What do you like most about tutoring?
I like seeing the students excel in learning the material while also enjoying it. It is rewarding to see the student succeed by overcoming the challenge while understanding the outcome and the process.

What subjects do you enjoy tutoring the most?
All types of math are my favorite subjects because the answer is not subjective. The answer is real and the challenge is the process applied to the answer. I enjoy critical thinking and finding different approaches to find solutions to the problem.

Why do you like working at Apt Tutoring?
Apt Tutoring offers one-on-one tutoring, which allows me to give each student my undivided attention and focus to assist the student to achieve their academic endeavors.

What did you major in at college, and what was your favorite class?
I majored in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering for my undergraduate degree. I am completing my master's work in Mechanical Engineering and Naval Engineering. My favorite course is a mix of resistance and propulsion, propellers, and hydrofoils. 

What do you like to do in your free time?
When I am not spending time with my family, I enjoy working out and working on cars in my free time.

My favorite vacation would be the trip my wife and I made to Italy after graduation from college. We traveled by all modes of transportation, visiting four different cities, while taking in all the food, architecture, artwork, and history.

Salty or sweet person? What is your favorite salty/sweet snack? I like both salty and sweet, but if I had to choose, I would say sweet. I never turn down dessert and would say ice cream is my go-to.
