Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Greenwich, CT

I grew up in Long Island, NY where I played Football and Baseball for most of my childhood. I then went to Fordham University where I earned my Bachelors Degree in Engineering Physics. While I was a student, I helped run a coffee house, which put on concerts several times a month. After graduation in 2011, I was hired by Photonics Industries International as a Laser Engineer. I still work there today, but now as a group Manager. We produce industrial grade solid-state lasers that are used in many applications. Most notably, many of our laser systems are used to process the glass and electronics used in many Apple and Samsung cellphones and other electronics. I have a passion for mathematics and sciences and I have been tutoring others ever since I was in high school. I believe that I can make positive contributions to any student’s academic endeavors.

...am a current student attending graduate school at Columbia University. I graduated from Yale University in 2011 and upon graduation, joined Teach for America, a non-profit organization whose mission is is to help close the current opportunity gap that exists in classrooms across the U.S. I taught 1st 2nd and 3rd grade for three years and while teaching, earned a Master's Degree in Education.

...started tutoring when I was in high school, myself, where I volunteered as a "Big Brother", helping incoming freshmen adapt themselves to the more rigorous environment of St. Paul's. While an undergraduate at Columbia University, I taught SAT prep courses. I will be going to law school in the fall, and until then I am continuing my passion for teaching with Varsity Tutors! My tutoring style has always been to fit the lesson to the...

Approaching math and science problems with optimism and desire for learning are key to developing one's mind and skills. More than helping to understand subjects, my goal in tutoring is to transmit desire for the sciences and passion for learning, which I believe is key to learning in the long run.

I try to have students build upon what they already know and try to relate the subject matter to their lives as much as possible. I have two years in-class teaching experience for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.... I try to build students’ understanding of course material by expanding upon any foundation he or she may have. I also try to make science relevant to students' daily lives by including real-world applications of the material in my lessons. That way the subject isn't an abstract set of rules having no relationship to students' experiences.

...AP tests, and the MCAT. I sincerely believe that while some of the concepts presented in these subjects and tests seem initially very difficult, they become much less intimidating if you have the confidence and perspective to look at the problems from the right angle. They don't have to be so challenging! I like to connect on students' levels and help them to find that confidence. In my free time I enjoy playing guitar and...

...more advanced subject. In high school, I myself struggled with physics and math, so I have a good idea of what could be confusing to students, and I know a lot of memorization tricks and analogies to simplify the hard concepts. I also specialize in teaching College math and physics and preparing the student for the math and physics section of the following standardized exams: GRE, MCAT, OAT, DAT or any other exam of this...

...I have tutored my peers in algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. I take pride in my tutoring because I have the ability to help a student exceed to his/her best ability. Everyone has the potential to be extraordinary; they just need a little push to get going. Apart from all the “boring” stuff, I have several other interests. Some include watching sports, weightlifting, and making people laugh. I am a devoted person that doesn’t stop until...
