As a current mechanical engineering grad student, Aaron is immersed daily in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and solid mechanics — the exact coursework his students are navigating. He tackles problem sets by connecting governing equations to physical intuition, whether that's a free-body diagram for statics or a control volume analysis for fluids. That proximity to the material means he knows which concepts professors emphasize and where students commonly lose points.

Caltech's engineering curriculum gave Brian a rigorous grounding in the physics and math that underpin mechanical engineering — thermodynamics, statics, and the differential equations that govern dynamic systems. His dual background in economics and computer science also means he can approach optimization and modeling problems from an analytical angle that pure ME tutors sometimes skip. He's strongest on the quantitative setup side, helping students translate physical scenarios into solvable equations.

Ava's dual bachelor's in mechanical engineering and energy engineering from Washington University in St. Louis means she didn't just take the standard ME sequence — she extended it into thermodynamic systems, energy conversion, and sustainability applications. She also served as a teaching assistant for multiple engineering courses, giving her practice at unpacking topics like heat transfer and machine design for students who are hitting walls in their own coursework.

Jeffrey is pursuing his PhD in mechanical engineering at Rice University after completing his undergraduate ME degree at Notre Dame, so he's deeply embedded in the discipline. He tackles core topics like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and machine design with the perspective of someone actively doing research in the field. Students get a tutor who can bridge textbook theory and real engineering analysis.

Fred earned his Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering degree from Princeton, where he tackled thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and control systems firsthand. He now applies that training professionally as a consultant, which means he can connect textbook derivations to how engineers actually use them in practice. Students working through statics problems, heat transfer calculations, or machine design get someone who's both studied and lived the material.

Having earned his bachelor's in mechanical engineering and now working as a practicing engineer, Steve teaches ME coursework from the inside out — thermodynamics cycles, material stress-strain behavior, fluid dynamics, machine design. He unpacks the theory behind each topic while showing how it applies to actual design decisions, which is the leap most textbooks skip.

Currently pursuing his Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Penn, Larkin is deep in the coursework — thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and dynamics — that defines this field. He tackles problem sets alongside his own students, which means his explanations reflect how these concepts are actually tested and applied right now.

Studying Mechanical Engineering at MIT with a concentration in Biomedical Devices, Vania is immersed in the subject daily — from thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to materials science and CAD modeling. She brings that hands-on perspective to tutoring, connecting textbook derivations to real design problems like stress analysis in prosthetics or heat transfer in 3D-printed components. Her engineering coursework gives her a practical fluency that makes abstract concepts click.

I am a recent graduate of Princeton University's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department. I am passionate about teaching and mentoring and have done so in multiple capacities over the last four years, including a fellowship during which I taught pre-algebraic math to a group of middle school students from traditionally underserved backgrounds in Saint Paul, MN. I love interacting with students and seeing them grow over the course of their studies. I'm ecstatic at the opportunity to learn alongside them as we venture into educational rabbit holes and uncover key concepts about math, science, and everything else.

Solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, and mechanical design are Ashley's self-described sweet spots — and her PhD gives her the depth to unpack everything from Mohr's circle to Navier-Stokes simplifications at whatever level a student needs. She tackles the full undergraduate ME curriculum, connecting theoretical derivations to real design problems so the math feels purposeful.

Caroline earned her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and applies that training directly when covering topics like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and material properties. She breaks down complex problem sets by connecting theoretical equations to the physical systems they describe, making it easier to see why a formula applies — not just when to use it.

Notre Dame's Natural Sciences program gave Mark a solid handle on the physics and calculus that mechanical engineering students run into constantly — force analysis, energy systems, and the math connecting them. He approaches engineering problems by grounding them in the underlying science, which is especially useful for students struggling to see why the equations work rather than just how to use them.
