Engineering expertise meets educational passion in comprehensive STEM tutoring

Engineering Background, Educational Heart

With an engineering background and years of hands-on tutoring experience, I bring both deep technical knowledge and proven teaching methods to STEM education. My approach combines rigorous academic standards with engaging, practical applications that help students truly understand complex concepts.

I believe that every student can excel in mathematics and science when given the right instruction, encouragement, and tools. My engineering training has taught me to break down complex problems into manageable steps—a skill that translates perfectly to helping students master challenging subjects.

As a Christian educator, I integrate faith-based perspectives with academic excellence, helping students see the wonder of God's creation through scientific discovery and mathematical precision.

What Students Say

Real feedback from students who've experienced the difference

"When I first met Mr. Summers, I thought I was going to have a typical boring year; I was wrong. Not only did we learn with fun experiments using things like an oilers disk, magnets, and lenses, but he made me excited to go to class. He's an all-around cool man that wants to see people succeed and nurture students' intellectual interests. He really does care for students—like when I fell behind, we did some tutoring at Taco Bell. Mr. Summers has made a lifelong impression on me and even my family."

My Approach

Engineering principles applied to education for maximum student success

1

Assess Current Understanding

I start by understanding where each student is academically and what their learning preferences are.

2

Build Strong Foundations

Like engineering, math and science require solid fundamentals. I ensure students master prerequisite concepts before advancing.

3

Apply Knowledge Practically

Students learn best when they can see how concepts apply to real-world situations and hands-on experiments.

4

Build Confidence & Independence

My goal is to develop students who can tackle new problems independently with confidence and systematic thinking.
