About Me

I am a physicist and a teacher. I have been a Math and Physics teacher and tutor since 2002. I received my master's degree in Physics from University of Puerto Rico in 2009 and in 2015, I received my Ph.D. degree in Physics from University of Rhode Island. During all this time, I engaged in both teaching and research in Physics, which qualifies me to tutor in a broad range of Physics-related subjects for both high school and college students. I have experience teaching Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Oscillations, Waves and Acoustics, Electromagnetism, Optics and Modern Physics. As you may have already inferred, Physics is my passion but I'm even more passionate about teaching it! We all know some Physics already because we interact with nature; so, my approach when teaching and tutoring Physics is to use these pre-conceived ideas as starting point. Then, through discussion, examples, analogies and sometimes Physics demonstrations, we do some course-correcting of those ideas until the student is able to develop the right intuitions. At this point, the student is able to do Physics on their own and my mission has been accomplished!
