Cal

Hello! My name is Cal, and I am currently a student at MIT pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I have a strong passion for physics and math, and I love building theme park rides! Last year, I designed, built, and installed a fully functional roller coaster in my backyard for Halloween, complete with a custom ride vehicle that could spin, lift, and drive up to 8 people per ride. I have secured over $25,000 in corporate sponsorships for my theme park ride projects.

Beyond engineering, I’m also a dedicated musician—I play lead trumpet in the MIT Jazz Ensemble, do freelance studio recordings, and have won a DownBeat Award for composition and arranging. I was awarded the Broadway Dallas Scholarship for Technical Theatre, the Charles Mingus Festival Outstanding Soloist award, and was selected as the TMEA All-State 1st chair jazz trumpet player.

Each Package includes a complimentary introductory meeting with parents and/or students to understand the student’s interests and prior experience and to create personalized lesson plans that will fully challenge and excite the student(s).

Classes are provided online using Zoom or Google Meet. A computer with reliable Internet connection, preferably one that is able to download software, is required for this course. Students do not need extensive prior programming experience, but they must have basic computer skills and be able to type efficiently.

Days and times are to be coordinated with the teacher. However, a minimum of 1 to 2 classes needs to be taken each week in order to maximize results and ensure that the full package is taken within the defined time frame.

The teacher does not make any guarantee of any future results, rewards, success, or achievements as part of the tutoring package.

It is important to note that the effectiveness of the tutoring sessions depends greatly on the effort, dedication, and commitment of the student. While the teacher will provide comprehensive instruction, practice, and support, the ultimate outcome of the tutoring sessions will be influenced by the student’s individual effort and engagement in the learning process. The tutoring package is designed to provide students with the necessary tools, resources, and guidance to improve their skills and knowledge in the targeted areas. However, the success of the tutoring sessions relies on the student’s active participation, practice, and willingness to learn. It is important for the student to come prepared for each session, complete assigned tasks, practice outside of the tutoring sessions, and actively engage in the learning activities provided by the teacher.
