Hello! My name is Charles. Math, Physics and Engineering are my main areas and I have a solid record of success helping students as a tutor. Many have improved by two grade points. My doctoral degree is in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech where I won a prestigious award from ASME for my dissertation work. I am patient, easy going and enjoy helping students succeed. My experience includes having had the privilege to teach a number of ME classes: Thermodynamics, System Dynamics, Heat ...

writing
statistics
English
The preparation of my PhD dissertation as well as my other scientific papers have required the extensive and prolonged exercise of writing skills. Moreover, my writing has been subject to rigorous review by others. I would be glad to aid anyone who needs help with writing, regardless of whether it is technical in nature or not.
SAT math
physical science
Physical Science is at the heart of my work in Mechanical Engineering and science in general. I enjoy helping students to understand this subject.
ASVAB
probability
My work in Quantum Mechanics has required an extensive knowledge of probability and how to apply it. I would be glad to help any student in this area.
ACT Math
discrete math
I have a lot of experience in broad areas of mathematics. These include combinatorics, complexity of algorithms, probability theory, basic graph theory and set theory which are topics common to discrete math. Much of my experience is in conjunction with software engineering and design. I have worked as a software engineer for a number of years prior to my doctorate.

I highly recommend Charles to any student needing help in Engineering . My grades have improved in the short time I have been working with him. He is very patient and flexible with meeting times. He explains/breaks down difficult concepts so they are easy to understand. He extremely knowledgeable of all facets of engineering and has been instrumental in getting me through programming and MATLAB.
