Bio
I'm an experienced, award-winning physics instructor with experience at the high school and university levels. I love teaching physics because it pleases me to see my students have that "Aha!" moment.
My experience in private, parochial, public, and charter schools over 37 years gives me insights others may not have about how to help students understand concepts that may initially seem complex. I can explain principles and processes in easy-to-understand terms and provide many examples to illustrate ideas in interesting ways. If one method of instruction is not working, I have others I can use.
