Mechanical Engineering is one of my top subjects!

I encourage students to question problem solving methods in order to understand the fundamentals. After an explanation of the material I often follow up with several example problems to help students test their mastery of the subject. I do not emphasize memorizing equations, because students do not learn about the physical phenomena by memorization. I also explain to students study techniques that have worked well for me in the past. I work well with both individuals and small groups.
I am a senior undergraduate student enrolled at Georgia Tech. My major is nuclear and radiological engineering, but i have experience in the fields of mechanical and civil engineering. I am most experienced in the subjects of mathematics, radiation physics, and electromagnetics including: algebra (I and II), trigonometry, differential equations, calculus 1 and 3, reactor physics, radiation protection/ ... read more

My goal in teaching is to ensure that my students have a strong understanding of the subject and do not just follow a formula or recite rote knowledge. In addition to explaining concepts, I like to use models and present example problems with which the student can demonstrate his grasp of the topic. If one explanation does not make sense to a student, I try different ones until it finally "clicks". I am a patient instructor and bring an enthusiastic attitude to teaching, since I've found through experience that the best teachers are those who communicate excitement and interest.
I am a graduate student in materials science at UC San Diego, and a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I have a broad and thorough understanding of math and physics, and to a lesser degree in chemistry and biology, as well as in more specialized ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a retired teacher, middle school, high school and district office administrator. I have worked with supplemental providers in my past position as Director of Curriculum and Instruction (Ed. Services). I presently sub for Palm Springs Unified in a k-12 capacity. I can tutor in all elementary and middle school subjects and in math through high school geometry. I am very skilled at the writing process, reading process and using effective instructional practices.
I am a hands on conceptual style learner and like to teach the same way, I believe that students that can see the "why" can understand and retain what they learn. Engaging learners by using hands on activites can facilitate the learning process.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love tutoring and working with students. I believe that students are capable to achieve and to learn whatever they need if they put an extra effort in their studies. I have learned that every person has different study habits, some things work for someone and others don't. As a tutor I try to find the appropriate technique to help the student in the subject they are having problems with.
As an CSU-Pueblo senior engineer student, I know how hard some math classes could be. I have successfully passed all my math courses and I am one more class away to get my minor in it. I have helped students in the last 2 years with their math/Spanish courses. Students needed help in the beginning of the semester due to bad grades, through the semester I helped them to successfully improve their grades and review for every exam.
