About your tutor

I have successfully guided around 300 students toward a deeper understanding and confidence in physics. With 3+ years of experience teaching AP Physics 1 to high school students, My tutoring approach is centered on making physics accessible and engaging by breaking down complex concepts into manageable parts and connecting theory to real-world applications. I believe that every student learns differently, so I adapt my methods to match individual needs, whether through visual aids, interactive problem-solving, or step-by-step explanations. My goal is to foster critical thinking and a genuine interest in physics, equipping students with the tools to tackle challenging problems independently. Known for my patience, clarity, and supportive teaching style, I create a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing difficulties. I also emphasize strategic test preparation, helping students master both content and test-taking techniques for AP success. In addition to AP Physics 1, I am skilled in related subjects, providing students with a well-rounded physics foundation that serves them across their academic journey.

Teaching methodology

My teaching methodology for AP Physics 1 centers on communication, flexibility, integrity, accountability, and positivity. I prioritize clear, open communication, ensuring that each student feels comfortable discussing difficulties and asking questions. By tailoring lessons to suit individual learning styles and pacing, I make challenging physics concepts accessible and manageable, adapting my approach based on students needs. Integrity and accountability are at the core of my sessions; I am transparent about each students progress, providing constructive feedback and setting realistic, achievable goals. I hold students accountable to their growth while creating a positive, encouraging environment that motivates them to push their limits and gain confidence in their skills. I also make physics engaging by connecting abstract concepts to real-world examples, deepening understanding. In addition to AP Physics 1, I’m equipped to support students in related subjects, ensuring they build a strong foundation in physics and analytical thinking.
