Math And Physics Tutoring
About
I have been tutoring since I started my undergraduate physics degree in 2016. I am currently studying physics as a PhD student and have extensive knowledge in math and physics as well as some experience in computer science. I feel that every student is capable, often what is missing is individualized instruction in a way that makes sense to them.
My favorite part of tutoring and teaching is seeing the student understand a new subject. The joy of learning something new is amazing.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I usually begin with a brief review of some of the students course material to get identify where a student is strong and where a student needs help. I feel that every student is capable and usually is only missing the right instruction.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently a masters student in physics. I have been tutoring through my university for 5 years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge a flat rate of $60/hr. I have discounted my rates occasionally for special exceptions.
How did you get started teaching?
I started tutoring as a volunteer at my undergraduate university and loved teaching and helping other students.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have primarly worked with college level students since I started tutoring at my university, but I have worked with a handful of younger students.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a teacher who is knowledgable enough in their field to present information in more than one or two ways. The biggest draw back of modern education is new information is only presented in one or two perspectives and many teachers struggle to make connections.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What subjects am I struggling with? Where am I strong as a student? At what point do I stop understanding the material? If you can pin point exactly where you are getting lost then it really makes filling in the gaps easier. It's ok also if you can't, understanding what you don't know is the first step of learning.
