About the lesson
I am offering tutoring for university level engineering students. I have many years of teaching experience in academia in a class room setting in person as well as online to remote students. I also have held thousands of hours of "office hours", where I have mostly helped students one by one. I have not had one student that came into my office and left without having a "aha moment". Often, students will come in with a question, but from experience the question itself is not the actual problem they have or they have a hard time formulating the actual problem with understanding the material. I have a deep understanding and the skill set to identify the exact issues that students have with the class material and address those effectively. Lesson plans will be tailored on the student's needs. This can be for a short term preparation towards a particular exam, or a semester long preparation to successfully complete the semester.
I am offering one by one tutoring (in person or online) for many courses in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, industrial engineering, etc. Emphasis is on but not exclusive to calculus, mechanics of materials (strength of materials), solid mechanics, statics and particle dynamics, dynamics and vibration, mathematics for engineers, and many other classes (ask if yours is not listed).

About Sevan
My name is Sevan Gonezen and I received my BS/MS degree (called Diplom in Germany) in Aeronautical Engineering from the “Rheinisch-Westfaelische Technische Hochschule Aachen (RWTH)” in Germany in December 2006.
I started my Ph.D. program in spring 2007 at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and graduated in May 2011. My Ph.D. work involved the development and implementation of efficient algorithms to solve inverse problems in finite elasticity. Its application to nonlinear elasticity imaging of breast tumors has shown great potential to diagnose breast cancer non-invasively. I became a finalist for the $30,000 Lemelson-MIT-RPI Prize with his findings on breast cancer diagnosis using nonlinear elasticity imaging.
After my PhD, I became a postdoctoral researcher in the Biomedical Engineering Department at Oregon Health & Science University, where I studied congenital heart defects of the embryonic chicken heart and risk of rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms using fluid-structure-interaction computations.
I was a faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University from 2013 to 2020. My research interests are in computational (bio-)mechanics, growth and remodeling of tissues, non-destructive material characterization, inverse problems, fluid-structure-interactions, and multi-scale modeling. During my time at Texas A&M University, I was awarded the ASME Research Initiation Grant for young faculty sponsored by the Haythornthwaite Foundation and the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Visiting Faculty Travel Grant. My research was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). I taught many undergraduate and graduate courses and received great feedback from my students.
