"I enjoy helping students understand and appreciate the beauty of physics and mathematics. My teaching approach combines theory with practice. To the extent possible, I try to explain the theoretical underpinnings of a concept so that students have a firm grasp of that concept in order to apply it to contexts both familiar and unfamiliar. Simultaneously, I also emphasize problem solving where students sharpen their technical skills in a given discipline. Subjects that I have taught include AP Physics 1 & 2, AP Physics C Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism, AP Calculus AB and BC, Geometry, SAT Math, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra.

Some student testimonials:

"Phong is a very good teacher! I learned so much about physics from him. His teaching method is very thorough and he cares about how you perform/learn. It is easy to approach him for questions and he is super helpful and clear when he answers the question."

"Mr. Phong was a wonderful teacher who was extremely knowledgeable in the STEM subjects. His explanations are clear and easy to understand, and his class allows students to not only get the explanations but also work first-hand with questions given at a pace that matches the students' speeds." less...
