About Kevin

I was born and raised in Indianapolis, IN. Though I am a mechanical engineering by training, my experience as a peer tutor during my undergrad years propelled me into education. After completing my bachelor's degree at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, IN, I enrolled in a mechanical engineering Ph.D. program at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. I was fortunate enough to take a class on course design and pedagogy from one of the coauthors of a seminal text in the field while I was there, but I eventually dropped out without completing my degree.

After grad school, I founded a business, Brennan Tutoring, which I continue to operate, and began to focus exclusively on education as a career. I did some part-time work at a learning center to gain experience working with K12 students and develop new workshops, including one for the SAT. I moved to St. Louis in 2015, where I continued to tutor while also teaching classes and workshops, including a custom one for the GRE, at a local middle school and university. I have a master's degree in learning experience design and educational technology from WGU. I am currently a part-time faculty member at WashU, where I teach math courses targeted at engineering students.

Outside of my professional work, I am a father of two young boys and a lover of music, cars, basketball, disc golf, and tabletop gaming.

I am passionate about the learning process, and I have tens of thousands of hours of relevant experience; I also regularly attend education conferences and keep up-to-date on the research in the field. I am excited to help all of my students succeed, and I look forward to meeting you.

Tutoring is personal; I adapt my teaching approach on a student-by-student basis. Generally I prefer to check for understanding often and improve test performance by practicing material that matches the test material. I have a large collection of test prep resources, including ones I've developed myself, for all the tests I tutor for. I draw upon my training in educational theory and tens of thousands of hours of experience when setting strategies for each learner.
