"Hi, I’m James! I’m a Mechanical Engineer with 7 years of real-world experience and a current master’s student in Aerospace Engineering at Purdue University. I’ve spent much of my career solving challenging problems in areas like mechanics, materials, and physics—and I love helping students see that these subjects don’t have to feel intimidating.

I’ve taught and tutored students from elementary through early high school, focusing on turning difficult topics into something logical and approachable. Whether it’s algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, physics, or engineering mechanics, my goal is to help each student build real understanding and confidence, not just memorize formulas.

In my sessions, I focus on connecting classroom theory to real-world applications. I use examples from engineering and everyday life to make abstract concepts click. Every lesson is tailored to the student’s pace and goals, whether they need extra help catching up or want to push beyond the standard curriculum.

I believe learning should feel clear, practical, and empowering. I’m easy to reach, always patient, and committed to helping students not only improve their grades but also develop problem-solving skills they’ll use for life.

If you have any questions or want to discuss specific learning goals, feel free to reach out, I’d be glad to help design a plan that works best for you!" less...
