Mark: Clarkstown tutor

Certified Tutor

I have been teaching high school physics for over 25 years, including AP Physics, Regents Physics, and Computer Science. I also serve as a college adjunct lecturer, teaching both calculus-based and algebra-based introductory physics.

I hold a B.S. in Physics and an M.S. in Physics Education, and I am certified to teach Physics and General Science in New York State.

My teaching style is inquiry-based and student-centered. I guide students with questions that lead them to discover concepts on their own, rather than relying solely on lectures. This approach helps build deeper understanding and stronger retention.

With decades of experience, I know the common challenges students face in physics and have developed clear, effective strategies to make even the most difficult topics approachable and understandable.
