"Are you struggling in a difficult course and need some guidance?
I typically work with high school and college students primarily in math, physics, chemistry, and statistics. I have a BS in math and physics from Yale and a PhD in statistical physics from Harvard. I'm excellent at being able to explain challenging concepts to people of all levels and abilities. As of this writing, I’ve tutored more...
"Are you struggling in a difficult course and need some guidance?
I typically work with high school and college students primarily in math, physics, chemistry, and statistics. I have a BS in math and physics from Yale and a PhD in statistical physics from Harvard. I'm excellent at being able to explain challenging concepts to people of all levels and abilities. As of this writing, I’ve tutored over 3000 hours with Wyzant and have over 1000 five star ratings. and focus on problem solving (including proofs in proof-based courses) to help you develop your skills. I have a variety of different styles of teaching that can be customized to the way you learn best. My sessions are very efficient, but I can slow down when needed to, for example, understand how you are thinking about a concept so I can figure out what you are missing, or to explain a concept with which you are having difficulty. I really enjoy helping people!
I’m able to help with challenging material: my undergraduate GPA was 3.94 and my graduate GPA was 3.97. I was one of 4 US students chosen to attend the International Chemistry Olympiad, and was top 20 at the US Physics Olympiad and top 50 at the US Math Olympiad.
I can help in a variety of scenarios, whether you are struggling or are looking to excel or for a deeper understanding, if you are preparing for AP exams or SAT / GRE / GMAT / MCAT, or are preparing for competitions such as the AMC or AIME, F=ma, or the Chemistry Olympiad. I also frequently have students who just want to learn something new or are planning to go back to school in a new subject and need to review. Feel free to reach out and we can discuss the situation!" less...
