"I am Jim. I have spent well over three decades in the aerospace industry putting academic principles into practice and mentoring the younger generations in the ways of STEM. My Bachelor of Science is in Aerospace Engineering (Summa Cum Laude) and in my Master of Science I specialized in Flight Dynamics and Control Systems.

I work in the aerospace industry and have had a wide range of experiences that tend to make my subject areas come to life. I have been involved in launching rockets, UAVs and large scientific balloons. I spend a lot of time reading up on the latest trends in various technical fields in order to put theory into practice.

I have been tutoring online since 2019. During this time, I have provided thousands of live lesson sessions in a variety of topics with several tutoring relationships that spanned multiple years. I tutor in STEM, and STEM is about solving problems. My best tutoring sessions consist of helping students work through challenging problems and watching the concepts click as we find solution approaches that work for them.

Throughout my career in the aerospace industry, tutoring and mentoring have been a big part of my life. In perhaps my most formal teaching endeavor, I prepared and delivered a 16-week duration short-course on particle and rigid body dynamics for interested individuals working for a well known space oriented agency. I was given the opportunity to conduct a guest lecture series on orbital mechanics for a Space Systems class at a local university." less...
