About your tutor

I am a dedicated tutor with over 5 years of experience teaching AP Physics 1 to school students. My goal is to make physics understandable and enjoyable, helping students not only pass their exams but also develop a genuine interest in the subject. I have successfully taught many students, adapting my teaching methods to fit their individual learning styles. My tutoring approach focuses on personalized learning, using real-life examples to connect complex concepts to everyday situations. I encourage active participation and discussions, creating an open environment where students feel comfortable asking questions. In addition to AP Physics 1, I also teach related subjects, such as general physics and introductory calculus. My strong communication skills and patience allow me to break down challenging topics, making them more accessible. I am passionate about helping each student achieve their academic goals and build confidence in their abilities. With my support, students can thrive in physics and develop critical thinking skills that will benefit them in all areas of study.

Teaching methodology

My teaching methodology for AP Physics 1 is based on five key principles: Real-life Examples and Case Studies, Motivation, Collaboration, Creativity, and Problem-solving. Real-life Examples and Case Studies: I use practical examples from everyday life to show how physics concepts apply in the real world. This makes learning more relatable and helps students see the importance of what they are studying. Motivation: I focus on inspiring students to engage with the material. By setting achievable goals and celebrating their progress, I help them build confidence and enthusiasm for physics. Collaboration: I encourage students to work together on problems and projects. Group work fosters teamwork and allows students to learn from one another, enhancing their understanding of complex topics. Creativity: I promote creative thinking by challenging students to explore different ways to solve problems. This approach helps them develop a deeper grasp of the subject. Problem-solving: I emphasize hands-on problem-solving techniques, guiding students through the process of tackling physics challenges. This builds critical thinking skills that are essential for success in AP Physics 1 and beyond.
