...matter in front of them and themselves as a student. I believe that the healthy combination of creativity and patience can lead to the solution of almost any problem in life.

...the subjects I specialize in, I love tutoring students in physics (specifically, mechanics and waves).

Hi! My name is River Knight. I'm currently a student at New York University. I've actively worked as a tutor for the last 5 years. I hope to help my students find the joy in what they're learning and give them tools to improve on their own!
