An AP math & science tutor who's actually an engineer.
One-to-one tutoring across the AP, IB, and honors STEM slate — calculus, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, and statistics — from a UT Austin engineer who's lived the material, not a marketplace tutor reading from an answer key. Remote, nationwide.

The courses I teach
Every one of these I teach personally — no handoffs, no bench of subcontractors.
AP Calculus AB & BC
plus pre-calculus and honors calculus
AP Physics 1, 2 & C
algebra-based through calculus-based
AP Chemistry
and honors chemistry
AP Biology
and honors biology
AP Computer Science A
from an engineer who has shipped software
AP Statistics
and college intro statistics
On the IB track instead? I teach the IB equivalents of everything above — HL or SL.

Not a marketplace tutor. An engineer.
Most people tutoring AP calculus or physics are a semester ahead of your kid, reading from a solution manual. I went through UT Austin engineering, built the sales engine of a McKinsey-backed cybersecurity startup, and ran a director's org at Microsoft. I don't look up how derivatives work — I've used them to build things.
So when your kid asks “when will I ever use this,” I have a real answer, because I have. That's the difference between someone who can check the homework and someone who can rewire how your kid sees the whole subject.
I also treat the teaching itself like an engineering problem. I've recorded more than 3,000 hours of my one-to-one sessions and built AI models to analyze every transcript — where a student's energy dropped, where their reasoning went sideways, where they needed another thirty seconds I didn't give them. Every session plan is built from the data of the last one. No marketplace tutor is doing that.
Put out the fire — then rebuild the foundation under it
Maybe the immediate job is a pre-calc or AP physics grade that's on fire. We put it out. But a grade is a symptom — the real work is the foundation underneath: the concept three chapters back that never landed, and the habit of attacking a hard problem instead of freezing in front of it. We rebuild both. If it's rigorous STEM, I teach it the way an engineer actually uses it.
I'll go anywhere in the universe to meet a student. I only ask that they step onto the porch to meet me.
And underneath the subject, we're building the person — the self-talk, the systems, the inner operating system that outlasts any single class. That's the part that turns a rescued grade into a kid who attacks the next hard thing on their own.
“You're a great mentor. Our son really enjoyed getting to know you and learn from you. I know he is going to do well this year in computer science because of your help and encouragement.”

The investment
What you're paying for is an engineer who treats your kid's mind as the most interesting problem in the room. I keep this practice deliberately small: every session prepared for, every session reviewed after, nothing on autopilot. Most families invest $700–$2,000+ per month, depending on session cadence. Month to month, no contracts, no minimums — families stay because the work works, not because they signed something.
