Jacob H.
Private tutor in Blacksburg, VA
Education
I will be going into my senior Year at Virginia Tech this coming fall. I have been on the Dean's List ever since freshman year as I've studied Mechanical Engineering for the past 4 years. Recently I applied to minor in Green Engineering as well. Below are my cumulative and in-major GPA: Cumulative: 3.71 In-Major: 3.77 I will be graduating in the Spring of 2017 with a Bachelors Degree for Mechanical Engineering.
Experience
Classes Taken: Linear Algebra Vector Geometry Calculus 1-2 Multi-variable Calculus Differential Equations Physics Statics Dynamics Thermodynamics Fluid Mechanics Vibrations Work Experience: Starting in January 2014, I took a co-op position at Toyota as a Body Design Engineer. I worked for 8 months in the interior-seats group and 4 months in the exterior-doors group. Currently I work for Ford Motor Company as a Product Development Intern working on closure systems. (I will be back at VT by Late August but am available for online tutoring). Post-graduation I have already signed on to be a full time associate engineer working for Toyota. I want to be a tutor because I've always been able to help my friends in classes that they are struggling with and I enjoy teaching others. Not only do I get the satisfaction from teaching others but I also learn a lot from reviewing most of the subjects that i try to teach making me a better student and eventually a better worker. I am a quick learner so even for subjects that I may need a refresher on, it will not take long for me to be able to help another student. My extensive background in Math, Engineering Courses, and Work have trained me to become an effective problem solver and I would like to pass what I've learned on to more students.

Hobbies
My hobbies include many sports and outdoor activities, because typically I don't get much time outside due to my line of work. I love mountain biking, playing volleyball and basketball, as well as playing paintball when I can get my friends to come along with me. I am very interested basically anything I can put together with my hands. For the past few years I have been learning how to build computers and created several for family members including my father, brother, and aunt. Also I am so excited to get a chance to work in the car industry making products that I can see make a difference.
