Math And Physics Tutoring
About
I am a doctoral student studying medical physics, with prior service in the USAF and an extensive background in math, science, physics, as well as electronic theory and troubleshooting. I look forward to being a tutor students can relate too and get along with, making the learning experience something to look forward to while making academic improvements.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When starting with a new student, I prefer to converse with the student about what it is they find difficult with the material, how they learn best, and how they might prefer to go about gaining proficiency in their material. My teaching style is very conversational, active, and back and forth. The student and I will actively converse about the material, what is being done and how, as well as why. I believe this type of active engagement with material not only helps solidify a student's understanding, but it also develops their critical thinking abilities that are important for exam success.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.S. in Physics with a minor in Mathematics from the University of Houston, and I am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Diagnostic Medical Physics at UTHSCSA. What this means is that I am well versed in all ranges of math and physical science, and I have proven my proficiency in these disciplines.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I prefer to start at a low price, around 20 dollars per 1-2 hour session, and as the student and I determine their needed session frequency and duration I scale my price based on the level of the material being taught as well as the type of tutoring the student may require.
How did you get started teaching?
While attending the University of Houston I was a writing tutor/consultant at the UH Writing Center, and I frequently tutored underclassmen in their math and physics courses.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have mostly worked with students in high school and university, between ages 14-22
