236 Los Altos Physics Tutors

...I have a master's degree in chemical engineering from MIT. For this I took several classes in differential equations. I got a better understanding of the material when I had to apply the concepts in physics and chemistry classes. I also used differential equations in my professional career, solving complex real-world problems. I studied organic... read more

...It may sound clichéd, but I don’t want my classes to feel like a class, but rather a forum for building on ideas and providing access, in many ways an inspiration for Piazza, which my daughter Pooja Nath Sankar founded here in Silicon Valley and is used across 400 universities today. I love teaching physics and have both taught and conducted research... read more

Thanks for taking the time to review my profile. I'm a full-time scientist (Ph.D., Materials Science and B.S. physics) and a part-time adjunct faculty professor at SJSU with more than fifteen years' experience. Tutoring paid for my undergraduate work and it's something I've continued to do as I enjoy connecting to students 1:1. Working full-time... read more

...Topics I teach are: Enzyme structure, function, specificity and regulation; basic metabolism; DNA and protein structure, function and synthesis; Eukaryotic cell organization and gene expression; Microbiology of Fungi; Virus Structure and life cycle; Prokaryotic cell structure, growth, physiology and genetics; Eukaryotic cell components structure... read more

...I have been tutoring for the past eleven years in physics, Math, and Chemistry. I started tutoring when I was an undergrad in Electrical Engineering at UC Berkeley. At first, I started helping my friends with their classes in math, physics, and chemistry. As I continued working with them, they kept telling me things such as "You should really consider... read more
