About
Hey there! My name is Andrea. I am a senior chemical engineering student at the University of North Dakota. I worked as a vessel engineer offshore before returning to school to complete my chemical ... engineering degree. I've done undergrad research in nuclear engineering and am super passionate about sustainable energy systems.
I know that the engineering curriculum can be really intimidating, and sometimes let's be real - professors and TAs just don't do a great job at presenting the material. Success in engineering programs is really about knowing how to learn. When we work together, my goal isn't just for you to get an A on your upcoming quiz - it's to teach you how to approach learning the material itself.
First things first, though: let's get you an A on the upcoming quiz.
In addition the classes I've listed, I can tutor in Matlab as its applied in chemical engineering courses as well as in technical writing, cover letters and resumes.read more
