About Me

Hello Students and Parents, My name is Gary Taylor and I would look forward to assisting you in your exploration of the fascinating world of Physics. I knew that science would be my general topic of interest when I first entered college (many years back), but I didn't want to restrict myself to a single specialized field of engineering, so physics, the root of all engineering disciplines, was my obvious choice. After working in the aerospace industry for a couple of years (gyroscopes and spacecraft re-entry tracking), I returned to school for a master's degree in biomedical engineering. That field is ever-changing and never-ending; what a blast! In 2009 I added a teaching credential (physics and math) to my resume and have been teaching in the classroom and tutoring students one-on-one since then. Actually, my first experience with tutoring was helping my daughters and their friends with their high school math years ago. I learned even then the satisfaction of seeing students "see the light" on some topic that had previously eluded them or simply gaining confidence as they repeated and internalized techniques which allowed them to solve difficult problems on their own. It is a shame that all students cannot learn from a teacher in one-on-one settings or at least in small groups of mutually trusting and motivated classmates. This encourages students to feel comfortable in asking questions and also gives the teacher the advantage of eye contact and body language reading to encourage repeats or different approaches to the material at hand. You are to be commended if you are able to avail yourself of this optimized approach to learning. I would enjoy the opportunity to work with you. Learning can be fun!
