I have been a high school physics teacher for seven years. My focus is on providing students with strategies that help them approach problem solving in a methodical and organized manner. I encourage students to observe their surroundings and use those observations to make connections to what we are learning in the classroom. Through a methodical, inquiry-based approach, students learn how to think critically and approach new scenarios with confidence. ... Usually I will outline a...

...classes can be intimidating to many. Every student has their own way of learning. My job is to figure out how my students learn and work within that framework to demystify these subjects. Everyone starts life as a scientist, questioning everything in their environment, and my goal is to bring my students back to their inherent inquisitive nature. In my spare time I enjoy playing board games with friends, experimenting in the kitchen, and amateur...

...others. I've worked with a few people over the last 3 years. I helped a lot of kids in my school with maths and physics. In College I helped my peers with the Chemical Principles course, as I have covered all the material behind it. My greatest success was a student in Russia whose SAT I made go up from around 600/800 to 1300. I got my education in London and am an alumni of...

Hi! I teach college and grad-level math and physics. My quizzes and labs prepare students for SAT II, GRE, medical, and industry tests. I study problems from Kaplan's books and "Dummies' Guides". My students and I discuss conceptual lab design questions, some from magazines and news videos. We try computer simulations. I can help with any phase of your college/graduate application, especially research and recommendation letters.
