Cultivate physics mastery with the patient guidance of a physics graduate who's 'been there'

I earned my bachelor's in physics a few years ago after participating in two different self-directed undergraduate research projects. I love physics, despite the enormous pain it can be. I enjoy helping others solve the same problems I probably struggled with at one point in the past. I hope to help you understand the "why?" behind each "how?" so that you can leverage fundamental concepts in constructing solutions to novel problems. For online sessions, I share my screen and pull up a digital whiteboard to write out problems, solutions, and graphs. I can also snip and paste excerpts from reference material, or anything digital you'd like to share. You can come into sessions with problems you'd like help with, or we can discuss and identify a plan at the start. Feel free to come in unprepared! (Currently only accepting students age 18 or older.

I find no greater joy than helping others reach those "ah-ha!" moments while solving math and physics problems. I'm grateful for any opportunity to help someone achieve their academic goals. It's important work! (Currently only accepting students age 18 or older.
