Post RequirementPeer Tutor
Hello! My name is Yisak Fonkamo, and I’m a peer tutor at Rochester Institute of Technology, where I’m currently majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I’m passionate about helping students succeed in their academic journey, particularly in challenging subjects like math, physics, and engineering courses. With my hands-on experience as a student in RIT’s rigorous engineering program, I bring both technical knowledge and a relatable perspective to my tutoring sessions.
Teaching Experience
As a peer tutor at RIT, I’ve worked with students from diverse backgrounds, helping them tackle topics ranging from introductory calculus to advanced mechanical engineering concepts like statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics. I’ve logged numerous hours assisting classmates and underclassmen in understanding complex material, preparing for exams, and completing projects. Whether it’s breaking down a tricky problem set or guiding someone through a lab report, I’ve developed a knack for explaining things in a way that clicks. I’ve also collaborated with professors and TAs to ensure my tutoring aligns with course expectations, giving my students a solid foundation to excel.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is all about clarity, patience, and customization. I believe every student learns differently, so I adapt my approach to fit your needs—whether you’re a visual learner who benefits from diagrams, a hands-on learner who thrives with practical examples, or someone who just needs a step-by-step breakdown. I focus on building a strong conceptual understanding rather than just memorizing formulas, which is especially key in engineering. I’m big on interactive sessions—expect lots of questions, real-world examples (like how a car suspension ties into dynamics), and practice problems to reinforce what we cover. My goal is to make tough topics approachable and even enjoyable!
