Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Catalina Foothills, AZ

...from there. My earliest education was hanging around the newspaper where my father worked, where I developed a critical eye while looking for typos. I received a Bachelor's degree in music theory from Binghamton University. I also taught pre-alegbra there, through the Educational Opportunity Program. A few years later I decided to get out of my head and became a licensed massage therapist, expanding my kinesthetic understanding considerably. Math and music theory are two of...

...Public Policy. During my studies at Arizona, I presented lectures at several international conferences in political science and international relations. While attending graduate school at the University of Arizona, I worked as a teacher's assistant and was responsible for providing individual feedback to over 100 students. I found it rewarding to work with my students so they could achieve their maximum potential. Presently, I am working on some coding projects, primarily in the Ruby-on-Rails environment,...

Anything worth doing doesn't come easy. That being said, my goal is to make true learning as smooth as possible, and hopefully, we'll have some fun in the process.

I graduated with a B.S. in Physics and currently work as an electrical engineer as I pursue my M.S. in Electrical Engineering. I am a scientist at heart and enjoy helping people find their spark in learning. My approach to learning which has helped many students is to teach proficiency in the skill, followed by, or in parallel with, explaining the concept from as basic a principle as the student would like.

Hello, my name is Michael. I'm here to help.

...because not only does it help other people understand the subjects that I'm passionate about, it also helps me develop a greater understanding of the concepts myself. I am a native and fluent French speaker; I was born in Paris, France and moved to the US in my early teens, which also makes me bilingual. I have taken, succeeded in, and tutored every math class from Pre-Algebra to Calculus 4, as well as AP Physics...

...my skills to help struggling students, while keeping the flexibility to stay home with my youngest who is not yet in pre-school. Having taught in a public school setting, I have had experience with students of all abilities and understand that each student is unique; and therefore each student may learn slightly differently than the one style of teaching that the classroom teacher primarily uses. I also understand that life circumstances play a huge role...

...my own experience in education, I appreciate the incredible impact that teachers have on the lives of young people. I know that teachers provide skills and knowledge used by young people throughout life. Therefore, as a teacher, my greatest aim is to be a role model. I want to cultivate open minds, the knowledge and ability to look at the world critically, and students belief in their own capacity to make positive contributions to society.

I just graduated with a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from University of New Mexico. I'm a postdoc now at University of Arizona where I teach undergraduate and graduate students. My research is on application of peridynamics to multiphysics problems. I love working with kids and teaching. I would like to become a professor eventually.

...students from first grade up through eighth grade. I have also taught elementary science first through fourth grade and have been formally teaching for five years. I am passionate about the subjects of math and science. I believe that a student's ability to learn should be the skill that is honed above all others and encourage the use of learning from one's mistakes to improve academically. My spare time is typically taken up with playing...
