"Hi, I'm Noah! I have over 5 years of professional experience as a math and physics tutor. I've worked with students of all ages and backgrounds, but now focus primarily on those in high school, college, and continuing education. I hold a B.S. in Physics from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Maryland. In addition to my years tutoring, I've lectured and TA-ed courses at the undergraduate and graduate level.

I view tutoring as an effective supplement to in-class lectures, online coursework, etc. rather than as a substitute. Because we're working one-on-one, I can focus on engaging students in active learning, which is often missing in those other educational contexts. I'll help break down confusing topics into smaller, more manageable chunks tailored specifically for each student.

I focus on instilling independence and confidence in those I tutor: I've encountered many new students that come to me feeling helpless, like they just can't get their head around some topic or that a class is just impossible. I work hard to break down those walls and empower my students to help themselves by adapting the pace of the learning and simplifying things to the point where the students can work through them.

When tutoring, I strive not just to rehash information presented in class or a textbook; instead, I also focus on designing problem-solving techniques and study strategies for each individual student. These skills, while just as essential to academic success, are often neglected in a classroom setting, and students are otherwise expected to figure them out on their own.

If you're at all interested in employing my services, you can send me a message to set up a free consultation. I'm always easy to reach and respond promptly.

I look forward to meeting you!" less...
