Benjamin
I am a big believer in the power of intuition and curiosity, so I try to teach in a way that nurtures both. I find that it is important not only to know how to get from problem statement to solution, but also to have some understanding of why the pieces fit together the way they do.

Dylan
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +31 Subjects
I'm currently an undergraduate student at Georgia Institute of Technology pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering. I mostly tutor subjects that reside in the STEM field as those subjects are my strong points. I have been a tutor in the past back in high school. During that time, I realized that helping students understand difficult material can be very awarding. In my free time, when I'm not studying for school or practicing sports, I like to play video games and hangout with friends. Every once in a while I'll pick up my violin and play songs that I've learned in the past; I find it very relaxing.
Jett
12th Grade math Tutor • +80 Subjects
I am currently a sophomore electrical and computer engineering student at the University of Texas at Austin. I helped out as a general subject (math, science, history, etc.) tutor at Health Careers High School in San Antonio while I was a junior and senior as part of National Honor Society. My strong academic subject areas are math, particularly calculus, trigonometry, and algebra; although I do tutor up to all high school levels of math, computer science programming in Java, Python, or C, electrical engineering topics like circuitry or programming, and mechanical physics. I really enjoy helping other people out because my motto is "ancora imparo," or "I am always learning." So if I can always learn something, I wish to help others learn and do better as well. My hobbies include exercise, sports, and playing video games, basically anything that engages the body or mind! Hobbies: sports, movies, reading, writing, art, books, music
Alisa

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with Latin and University Honors. I am currently a graduate student pursuing my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering at UT Dallas again. I have over 2 years of experience tutoring college level Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and Differential Equations for UT Dallas' Peer Tutoring Program, which is a drop-in one-on-one tutoring service offered by UT Dallas to all its students. I also have around a year's worth of experience tutoring privately for a variety of subjects including Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, SAT Math, and other standardized test math sections. I've always had excellent feedback about my tutoring services since I love forming connections with my students and make every tutoring session fun and educational at the same time. If you need an A in your math class or need to ace your SAT math section, look no further :) Hobbies: reading, music, singing, baking, art, books, writing

Abhijun
Calculus Tutor • +48 Subjects
I am a rising junior at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign studying Computer Engineering. I love learning and teaching math, science, and programming. I have mentored kids ranging from 5-15 and worked as a counselor for a science camp. My favorite subject to tutor would be programming since I have had a lot of experience in the area and it's so amazing to see students with little to no experience code their first projects. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and occasionally will embark on small side projects to spend my time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find circuit analysis particularly difficult—especially applying Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws, understanding mesh and nodal analysis, and working with AC circuits and phasors. Electromagnetics concepts like Gauss's law, magnetic fields, and Maxwell's equations are also abstract and hard to visualize without proper guidance. Additionally, many students struggle with the transition from basic DC circuits to more complex topics like transformers, three-phase systems, and signal processing, where small conceptual gaps compound quickly.
Strong math skills—particularly in differential equations, complex numbers, Fourier analysis, and linear algebra—are essential for upper-level EE courses. Many students have gaps in these foundational areas, which makes circuit analysis and electromagnetics feel impossible. A tutor can identify where your math foundation is weak and fill those gaps in context, showing you exactly how calculus or complex numbers apply to real circuits and systems rather than teaching math in isolation.
These concepts are inherently invisible, which is why many students memorize formulas without truly understanding what's happening. Effective tutoring uses multiple approaches: drawing detailed circuit diagrams with current paths clearly marked, using analogies (like water flowing through pipes for current), simulating circuits with tools like SPICE or multisim, and working through real-world examples where you can see how theory applies to actual devices. Building this intuition early prevents confusion later when dealing with complex systems.
Lab work often reveals gaps in theoretical understanding—you might calculate a circuit should work, but measurements don't match. A tutor helps you understand why by walking through the theory behind each experiment, explaining sources of error, and teaching you to troubleshoot systematically using both calculations and measurements. This connection is critical because EE is ultimately about building and testing real systems, not just solving equations on paper.
Effective EE tutors teach systematic approaches: starting by identifying what you know and what you need to find, choosing the right analysis method (nodal vs. mesh, Thevenin equivalent, superposition), checking your answer's reasonableness, and verifying units throughout. They also emphasize breaking complex multi-stage circuits into simpler sections, recognizing circuit patterns (voltage dividers, current dividers, filters), and knowing when to use approximations versus exact solutions. These strategies turn overwhelming problems into manageable steps.
Look for tutors with hands-on experience—ideally someone who has designed, built, or debugged real circuits, not just someone who passed exams. They should be able to explain concepts multiple ways, use simulation software and lab equipment comfortably, and understand common student misconceptions (like thinking current "gets used up" in a circuit). The best tutors can connect abstract theory to practical applications and adjust their explanations based on whether you're a visual, mathematical, or hands-on learner.
At introductory levels, tutors focus on building solid intuition about voltage, current, and basic circuit laws—getting the fundamentals right prevents major struggles later. At intermediate levels, they help you master analysis techniques and transition to AC circuits, which require thinking in complex numbers. At advanced levels, tutors work on specialized topics like control systems, power electronics, or electromagnetics, where the math is more sophisticated and real-world design constraints matter. Each level requires different emphasis.
Yes—tutors can guide you through the design process by helping you understand specifications, choose appropriate components and topologies, work through calculations, and troubleshoot when prototypes don't work as expected. They won't do the design for you, but they can teach you how to approach problems systematically, validate your choices against theory, and learn from failures. This is especially valuable for capstone projects where you need to integrate multiple concepts and make real engineering trade-offs.
