"Proven Results in AP Mathematics & Physics

With 30+ years of teaching experience, I help students achieve exceptional results on AP exams. My AP Physics students average 3.54 (well above national benchmarks) and AP Calculus students consistently average scores of 4.

Real-World Engineering Experience

My 12 years as a Product Manager at Hewlett-Packard brings authentic engineering applications to abstract concepts. Students see how the mathematics and physics they're learning powers the technology that shapes our world - from oscilloscopes measuring electronic signals to rocket trajectory calculations.

Specialized Expertise:

AP Calculus AB/BC

AP Physics 1 & C Mechanics

Pre-Calculus, Algebra II, Geometry

Competition math preparation (coached teams to national rocketry success)

Educational Background:

Master's in Software Development (2023)

BS Electrical Engineering, Magna Cum Laude (University of Missouri)

15+ years high school classroom teaching

Teaching Philosophy:

I focus on building genuine understanding rather than memorizing procedures. Students develop both mathematical competence and confidence through personalized instruction that connects abstract concepts to practical applications.

Student Success Stories:

Recently helped a student on the autism spectrum overcome math anxiety and earn a 4 on AP Calculus AB. The family was so pleased they asked me to continue with both daughters on advanced mathematics.

Available for: Individual tutoring, AP exam preparation, competition math coaching, and anxiety-friendly instruction for students with learning differences." less...
