Martin

Certified Tutor

Hello, my name is Martin and I look forward to helping you learn!

I have my PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Johns Hopkins University and have taught at Johns Hopkins, Maryland Institutes: College of Art and Brown Mackie College. In addition to teaching at the College level I have tutored many students of all ages.

At Johns Hopkins, I mentored many undergraduate and high school students through my research lab, helping them to learn new material, set up experiments, and write reports. I also served as a teaching assistant for multiple mathematics, physics and dynamics related classes and I developed a project centered robotics curriculum that included hands-on laboratory procedures, homework assignments, projects and lectures. I have served as part-time faculty at the Maryland Institutes: College of Art - teaching topics related to art, philosophy, design, electrical and mechanical engineering, and physics. I built the physics course from the ground, up, creating the curriculum, choosing materials and designing experiments and assignments. At Brown Mackie College in Saint Louis, I was hired as faculty to teach classes in, and manage the curriculum development of, the Biomedical Technology department.

我是一个病人教育家,保持大局的人in mind while guiding each student one step at a time, filling in the pieces of the story like a puzzle. As a Mathematician, but also a hands-on Designer, I can relate to a variety of learning styles such as intuitive and visual, active and reflective, sequential and global. I love to see people learn new things and help them experience the light-bulb moment when they grasp a new topic.

Outside of academics, I love to listen to, compose, and play music, be in the outdoors, travel, and eat good food.
