Experience
I tutored throughout my undergraduate studies for Mechanical Engineering. On campus, I helped many students catch up to the program requirements, and helped many students pass the more challenging classes like Thermodynamics and Fluid dynamics. I also helped many students outside the engineering program with the classes required for their majors: from algebra to physics.
Teaching Methodology
I struggled grasping math when I was younger, and have developed a good intuition to understand where students are confused and how to make the logic of the problems make sense.
Generally, I will start by having the student walk me through a problem they have already solved, explaining the steps they took. I observe them and take note of the way they think. Then, I will have them take a step back and look at the fundamentals of the process: What are we actually doing? Why?
Only then will we do practice problems to cement the concepts.
Why Choose Omar?
I am not a professional tutor. I work as an R&D Engineer designing medical devices. However, I have a passion for teaching and love to help people learn to appreciate math and science. I am also very familiar with their utilitarian uses, and use them at my job every day. Demonstrating the real-world application of these tools helps students understand the concept better. Very few people understand the practicality of a derivative, until they have to use it to solve a real problem!
