    Engineer With Background in Math & Science

    Science / Engineering instructor from Chicago with 5 years of teaching experience across multiple disciplines in secondary education. Both of my degrees are in Civil and Environmental Engineering from top-ranked universities, with a wealth of experience in college lecturing and graduate teaching assistance. I have personally developed introductory courses for both Physics Mechanics and Environmental Engineering, which broadly cover the main branches of Mechanics (classical, wave theory, thermodynamics) and Biology / Chemistry (soil, water, and air quality). University PreCalculus and Calculus I are also courses for which I have proficiency in, which would tie into your engineering programs. In addition to technical knowledge, I have demonstrated understanding of student psychology and teaching effectiveness as evidenced by student feedback, online surveys, and professional observations
