Tutor Qualifications
I am a high school student with a strong passion for civil engineering, and I'm excited to learn alongside you in this series!
While I am still on my educational time period, I’ve been exploring structural analysis and other civil engineering topics on my own, and I’m eager to deepen my understanding. I believe in learning together and helping each other build a strong foundation in this fascinating field.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Please try to attend every session as each one builds on the previous one. If you cannot make it to a session, please notify me in advance or as soon as possible.
I understand that life happens, so missing a session occasionally is okay, but please try not to miss more than two sessions in a row. If you do miss a session,
I will share a summary of the material covered to help you catch up!

About the Tutor
Hey, I'm Zaid! I am currently pursuing my secondary education at high school. I have a variety of university-level resources focused on Engineering, especially Civil Engineering, the art of designing, building, and maintaining our environment and infrastructure. Civil Engineering is a professional engineering field that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of everyday environment and infrastructure. If you’re aspiring to be an engineer or just want to learn together, feel free to DM me! I also love structured learning paths, starting from the basics and progressing step-by-step. If that sounds like you, I’d be happy to organize a comprehensive plan for us to learn collaboratively.
