6 Physics lessons

Boris writes neat and organized notes for my son so he can review them later. Also Boris gives a short physics assignments to my son and reviews the answers the following session. Boris is an excellent physics tutor. I recommend him to every student who is having a difficult time with physics. One thing about Boris, Boris is always late for his tutor sessions with my son (100% late) but he always stays later to make up the time.

Cathy H.

Her Physics scores have improved. Recently Jim worked with my daughter on physics problems and concepts for a quiz the following day. She left that quiz feeling she did well and she did. Other classmates said it was really hard and had a difficult time. Jim identifies problem areas quickly, he has various methods to assist with learning and is patient. He truly understands physics, math and teaching skills. Very personable and professional. I highly recommend him.

Alok S.

25 Physics lessons

Specifically, I am in a mathematical methods in physics course, and topics include, lie groups, lie algebras, vector spaces, tensor operations, isospin, and particle physics. His knowledge of math and physics is broad. I have yet to run into a concept in this class that he cannot help with, and considering this is an advanced course, a tutor with this knowledge depth is hard to find.
