Award-Winning AP Physics 1 Tutors serving Catalina Foothills, AZ

...school students hands on, experiential marine science lessons. I went to high school here in Tucson at Catalina Foothills and I studied abroad in Vancouver Island, Canada for two years, completing the I.B. diploma. My philosophy of education is focused on sharing my own passion for a subject and developing a similar appreciation in the students that I work with. I believe that this passion is essential for effective learning to happen, namely learning should...

...which was a huge passion of mine while I was in school. As a tutor in a community college environment, I got to work with people from a wide range of backgrounds and age groups. I have experience tutoring arithmetic, algebra, calculus, both calculus and algebra-based physics, statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials. One of my favorite subjects to tutor was algebra because often I was working with students who were coming back to college...

...basics on how to read for comprehension, write using evidence, problem solve using diagrams, and finally, study using a strategy. When any deficiencies have been addressed within the subject area, then the student becomes capable of understanding new concepts and then continuing successful progress on their own. As a tutor, I will make every effort to identify the student's deficiencies that need to be strengthened while maintaining an understanding of current concepts are approached. I...

...wish there was at least one black, even if it was a black American in my program at the U of A. This alienation with only whites, rather than weakening me, confirmed how smart I was to be the only black in the whole program. "Do you know Togo?" I asked. "I don't," was their answer. "You should go there some times," I replied. It makes them feel what it really means to be ignorant...

Anything worth doing doesn't come easy. That being said, my goal is to make true learning as smooth as possible, and hopefully, we'll have some fun in the process.

I just graduated with a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from University of New Mexico. I'm a postdoc now at University of Arizona where I teach undergraduate and graduate students. My research is on application of peridynamics to multiphysics problems. I love working with kids and teaching. I would like to become a professor eventually.

...During high school, I took many AP courses, and earned at least 4 scores of a 5 (I have yet to hear back about 4 tests). I am a national merit finalist. I have tutored my peers and underclassmen in the past, generally in math, and they told me that it greatly helped them. In my free time, I like to read novels, run, play with my dog, go hiking, do art projects, play the...

I believe that the best strategy to teaching is to identify misconceptions and carefully build up understanding from the basics.

...who struggled at the beginning of his academic career, it is easy for me to relate to those who are at a loss in regard to physics. In high school, I was one of the many students who are heard to say, "I'm just not good at math." Through practice, however, I was able to vastly improve my problem-solving abilities. As a tutor, I want to share this experience with others, and show them that...

My specialties are math and physics. I consider myself a quality tutor because I always ensure a student understands the details of the current material. I'm very motivated as a teacher and my schedule is flexible enough to make accommodations for students.
