About Michal
I'm an aerospace engineer with a B.S. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and hands-on experience spanning defense and energy systems. I spent three years in defense as a Systems Engineer, including time leading modeling and simulation efforts on a major program, and I currently work as Chief Thermodynamics Engineer at an early-stage startup, where I model thermal and energy systems for advanced nuclear technology.
I tutor thermodynamics, mechanical/aerospace engineering coursework, calculus, differential equations, and applied physics — plus MATLAB and Python for engineering applications. Whether you're stuck on a specific homework problem, prepping for an exam, or trying to build real intuition for how these concepts connect to real engineering work, I focus on making sure you actually understand the "why," not just the steps to an answer.
I know what it's like to sit in these classes and feel like the material is coming at you too fast — I've been through the UIUC aerospace curriculum myself, and I've mentored junior engineers professionally. I'm patient, direct, and good at breaking down dense material into something that clicks.
Available evenings and weekends — let's figure out what's tripping you up and get you unstuck.

I structure every session around what's actually blocking you, not a fixed lesson plan. We'll usually start by walking through the specific problem or concept you're stuck on so I can see exactly where the disconnect is — then I'll rebuild the underlying concept from the ground up so it actually makes sense, rather than just showing you the steps to get an answer.
For thermodynamics and physics, I lean heavily on real physical intuition — I'll connect equations to what's actually happening physically, since that's usually what makes the material click for students who've been stuck memorizing formulas. For calculus and differential equations, I focus on building a strong problem-solving process you can apply on your own, not just walking through homework line by line.
If you're prepping for an exam, I like to work backward from practice problems to identify your specific weak spots, so we're not wasting time on material you've already got down. If you're working through a specific assignment, bring it and we'll dig in together.
Sessions can be over video call with a shared whiteboard, or in person if you're local. I respond quickly to messages and I'm happy to do a short intro call first if you want to make sure it's a good fit before booking a full session.
