Tutoring Program

My tutoring service is designed to provide guidance about undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs. It is not available by e-Mail (since this channel is ambiguous and prone to spread misconceptions). The service is intented to help mastering knowledge in real-life engineering scenarios, not to solve exam problems of any kind!

PLEASE NOTICE that an appointment is needed. The request has to be received at least 24 business hours before the meeting. Please select your preferred tutoring time slot in my academic calendar included below and contact me to confirm your selection.
