Subjects & Coaching

From foundational mathematics through undergraduate mechanical engineering, I help students understand the principles behind the problems — not just memorize procedures.

Engineering-based STEM tutoring

My approach is shaped by years studying and applying mechanical engineering principles, including my experience as a mechanical engineer and submarine officer. Sessions focus on understanding why problems work, not just following procedures.

Mathematics

High School Mathematics

High-school mathematics, through the AP calculus sequence.

Why rates differ

Rates reflect the level of specialization and preparation required. High school courses and test preparation follow the foundational rate, introductory college coursework requires deeper subject mastery, and advanced engineering courses reflect specialized undergraduate expertise. Professional Coaching uses its own service tier and is currently priced at the foundational rate.

If your course is not listed

Course titles vary between schools, and the same material can appear under several different names. Send me the course name, textbook, or syllabus and I'll let you know whether it falls within my teaching scope.

In-person tutoring is by appointment within approximately 15 minutes of ZIP code 23462, including Oberndorf Central Library. Online sessions are available anywhere in the United States.

Not sure where your course fits?

Send the course name, the textbook, and what you are working toward. I will confirm the subject and the rate before anything is scheduled.
