I am a professional physicist who has taught college level physics and mathematics, and tutored at the high school level. I started tutoring when I was a stay-at-home dad and I was looking for an excuse to get out of the house. Now I tutor during the summer when I'm not teaching full time. I can help with college math or physics, as well as preparation for AP and Regents exams.

I really like teaching one-on-one, especially when we get to the "oh, I get it." My goal is to help you learn the material both so that you can understand it, and so that you can apply it -- for doing homework, for taking exams, or for preparation for future coursework or employment.

In addition to physics and math, I can also provide instruction in computer programming, computer networking, and the Unix operating system, including Linux. If you have some previous programming experience I can teach you how to write Apps for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, or how to build your own computer. If you don't have previous programming experience I can help you get started by learning JavaScript in your web browser.

Computer Programming

I can help you learn to program computers in many computer languages. If you are completely new to programming then one good way to get started is to learn JavaScript, which is the scripting language used by web browsers. It doesn't matter whether you have a Mac or PC, or use Internet Explorer or Firefox or Chrome or Safari. They all use JavaScript, so you already have the tools on your computer to learn programming. With JavaScript you can also learn object-oriented programming methods, which... Read More

Linux

I have been using Linux and administering Linux systems for about 15 years, both for my work (I am a physicist) and for my home computers. I've built several of my own computers, including one which has a TV tuner card and runs home entertainment software. I run my own web and e-mail servers from my home using Linux.

If you are just getting started with Linux, I can help you choose the distribution that is right for your needs and interests, and I can help you with the installation... Read More

Macintosh

I can help you learn how to create apps for iOS devices - iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch - and sell them (or give them away for free) via the Apple App Store. I have been developing iOS apps for over two years, and I currently have two apps on sale in the App Store and several more in development.

iOS apps are written in Objective-C, an object-oriented extension of the C programming language. You do not need to know Objective-C or C before you begin to learn iOS programming -- you can... Read More

Regents

Regents Physics

While my classroom experience is in college level physics and mathematics, I also help students prepare for the New York Regents exam in physics. One method I have found to be effective is to work through problems from several previous exams in groups related by topic (e.g., kinematics, dynamics, etc.), and to then focus on those questions which presented the most difficulty. We can work out together a flexible study plan which fits your previous background and the... Read More
