Gov. Thomas Johnson High – Physics, Algebra-Based Honors

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Prerequisites: Prerequisite: Math Grade 8 Honors (Algebra 1 recommended). Algebra-Based Physics meets the Maryland State Content Standards for Physics. It is designed to meet the needs of 9th grade students demonstrating high achievement at the Honors level. The essential curriculum mirrors the Physics 1 (194301) course and includes the study of: Kinematics, Dynamics, Conservation Laws, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Modern Physics, as well as Atomic Theory. Unit topics are explored using both conceptual and mathematical analysis that require the use of graphing techniques and algebra in problem-solving laboratory experiences integral to this course. The course provides excellent preparation for students entering either Chemistry 1 or Biology. Successful completion of this course meets the science prerequisite for AP Physics enrollment. Algebra Based Physics (194161) and Physics 1 Honors (194301) are equivalent courses; credit may not be awarded for both.

Duke University
I am a graduate of Duke University( undergrad) where I majored in Philosophy and minored in Theater Studies. During my summers in college, I worked with EducationUSA Nairobi, an advising center for Kenyan students who wish to pursue higher education in the US. When I worked for them, I tutored high school graduates on SAT stuff and also helped them write better personal statements. After graduating from Duke last year, I started tutoring high school students in my neighborhood. I mainly taught math subjects such as Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Trigonometry, Geometry, Basic Math and Problem Solving but I'm well versed in Reading and Writing subjects as well. I'm vastly experienced and very patient with all my students. In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking etc.

University of Pennsylvania
I am a graduate from the University of Pennsylvania where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry. I started peer tutoring in high school, staying after school to help fellow students with AP Chemistry content before major exams and quizzes. I currently tutor in math (up to AP Calculus BC/Calculus II), chemistry, physics, biology and offer test prep for the SAT and several SAT Subject tests. However my favorite subjects to tutor involve chemistry, due to the various real world examples that make the subject more comprehensive and ultimately enjoyable for students. My hobbies and interests include dancing, solving crossword puzzles, binging Netflix TV shows and hiking.
