"I have a vast background in math and physics. I have taken what is often considered to be the hardest course in physics (quantum field theory) and I received an A in both semesters. For now, the only philosophy classes I will tutor are logic classes (possibly philosophy of science). I won an award (Robert Long Prize) for a philosophy of physics paper that was largely logic-based.

I started tutoring 20 years ago. I tutor math, physics, and logic. Education is extremely important to me. This is a huge part of why I am pursuing studies of applications of category theory (particularly the teachings of Professor Baez, and more particularly his teachings about teaching, and even more particularly in reference to how category theory can help). This also played an important role in my choosing to fly out to Caltech last summer and work with Professor Marcolli. I believe our education system is overdue for some serious updates. People are starting to teach calculus to random low-income neighborhood grade school children. Areas of mathematics and physics that are currently spoken of as the most difficult to grasp, I am quite sure are being inadvertently and unnecessarily being made and/or mistaken as inaccessible, and one of my top missions in life is to help correct this. I hope this makes clear both how dedicated and confident I am in this regard.
I offer many strategies and many resources, and I make sure we are pursuing whichever the student thinks are best, and I make sure my input is understood as suggestions (communication is key). I ask to make sure at each step that we are on the same page. I am time efficient with respect to whatever the student's short term and long terms goals are. I have taken multiple graduate level courses and audited many more. I have earned only A's in them. I have been pursuing research (multiple projects that I have received funding for from highly competitive research programs, one at NASA, one at the Biophysical Society at UNC-Chapel Hill, two at the Universi" less...
