experiences have helped me develop the ability to break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps. Through my coursework, I have learned how to approach challenging material with patience and analytical thinking while adapting explanations to fit different learning styles. As a tutor, my goal is not only to help students understand difficult concepts and improve academically, but also to build their confidence, critical-thinking skills, and ability to solve problems independently. I hope to share the knowledge, study habits, and enthusiasm for learning that have contributed to my own success and help students achieve their academic goals.
I'm a hardworking and passionate mechanical engineering student with enough math skills to provide efficient tutoring in a variety math of subjects.
I'm a graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) with degrees in Environmental and Mechanical Engineering and Physics. Originally born and raised on the east coast, Texas is now my home and I have been in the Houston area for the past five years working as a full time engineer in oil and gas. I have two years of experience tutoring high school level math and I'm in the process of a career switch to teaching higher education. I am qualified to tutor most levels of math, math test prep, and physics. I believe every student has what it takes to succeed and I'm excited to help them achieve their goals. Feel free to reach out with questions!
My job is to become unemployed. I want my students to eventually learn and grow without needing me. My goal isn't just to help students master material - it's to teach them how to learn, how to think independently, and how to build confidence in their own problem-solving abilities. I've taught and mentored students across a wide range of subjects - from middle school math and SAT prep to calculus, finance, and investments. My experience spans middle schoolers, high school and college students, as well as informal mentorship of peers and younger professionals navigating academic or career goals. Outside the classroom, I've worked in accounting and as a business analyst at a renewable energy investment firm, giving me firsthand insight into how academic concepts and core skills translate into real-world value. Whether we're breaking down functions, prepping for standardized tests, or unpacking financial topics (I'm FINRA Series 66, Series 63 & SIE certified), I focus on demystifying complexity and making learning approachable. With the right approach, I believe even calculus can be taught to a middle schooler.
I'm a graduate Mechanical Engineer from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. It wasn't all smooth sailing. My years at grade school and high school were really difficult for me. The mediocre school system in my town left me woefully unprepared for college. I had to put in an intensive year and a summer at a private school, catching up to my peers. The hardest task was learning to study. After a couple of years as an English major, I changed to my true love, Engineering. That's when I discovered that my photographic memory sometimes played tricks on me, which made it hard to get the right answers. I want to save my students from the agony of unnecessary failure.While employed as a machine tool builder, I learned that high-school and middle-school children in town were interested in radio and electronics. We promptly formed a club, cannibalizing old TV sets for parts. I helped guide these energetic kids to earn their amateur radio licenses. We had a great time getting on the air, sometimes from campsites with portable power. What they learned about math, electronics, and physics gave them a big head start when they hit similar courses in school.I was active in the Navy Reserves for more than 23 years, retiring as a Chief Petty Officer Cryptologic Technician. The Navy gave me valuable insight into teaching a wide range of students. Many needed assistance in math in order to master military and technical subjects. I helped them with that.I have held an Amateur Radio License since 1955, am now an Extra Class Licensee, and an accredited Instructor and Volunteer Examiner with the ARRL. While teaching licensing classes, I was amazed to discover that many smart people had forgotten basic math. I try to correct that, encouraging my students to understand and attempt the simpler mathematical operations. It must have worked - almost all of my students have become licensed.My early interests in photography, canoeing, camping, and hiking have now been supplanted by my love of computers. I have built many computers and done innumerable installations and configurations. I'm currently experimenting with micro-computers and their application to Amateur Radio and emergency operations.My teaching philosophy wants to encourage the "Why", not just the "How" of the subject. Understanding is lots more fun than just turning the crank. I seek an alternate path to understanding if the student finds the first approach difficult. I once read: there are several ways to get on the other side of a stone wall: Climb over, crawl under, or go around. You could even use my favorite approach: Take it apart, go through the hole!My job is to help you conquer that wall.
After receiving my Bachelor's degree in Physics from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, I accepted an Instructor position in the School of Information at the University of Arizona to begin my career in teaching. The following year, I taught math and science as teacher at a local charter school through the 2016-2017 academic school year. At the end of my first year of teaching high school, I decided to return to UA to continue my graduate-level education and to pursue a career in Medical Physics.My favorite subjects to teach and tutor are all levels of algebra, calculus, physics, and biology. Patience, communication, and empathy are central to my teaching philosophy and are key skills for any successful teacher, and with the right toolkit, anyone can learn and master a subject. I believe students tend to find these technical subjects difficult due to simple misunderstandings and gaps, or due to a lack of descriptive visual tools to help the student envision complex problems and ideas, which is particularly important in STEM topics. Additionally, one-on-one time with the student is invaluable to helping the student and being able to precisely pinpoint any confusion, misunderstandings, or question-asking anxieties that students often face in a full classroom.
I am a graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I received a Bachelors of Science in Actuarial Mathematics. I have always enjoyed math, participating in problem solving competitions from 4th grade through Senior year of High School. In my math classes I made a point of helping out classmates who were having trouble understanding the concepts. I find it very rewarding to help people better understand math, a subject that I enjoy so much. I am an Eagle Scout and in my free time I enjoy Hiking, Camping, and playing Video Games. I also enjoy swimming and sailing, when I have the opportunity.
I recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a MS in Electrical Engineering. Before that, I attended Worcester Polytechnic Institute where I obtained a BS in Electrical & Computer Engineering. I currently work for an industry-leading designer and manufacturer of integrated circuits where I deal with radio-frequency communication devices for use in a broad array of applications.I specialize in teaching the areas of math, science and also some low-level computer programming topics. I have been involved with organizing and leading many review and study groups throughout college. I am passionate about finding the right method to help the student master their subject matter. My goal, outside of just helping someone with their material, is to develop strong problem-solving skills and habits that can be applied to their future work. I think my approachable communication style as well my desire to see their understanding 'click' with a student make me a great tutor.Outside of my full-time job and tutoring I enjoy golfing, snowboarding, playing guitar and hanging with my family and friends.
I have 38+ Years experience teaching and tutoring Math courses in middle school, high school and college. I believe all students can learn and enjoy math, but it depends on how you teach them.
I am a graduate from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a Master of Science in Systems Engineering. I received my B.A. in Mass Communications in Capital University of Economics and Business in Beijing, China. I can speak both English and Chinese fluently. I have tutoring experiences in teaching both English and Chinese. I have taught Chinese to the foreigners who traveled to Beijing. My students ages were varied from 17 to 55. After I moved to the U.S. I have taught Chinese to children from age 6 to age 12. I designed Chinese teaching materials based on the students' pace and improvement after each class. I like to Chinese as a language as well as its culture. I also input Systems Thinking methodology to my teaching plans and philosophies.
My name is Diana and I fell in love with math and science about ten years ago; that plus becoming the biggest fan of Tony Stark (Iron Man) led me to become an engineer and I haven't looked back since! I tutored when I was an undergraduate in college for college level physics and calculus. I've always enjoyed teaching and tutoring whether it's by helping a student step by step or helping them to come up with a creative solution. Now, as a professional I participate in STEM outreach programs to advocate for students from underrepresented demographics to pursue engineering. I take pride in my education and career, which is why it's important to me to be able to share my passion with others.
