Class Experience
Working on an ambitious engineering project? Feeling stumped by your physics homework? Wanting to do something awesome for a science fair but struggling with the process? I can help! I'm an experienced mechanical engineer and engineering educator who loves to empower students in their scientific and engineering endeavors. I've worked with Outschool students to understand physics, chemistry, computer programming, scientific research, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. I'd love to hear all about what you're struggling to understand or trying to do. This class is customized to your needs. I strongly encourage you to use the classroom to tell me more about your project or homework so we can hit the ground running.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I'm an engineer committed to giving students amazing experiences in math, science, and engineering. I believe that learning happens when kids ask questions and explore their interests. I look forward to helping your kids leverage their curiosity and see math, science, and engineering at work in the world around them.
I purposefully design classes around real-world projects to engage students more deeply in learning. I believe that kids learn best when they have the opportunity to create. As much as is possible, I encourage students to use their hands and build their own models.
As a kid, I was constantly looking for new experiences with math, science, and engineering. I conducted every experiment from Mr. Wizard's Supermarket Science and begged my parents for more math practice. I took all the advanced math and science course offered by my high school, attended Space Academy and Advanced Space Academy, competed in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair three years in a row, was a semi-finalist in the Science Talent Search, and graduated magna cum laude from Boston University while majoring in mechanical engineering. I also hold a MS in Engineering Education from Purdue University.
I currently teach math, science, and engineering courses to kids ages 6 and up. When I'm not teaching, I love to play with my cat, curl up with a good book, visit historic places, or watch a movie.
If you have any thoughts about a class you wish I would offer or a time you hope I can schedule a class, please send me a message. All of my best teaching ideas have come directly from my students as we learn and explore together.Reviews
