"About Me

I’m Dr. JY, a physicist, electrical engineer, and experienced Princeton Ph.D. tutor with U.S. patents and a lifelong love of teaching.

I hold both Ph.D. and M.S.E.E. in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University with minor in Physics. My B.S. is in Theoretical Physics, and I’ve had the unique privilege of studying under six Nobel laureates.

I taught as a university teaching assistant at Princeton and Caltech, and have tutored in physics and mathematics since 2003, before online learning became popular. Teaching is my passion.

Teaching Philosophy

As a physics and math tutor and instructor online, my teaching style is results-driven, encouraging, and individually tailored to each student’s goals and background. I emphasize both a solid grasp of core concepts and the problem-solving techniques needed for top exam performance.

Whenever possible, I guide students through scientific exploration and discovery, mirroring how a professional physicist approaches challenges. This process not only improves understanding and confidence but also helps students develop curiosity, analytical thinking, and learning skills.

My ultimate goal is to make physics and mathematics clear, rewarding and inspiring so that each student leaves our sessions more capable and confident than when they arrived.

Subjects

I offer comprehensive tutoring in physics and mathematics, from middle school, high school to college level, including:

•Physics: AP Physics 1/2/C, SAT Subject Physics, GRE Physics, MCAT Physics

•Mathematics: Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, AP Calculus AB/BC, SAT Math, SAT Subject Math

Whether you’re preparing for the AP, SAT, MCAT or GRE exams, or simply want to strengthen your foundational understanding, I’ll create a personalized learning plan designed to help you excel. I teach one-on-one sessions, small groups, and can adapt effectively to larger classroom settings.
