John

What makes John effective in college physics isn't a traditional engineering or physics degree — it's the fact that he teaches across calculus, AP Physics 1, AP Physics C: Mechanics, and IB Physics simultaneously, which means he's constantly translating the same core concepts (projectile motion, energy conservation, electric fields) across different levels of mathematical rigor. That range gives him an unusually clear sense of where the conceptual gaps are when a student can follow a derivation but can't set up the problem from scratch. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am a graduate of Georgetown University where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in International Politics with a concentration on Foreign Policy. I also earned a Certificate in Latin American Studies and am a member of Pi Sigma Alpha, The National Political Science Honor Society. I have experience tutoring students in both the SAT and the SSAT. Additionally, my time as an 8th Grade Science teacher here in Dallas has prepared me for the curriculum and challenges facing students in the area. While I offer tutoring in a broad range of subjects from foreign languages to grammar and writing to math and science, I find Physics to be the most enjoyable subject to teach. I see Physics as the science that allows all the other sciences to occur, and I find it helpful to use Physics demonstrations when studying the subject. When it comes to tutoring, I believe that whoever is doing the talking is doing the learning, so my students will be doing the leg work when it comes to their learning. I believe that every student can achieve success in school; each student just learns at their own pace and in their own way. When I have free time, I enjoy reading a good book, playing a game of tennis, or participating in or watching theatrical events.
