Bio

I am a Physics B.A. and general science enthusiast. I want to help you succeed in your courses while showing you all the uses of math and physics through plenty of hands-on examples and applications.

I started tutoring others when I was in high school, and one-on-one teaching remains a passion and skill of mine. I teach through concise, clear examples in order to guide you to figure out the right answer on your own and make the material feel intuitive, with a lot of back-and-forth. I also understand the struggle of getting through dense material and I am a patient and understanding teacher.

I am a graduate of AP Physics in high school and both majored in and completed a thesis in Physics in college, so I know both about what it takes to succeed in high school physics and how to translate that to success in college. I particularly passionate about classical mechanics.

Trigonometry

1st Grade - 12th Grade

As a Physics B.A., I have used trigonometry in my studies ever since I first learned it. I place an emphasis in my teaching on concrete examples and fun applications of trig.

Calculus
