Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Waltham, MA

...more important than simply memorizing. Earning my master's degree in education and becoming a teacher was my mid-life crisis. Before that, I worked in industry as a chemical engineer and then a project manager for many years after earning my Bachelor of Science at Cornell University. While I tutor a range of subjects, my favorites are chemistry and physics because I think that they are the most interesting! However, I also help students with math...

...studying Biomedical Science. I have a dual degree from Franklin & Marshall College in Biochemistry and Neuroscience. I have been tutoring for the past 6 years and really enjoy teaching.

I am most comfortable teaching quantitative sciences, although I also have experience teaching standardized tests and more qualitative...

...tailoring my lessons to their specific desired results. I make sure to adapt my lessons to the way my students view the world. For example, for physics and math, some students do better by looking at problems algebraically, while others do better by seeing the world geometrically. Both are valid ways of understanding the world, but by learning which perspective a student prefers, I can ensure that they progress much faster. I like to begin...
