About Me

I began to enjoy math and physics during my sophomore year of high school when I encountered trigonometry and algebra 2. Up until this point in high school, I had skated by because I had not been challenged sufficiently enough to pique my interest. When I began to struggle with concepts in this class, I knew I had met a subject that demanded more rigor than a half hour breezing through notes. Since then, I have grown to love math and it's applied version, engineering, through rigorous education and job experience. My path took me to Saint Louis University where I graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and later to Washington University in Saint Louis, where I graduated with a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering. I've had many opportunities throughout this time to both learn and teach and I am passionate about both. I have been a teaching assistant, tutor, researcher, guest lecturer, researcher, and am currently a practicing engineer. Some things about me: I've resided in Saint Louis my whole life and am very familiar with the area. I love the outdoors and take runs around my neighborhood every chance I get. I enjoy kayaking, hiking, camping, and mountain climbing. I love to read and learn things that are outside of my immediate skill set. As a tutor, I look forward to encountering various learning styles and adapting my own teaching style to the needs of my students. My goal is to not only provide assistance in the material currently encountered by the students, but also to give them tools to succeed in their own in their future studies.

Q&A with Steve

My role as a teacher is to act as a guide rather than an example. As a guide, I can direct the student down the correct path that leads to the answers to their questions rather than giving them the answer myself. Through guiding the student, not only do they learn the answer to their question, but they also learn how to find the answer to their question.
