I am an engineer with a great passion for teaching and tutoring. My BSc
is in Mechanical Engineering. My first MSc is in Engineering Acoustics
and now I am doing my second Master’s in Architectural
Engineering. During this time, I have enjoyed working with students and
helping them develop a better understanding of engineering concepts. I
have been tutoring since 2010 and since then I have learnt a lot from my
students, as I tutored them on several topics including materials
science, fluid mechanics, heat transfer and green design. I am looking
forward to walking through this course step by step with new amazing
students.
