"I can teach General Relativity to an English major, and I can help physics students write essays for law school (I’ve done both). I specialize in taking hard concepts and making them relatable to anyone. Every person has a unique way of peering into the world and seeing wonder. Whatever subject you're studying, I discover how you learn, and then I translate that subject in words and language that makes sense to you. Together we build confidence one problem and one sentence at a time.

I have been working with students as a teacher and tutor for nearly 12 years. I began by teaching high school physics and math at a classical school in Washington, D.C. Later when I returned to grad school and moved to Los Angeles, I switched to tutoring evenings and nights so I could learn during the day.

You can see many of the topics I teach below, but I specialize in working with students in math, science, humanities, and SAT/ACT test prep. If you need help with any middle and high school (except foreign language) subjects or with college intro classes in math, physics, chemistry, or statistics, I can help things make a bit more sense. I have worked with students from public and private high schools, community colleges like Pasadena City College and Wake Tech, or at universities such as USC, UCLA, UNC, Duke, and NC State. My high school students have gone on to Stanford, Berkeley, Michigan, Washington, Boston College, Virginia, UNC, Duke, Princeton, Cal-Poly, Clemson, Davidson, Loyola, Georgetown, George Washington, UNCW, and many more schools in the US and around the world.

I moved back to the Raleigh area after 7 years in California. Instead of flying, I took a two-week road trip across the country, traveling through Nevada, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. I am also a photographer, and seeing these great American landscapes was a dream come true.

Please send me a message and we can chat over the phone about how I can help you reach your goals!" less...
