About Robin


Bio

Hi, I'm Robin. I have a Bachelor's degree in Physics with a minor in math from the University of Akron. I also have 5 years of graduate work in Optical Sciences in the College of Optical Sciences, at the University of Arizona. I have several years of teaching experience, both in a one-on-one setting as a tutor for high school and college students, and in a classroom setting teaching college level math, optics, and physics as a teaching assistant. I also have experience working in optics...

Hi, I'm Robin. I have a Bachelor's degree in Physics with a minor in math from the University of Akron. I also have 5 years of graduate work in Optical Sciences in the College of Optical Sciences, at the University of Arizona. I have several years of teaching experience, both in a one-on-one setting as a tutor for high school and college students, and in a classroom setting teaching college level math, optics, and physics as a teaching assistant. I also have experience working in optics at NASA and universities and working in applying physics to aerospace projects in industry.

My teaching is focused on the student's unique needs, and I like to use real world examples to bring a more clear understanding of theories and principles of optics, physics, and math to my students. I want my students to not only understand what they're reading and solving but to also be able to visualize what the subject matter is telling them and to understand why that subject matter is important and useful.

I'm available to tutor in person as well as online via Wyzant's Online Tutoring platform, and I'm available most hours of the day and night.

Please note that I cannot help my students take tests. I cannot make any exceptions on this point.

I've studied, worked in, and tutored physics for the last 18 years. There's nothing I enjoy more than physics. My work experience in physics includes work at NASA and in industry. I've taught physics at the undergraduate level and have tutored students in high school and college. Whether your taking calculus based physics or algebra based physics, I can help you. Whether it's AP Physics, Physics 101, Physics 102, optics, or electrodynamics, I can help. I can bring my enthusiasm for physics to bear to help you. I'm available most hours of the day and am happy to tutor in person or via Wyzant's Online tutoring platform. I hope to hear from you!

Very helpful

Robin has been working with my son, who's a high school senior taking AP physics. Robin's very responsive and my son enjoys working with him and finds the sessions very helpful.

Physics

Robin was a good tutor, but he doesn’t teach the same way than my daughter learns in NY school, so my daughter said she was a little confused. Thank you anyway for your time.

Great l!

My daughter loves his tutoring sessions. She said he’s clear, knowledgeable and patient. I definitely recommend him as a tutor. Wish we found him earlier in the school year.

Rachelle, 8 lessons with Robin

Knowledgeable and Effective

My daughter has had 2 sessions with Robin. He was not only great at explaining how to solve a physics problem but also came up with additonal problems to help my daughter solidify challenging concepts.

amazing tutor

very patient, reliable, explains well, reasons and works hard to help you understand before moving on. 10/10 would recommend for any and all subject relating to math

Knowledgeable and thorough

Robin is always available when I need him. He provides sound information and is very patient. Calc 2 is a little easier when he is around. This is my 2nd semester with him and I see no end in sight.

Myles, 14 lessons with Robin

Amazing

My son was struggling with understanding AP Physics but one session with Robin and he said he finally understood! Robin took the time to patiently help him solve the problems step by step ensuring my son understood each step. A light bulb went on for my son and he was all smiles!

Knowledgeable and Patient !

My daughter takes AP Physics class from Robin and she always feel accomplished after the class. Robin is an excellent teacher with exceptional knowledge, empathy and patience.

Anonymous, 12 lessons with Robin

Very patience and clear with explaining concepts which help student understand the questions

First time ever that my daughter speaks highly of a tutor. Robin helps to clarify and relate concepts in Unit 1 (AP Physics 1) to the questions she had worked on, and which reinforces her understanding. The topics include vectors, displacement, velocity, acceleration, etc.
