"Stop struggling with Physics and Engineering—learn from a pro who actually builds what he teaches.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by AP Physics 1 or struggling to bridge the gap between complex math and physical concepts? I am a licensed Chicago educator currently teaching AP Physics 1, with 16 years of teaching experience and 8+ years as a professional Electrical Engineer in the aerospace and telecom industries.

Why Choose a Professional Educator & Engineer? Most tutors know the material, but not everyone knows how to teach it. My approach uses "modeling physics" and design thinking to transform intimidating subjects into accessible, engaging lessons. I specialize in helping students navigate the specific "traps" of the College Board curriculum and building the confidence needed for high-stakes exams.

My Credentials & Expertise:

Licensed Educator: Certified in Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering (Illinois & Colorado).

Engineering Background: B.S. in Electrical Engineering (UIUC); former Education Engineer for SparkFun Electronics.

M.A. in Secondary Science Education (UC Boulder).

Higher Ed Experience: Former Adjunct Professor at Colorado School of Mines (Digital Electronics).

Physics: AP Physics 1, 2, & C, Honors, and IB.

Engineering: Robotics, Microcontrollers (Arduino/ESP32), and PCB Design.

Math: Geometry, Algebra II, and Trig.

Whether you are a high schooler aiming for a 5 on the AP exam or a college student tackling Digital Electronics, I can provide multiple perspectives to help the "lightbulb" go off. I’ve taught everyone from 6-year-olds to college seniors—I know how to adapt to your specific learning style.

I regularly use CAD platforms like Onshape for my own projects. I have developed a wide variety of curriculum for teaching lessons like the Skateboard Design Assignment from Onshape - as well as design for 3D printing!
