"Hello, my name’s Brian. I love sharing my love of math, physics and computer programming with young students, especially those learning those subjects for the first time. I’ve been fortunate to have had inspiring teachers in some formative subjects, and I absolutely understand how a good experience in an introductory class can set the course of a future career. I had a great high school physics teacher and look what I ended up studying.

My experience: I taught undergraduate physics for a year before switching to a research career in computational biophysics (which is basically the intersection of math, physics, biology and computer programming). Throughout I’ve taken numerous tutoring gigs: 2 years at For Love Of Children (inner city tutoring - I had a smart first-grader); undergrad optics, chemistry and physics in individual and group settings at the University of Maryland (1 year); intro physics at MIT for two summers while TA’ing during the semesters; physics at the University of Washington; and calculus and physics at Bellevue Community College prior to teaching there. My degrees are in aerospace engineering and physics (undergrad) and I have a physics PhD as well.

Please drop a line if you’d like help! I can be available almost day." less...
