"Hello! I'm Mohammad, a senior physicist with extensive research and teaching experience, driven by a passion for making physics and math accessible and engaging. I hold a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Missouri, Columbia, where I taught introductory college physics labs and discussion classes for over seven years. During my graduate studies, I also served as a private tutor for a wide range of undergraduate physics and math courses. Additionally, I have been a physics faculty member at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri, and a Lecturer of Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that with the right guidance and dedication, anyone can master math and physics topics. I employ a growth mindset approach, emphasizing interactive and personalized learning experiences that cater to each student's unique needs. My methods focus on building a strong foundational understanding, fostering critical thinking, and practicing problem-solving skills based on George Polya's principles of problem-solving. To learn math and physics effectively, you need to allow yourself to struggle through the problems and embrace the mental stretch beyond your comfort zone. In my classes, you will tackle a range of problems, from easy to challenging, to build confidence. My favorite questions are those that reveal your misconceptions and help you learn deeply.

To ensure a smooth learning experience, I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your goals and tailor a plan that suits you best. I have a 12-hour cancellation policy to accommodate unexpected changes.

If my teaching philosophy resonates with you, feel free to contact me to learn more and schedule your lessons. Let's unlock your full potential together!" less...
