About
My service stands out because I try to make the students understand that I not only want them to succeed at their classes, but also beyond that. I want them to know that when they are talking to me I truly have their best interest in mind.
I think every teacher loves the eureka moment students have when they start to understand a topic. But what is even more satisfying is when you see them apply those concepts to other problems. The other amazing moment is when students come up with questions that are not part of the lecture, but you see how they are thinking about the world more analytically, because of what they are learning.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I ask them were they are at. Work with them in an excercise they want help with and see where are they struggling. At the end of the lesson I make recommendations of the topics where they should review and reinforce ideas that helped them overcome the problems. If the student if a recurrent one I ask about the topic they were struggling and provide some examples we can work on.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a masters in physics which gives me a solid background in physics and math. I have TA'ed for laboratory and classroom setting at the university level and I was a physics High School Teacher for a semester.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
It depends on the topics and the scenarios. But you can expect my base rate to be around $35/hour
