DEE Tutors

DEE is made possible by our Tutors, a group of upperclass students dedicated to fostering a sense of community among DEE students through academic support, social opportunities, and peer mentorship. They are here to answer your questions, provide perspective, and talk about their experience with engineering at Dartmouth, and beyond.

Why did you get involved in DEE?

I think every student has the potential to be amazing! Engineering is a great field but the prerequisites are difficult and I’ve found that TAs have always helped, so I would love to help others as a DEE tutor. 


What would you like new students to know about DEE?

DEE isn’t just academic support, it’s a community space where students can ask their peers for advice, build confidence, and feel encouraged!

FUN FACT

I once spilled champagne on Meryl Streep. She was cool about it.

WHY I AM INVOLVED IN DEE

Engineering and STEM courses are challenging, especially when relevant background isn't covered properly. I want to help fill in those gaps. Also, I legitimately enjoy talking about math and physics.  

WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT DEE

We're very nice! Also, there's no such thing as a bad question!

Heather Wang '25

Engineering Physics, Philosophy 

DARTMOUTH HOUSE: West

HOME IS... Beijing, China

WHY I AM INVOLVED IN DEE

It began as a chill study space and turned into a lifesaving after-class TA session. I was a humanities-turned-STEM major, and having DEE as a resource definitely made me more confident and prepared. 

WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT DEE

Intro classes can be some of the most intense and intimidating courses, and DEE is here to make that process a little smoother. We can all learn from each other and there are absolutely no dumb questions. This is also a great place for meeting upperclassmen, mentors, and friends. You can do it! 

FUN FACT

I can do a split.

HOME IS...Mombasa, Kenya 

WHY I AM INVOLVED IN DEE

DEE has always been a super helpful resource to me academically and it provided such a comforting space for me to grow as an engineer so I wanted to nurture the same space for others. 

WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT DEE

Come to DEE plus no question is a dumb question! 

FUN FACT

I have a twin brother (but don't worry, I'm better!)

Moses Matanda, '25

Biomedical Engineering with a Minor in Human- Centered Design 

DARTMOUTH HOUSE: North Park

HOME IS...Dallas, TX


Fun Fact

During my first year, I was awarded the Brieanna S. Weinstein Engineering Design Prize at the 2022 Investiture. 


Why did you get involved in DEE?

I joined DEE so that I could give back to the program and pay forward all the help I received. Besides hosting reliable tutoring sessions, DEE TAs acted as the mentors who helped me better navigate the field of engineering at Dartmouth. Now, I hope to do the same to the next generation of Dartmouth engineers. 


What would you like new students to know about DEE?

DEE is more than just homework help. We can be both mentors and friends throughout your time at Dartmouth. Please, please, use us as a resource. Likewise, engineering is much more than just your math or physics classes. Don't let the prerequisites deter you from engineering.

HOME IS... Boise, Idaho


Fun Fact

I lived in Japan for three years.


Why did you get involved in DEE?

I did not come to Dartmouth thinking I was going to major in engineering, but fell in love with it when I got here. I want to help other people discover their passions for Engineering.


What would you like new students to know about DEE?

It might be scary to ask TAs or your Professors questions, but we are here to help you and there are no dumb questions. DEE can be used as a resource for not only classwork, but also anything Dartmouth/Engs related.
