Most tutorials cost in the range of 40€ to 80€ per hour and oftentimes only offer up to high school level knowledge. MechStress covers more advanced engineering topics than any other online course. For the price of less than 2-3 tutoring hours, MechStress gives you a multitude of exam topics with full video explanations and sample exams with video solutions. The course offers structured engineering preparation without ongoing tutoring costs and is designed to help you understand, not just memorise steps. This way, you are truly prepared for any exam questions that might come up.
This course covers all fundamental topics and exceeds most university 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.
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.
The course consists of videos for each topic and sample exams. You can watch the lessons anytime and at your own pace.
