Bio

Engineer studying psychology to become an educational psychologist. I have the scientific knowledge and expertise of an engineer with the with the patience and understanding of a psychologist.

I do not believe in a one size fits all approach. I believe we are all unique and take pleasure in helping students find what works for them to excel. I focus on understanding concepts to be able to solve new problems over memorizing everything. The greatest joy is watching a student go from uncertain of their own potential to being confidently approaching problems independently.

  • University Tutoring

Engineering Drawing

First Year MECN 1003

At first I really struggled with engineering drawing and didn't think I could improve despite practicing. In seeking help from someone more experienced I was finally able to master and apply concepts learnt in lectures. I hope to provide that same help to others in order to realize their potential.

Mathematics

First Year MATH 1014

I am passionate about mathematics and the potential utility it has in our day to day lives. As an engineer I hope to apply it to make the world a better place. I am very eager to share the knowledge I have with others have them do the same.

Mechanics

First Year PHYS 1015

Mechanics is my favorite subject and I believe is the one subject most characteristic of mechanical engineering. It does not based on theoretical concepts the eye cannot perceive but what you can observe. I find the most joy out of doing mechanic problems and teaching it.

Applied Mathematics

First Year - Second Year

As a mechanical engineer, Applied Maths is central to my work in areas like modal analysis, mechanics, and design. It is the knowledge I use most and understand deeply, and I enjoy helping students build the same confidence and practical understanding in this subject.
