Physics Lessons in Altamonte Springs. Amazing Teachers.

Physics lessons with me are unique because I have an extensive background in physics, which allows me to explain concepts in both abstract and concrete ways to match the needs of the student. In the year since I graduated from Boston College with a degree in physics and moved to Florida, I have tutored 2 students in college level physics and 1 high school AP physics student. Teaching physics is a challenge because the content is not concrete or straightforward. The questions are vague, abstract, and often puzzles for the student to solve. Therefore tutoring physics is not about showing the students equations or step by step processes because even for 2 problems of the same type, the steps will not be the same; rather, is about teaching the students how to think abstractly in order to accomplish these tasks themselves, rather than dissect each question for them. My lessons may involve some silence, head scratching, and erasing at times when I am pushing the students to think for ...

I have taught at several Universities including Cornell University. I have also been a Professional Tutor for many years as well.

Anything from the fundamentals of atomic structure to the numerical solutions of non-linear partial differential equations.

I have taught physics and am still certified. I am familiar with the standards for physics and know how to connect the academic standards to practical applications.

I am a certified Physics teacher and curriculum writer. I have a passion for teaching Physics and I am able to break down the concepts to make them easy to understand. Additionally, I have a lot of laboratory materials.

Physics is the very first subject I began teaching - it is without a doubt my favorite subject. I have experience teaching physics at -

College level - Physics I and II - with or without calculus.
High School - Honors Physics and College Prep Physics along with AP Physics (both Mechanics and Electro-magnetics).

Test Prep - SAT Physics Subject Test, MCAT Physics (Medical School Entrance Exam), and AP Physics.

I've had several students get 800's on the SAT Physics Subject test and countless more get a 700+.
