"I am a certified high school science and engineering teacher with over 25 years of experience, both in public and private schools. For the past years 23 years I have been a member of the North Kingstown High School Science department. I also taught at Austin Preparatory School, a private, co-ed catholic school in Reading, Massachusetts, for 5 years. My teaching/tutoring experience includes Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, and Robotics. I am also a certified Project Lead the Way (PLTW) teacher for the following courses within the PLTW Curriculum: Engineering Essentials, Principles of Engineering, Civil Engineering and Architecture, Aetospace Engineering, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, and Digital Electronics.

Students in my classes perform well on their respective end of course assessments and always come back to me saying that by taking my class in high school they were well prepared for the same course in college. The overwhelming majority of my AP Physics 1 students pass the AP Exam with close to 70% of them scoring a 4 or 5, which is well above the state, national, and world averages.

My philosophy in tutoring is to try to get to know a student and what it takes for them to understand the topics at hand, understanding that this may change from course to course or topic to topic. From there I aim to have students personalize the concepts while understanding the "why's" rather than the "what's". I feel that this method will make a student understand the principles and be able to apply them to different themes and topics within a course.

I am available for tutoring during after school and evening hours, both in person and online. I also offer group rates to students within the same class." less...
