Hi there, let me know if you're interested in setting up some tutoring sessions!
Below is a summary of my qualifications, history, and philosophy regarding tutoring math and physics.
Hope to hear from you soon!
****************** Parent Testimonial ******************
"I highly recommend Jeremy for tutoring in Physics and Math. He has tutored my son in AP Physics and AP Calculus for one semester.
Jeremy is a bright Physics doctoral student (ABD) studying at the Colorado School of Mines.
He enjoys tutoring and is able to communicate complex topics in a simple, pragmatic, and understandable manner.
He emphasizes concepts and methods to solve problems.
He makes sure that his students not only understand how to do the problems but why to approach them in one way or another.
He has a pleasant and personable demeanor that puts his students at ease."

(Father of Student)
****************** Short Biography ******************
I am very personable, outgoing, and especially enthusiastic about learning, science and math, and your success at learning science and math. I am a 31 year old husband, brand new father, and uncle.
I am a 3rd year PhD Student at Colorado School of Mines (CSM) studying Applied Physics; I have completed all coursework and have only to finish my research and write my thesis/dissertation. My research is in nuclear physics and focuses on fission cross section measurements and radiation detection. As an undergraduate I majored in Engineering Physics, and minored in Mathematics both at CSM. So if you (or your family member or friend) go the CSM I have a particularly strong ability to help with many of the math and physics courses as I have taken them myself.
****************** Tutoring ******************
MATH IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT, you can only excel by practice, application, and eagerness to learn.
ANYONE!! CAN BE GOOD AT MATH with the right strategy and attitude!
My tutoring focuses on problem solving strategies, clarifying concepts, learning by example and repetition, homework help, and whatever other tutoring desires you have.
I've tutored for the last 7 years in math, physics, and other related mathematical subjects like engineering and economics.
I am interested in tutoring all ages, from 6th grade algebra and geometry, through AP Calculus/AP Physics, to advanced college mathematics and physics such as thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, differential equations, relativity, particles physics, linear algebra, or probability and statistics, etc.
If you have a course you're interested in; contact me and we'll talk it over.
Specifically, I have tutored:
High school and below:
7th & 8th grade algebra
Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry
AP calculus, AP physics
College and above:
Calculus 1, 2, 3, differential equations, Linear Alegra
Physics 1,2, modern physics(intro to relativity & quantum mechanics), nuclear physics, quantum mechanics, heat transfer, & thermodynamics.
I am available to meet multiple times a week.
