Joshua: Nassau County tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington with my Bachelor of Science in Physics and Mathematics, and have recently been accepted for my PhD in Astrophysics at the University of New Mexico. I am extremely passionate about physics and mathematics because they perfectly intertwine to bring us elegant descriptions of our universe and profound insights into the nature of reality. Throughout my time in my studies, I found myself sharing what I learned in my classes to my friends and family; this lead me to realize my call to teaching. I have been teaching the astronomy labs at my university for 3 years and recently taught high school physics for the Upward Bound program. I love teaching introductory physics and calculus because they lay the groundwork for understanding higher level concepts. Currently, I am involved in researching the environments of supermassive blackholes and tests of General Relativity. Outside of academics, I love playing video games, reading fantasy books, and playing my guitar.
