Is this course worth it?

Most tutorials cost in the range of 40€ to 80€ per hour and oftentimes only offer up to high school level knowledge. Mechstress covers many more advanced static mechanics topics than any other online course. For the price of less than 2-3 tutoring hours, MechStress gives you 13 exam topics with full video explanations, 2 complete sample exams with video solutions and a full year of unlimited access. The course offers structured static mechanics preparation without ongoing tutoring costs and is designed to help you understand mechanics, not just memorise steps. This way, you are truly prepared for any exam questions that might come up.

Does this course match my university's syllabus?

This course covers all fundamental static mechanics topics and exceeds most static mechanics courses. The content is very extensive, such that you can find each topic that might be taught at your uni. However, notations can differ, so use the course as structured practice and compare with your lecture notes.

If you have suggestions regarding the content, please contact us at info@mechstress.com.

Who made this course?

All lectures and practice problems are created by the MechStress instructor, who has 3+ years of tutoring experience, including 2 years of tutoring at a university. Topics taught include Static Mechanics, Dynamics, Elasto Statics, Thermodynamics, and Linear Algebra. Please note that MechStress is an independent course and is not affiliated with any university.

Is this live tutoring or self-paced?

The course consists of videos for each topic and sample exams. You can watch the lessons anytime and at your own pace. 

Is this course suitable for Mechanical / Aerospace / Civil Engineers?

Yes. Statics is a core subject across those degrees, and the methods used are generally the same.

Is the course beginner-friendly?

Yes. We start with the fundamentals (equilibrium, supports, moments) and build up to more complex exam-style tasks.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Direct card payment. If you have trouble with this, contact info@mechstress.com, and we can find a solution together. 

I paid for the course but did not receive a log-in email, what do I do?
