"NOTE: Due to my new job, I have had to limit my availability for tutoring to a smaller number of hours starting in Fall 2025. Other times, besides my listed ones, can be done by special arrangement with me.

Take advantage of my expertise, but without the Expertise Effect!

(Expertise Effect: where teachers experienced in a subject forget what it is like to encounter the material for the first time)

-- I have organized and taught introductory physics in many classes (both with and without calculus), and *specialize* in presenting this material (in preview), from the ground up, as it would be seen in a class

-- I have thorough experience with all introductory subjects, so I am VERY comfortable presenting this information in a class-like format (perfect for review or preparation for ANY AP Exam)

-- I have honed and developed (from the many questions I have been asked by students over the years) the best ways to make even tricky physics topics easier to grasp, and make problems easier to solve.

-- AND I remember what it was like to see physics for the first time

I am currently the physics teacher at Hollis-Brookline High School in New Hampshire. I have recent college teaching experience at Southern New Hampshire University, Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts and Daniel Webster College in New Hampshire.

I work at all levels of fundamental physics: AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Physics C (Mechanics and EM), IB Physics, General Physics I, General Physics II, and Modern Physics.

My goal in tutoring, that I think will help students most, is giving what I call a "visceral" understanding of the material. What *is* moment of inertia? What *is* electric potential, and why is it used? What *is* flux, and why is it so important? More than just defining concept with formulas, I try to give them context and meaning. This gives students something to "grab onto," so that the variables in the formulas start to exist not just as numbers but as things in the world." less...
