Philip: Buckeye tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a recent graduate who helps terrified students overcome their fear of math and science (especially Physics) while cultivating a genuine interest and understanding in the subjects.

I have over 14 years of tutoring experience. My first experience tutoring was in the 10th grade as a requirement during free period for the newly formed Mathematics honor society Mu Alpha Theta. Over the years, this requirement grew into a passion which then evolved into me teaching a wide variety of subjects and students both young and old.

Through my experience, I have discovered anyone can learn anything (even physics). The key is finding the learning style that works best, and filling the gaps in understanding that make the subjects stressful.

I use my well-polished listening and communication skills to identify your best learning style while creating a calm, comfortable environment. I then use my mastery of the subject matter to put the information in terms easier to relate to thus filling the holes in your understanding. From my experience, I have noticed that creating an understanding has a far greater effect on your performance in school and grades than merely going over the subject matter for a test.
