For engineering students in the courses that decide who finishes the major.
One-on-one tutoring from a PhD chemical engineer and licensed Professional Engineer, covering the university engineering core.
Free, 15 minutes, no payment details. We talk through what you are stuck on and whether I can help. Sessions after that are $175 for 60 minutes.
9 courses in the chemical engineering core
The core sequence, listed in the order you meet it, from the sophomore balances course through senior design.
General Chemistry I · General Chemistry II · Organic Chemistry I · Organic Chemistry II
The prerequisites the core sequence assumes you already have. When transport or thermodynamics stops making sense, this is usually where the actual gap turns out to be.
Calculus I · Calculus II · Calculus III · Differential Equations · Linear Algebra
Physics I · Physics II
Listed separately because it is not a prerequisite for anything above. This is the data side of engineering work, and what I have done professionally since the fab.
Python · SQL · Machine Learning
The gap is almost never in the course you are taking. Transport trouble is usually unresolved differential equations. Reaction engineering trouble is usually unresolved transport. I look for the thing underneath rather than drilling the surface topic.
Six years as a teaching assistant at RPI, and a teaching award in 2019. Knowing a subject and being able to explain it are different things, and plenty of people who have the first do not have the second.
We use your real problem sets and past exams. The goal is that you can do it alone afterwards, not that you followed along while I did it.
Tell me what you are working on and where it stopped making sense. If I am not the right person, I will say so.
