...it should be the same for teaching and learning. Just memorizing formulas and numbers is challenging at best. However, if you learn the real principles, and how they apply to the real world then science and physics is fun. Part of my career has literally been to make science fiction concepts reality or prove with physics and science why they can't be done. I hope I can bring my experience in space missions, in oceanography,...

I was on honor roll every year, I was in the school band in both middle and high school, held...

...by an “Ohh!”). There’s an explanation that does the trick for everybody, and we just have to find it – that’s my teaching philosophy. I like to use lots of analogies and stories in my explanations, because anchoring difficult concepts in everyday experiences makes them much easier to comprehend. In addition to physics, I also enjoy tutoring subjects in math (Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, etc.), and Biology and Chemistry. And in my spare time, I enjoy...

...I have a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree from the University of North Florida.

...applying mathematical methods to the real world, in particular through the study of physics. One of my greatest strengths in this regard is my ability to approach a problem from multiple angles. If the first approach I suggest for a problem isn't clear to a student, I can usually come up with an alternate, sometimes more intuitive way of addressing the same problem. Recreationally, I spend a significant fraction of my time developing my problem-solving...
