"I am Senior Lecturer of Physics at Princeton University and creator of the award-winning YouTube channel Physics4Life. I use cutting-edge teaching methods that have helped hundreds of students maximize their learning, and their grades. While I have been teaching at the college level for 12 years, I also work with younger students at all levels of physics and math: Honors and AP Physics, AP Calculus, SAT/ACT/GRE/MCAT prep, college physics, linear algebra, etc. I know what level of knowledge is sought, both to get in and to succeed once in, and I can help you get there.

My students receive a truly unique tutoring experience. I work at the intersection of physics and educational psychology which means that I help students achieve a deep, expert-like understanding physics within just a few sessions.

Most tutors are perfectly adept at explaining physics concepts and answering questions, but this knowledge stays in the short-term memory of students’ brains and doesn’t pass to the long-term, permanent memory. So students may feel they understand something in the moment but struggle to apply the same concepts later on an exam.

In contrast, my methods explicitly teach students how to become more expert-like in their thinking and problem solving. So when *my* students encounter a problem that they have never seen before they do not feel lost, they know exactly what strategies to employ to find the most productive solution.

Of course, all this happens "under the hood," while my students experience a fun and stimulating conversation about physics. Students enjoy our sessions because I am "uncannily good at explaining stuff" and they leave with a deeper understanding and greater confidence. Even students who initially dread taking physics end up appreciating and even loving the subject after working with me, and some have even gone on to become tutors themselves in the very subjects they initially feared!

Please reach out if you have any questions, I look forward to guiding you on your physics/math journey!" less...
