About Me

I have been tutoring in physics and mathematics since I was college freshman 15 years ago. I graduated from Juniata College with honor is physics and mathematics and have a masters degree in physics from the College of William and Mary. I have tutored numerous students through physics courses, frequently reviewing the algebra, pre-calculus, calculus and differential equations required to navigate physics courses. My favorite part of these tutoring experiences is seeing the moments where big things click for the student. I find that the issues most people have with math and physics are the finer details. By discussing the concepts involved and talking through problems with the student, we can elucidate which details are hindering understanding. While helping the students understanding of the material progress, I also focus on problem solving methods and ways to self-check their work. This approach typically gets the student to a place where they can work more independently and confidently, reducing or eliminating the need for tutoring.

Q&A with Jeremy

When working a problem with a student, I emphasis the process that goes into answering questions of that type. This focus helps the student learn how to tackle the general form of the problem, which is typically transferable to future material. If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do? If possible, I try to break it down into smaller step/pieces that can be tackled individually. However, I find that one typical source of these difficulties is finding a way to present the material that is in tune with how the student learns best. A classroom setting tends to make it difficult to present material in a way that works for all the students all the time.
