42 Physics lessons

I had never thought that such concepts would be accessible to me so early in my education, and they wouldn’t have been if it weren’t for Mr. N. I knew right then that physics was in my future, for having received a taste of higher level physics, I had the appetite for more. To me Mr. N has been not a tutor but a mentor. To whoever is reading this, I recommend you use Mr. N for whatever math/physics tutoring you need.

1 Physics lesson

Bruce is amazing with his approach and delivery. My daughter enjoyed the time spent with him as well as his humor. My daughter has been struggling with Physics since the beginning of the school year. She has been unable to receive any help from the resources at school. Bruce sat with her for one session, the next day after physics class I received a text from her stating; “I actually understood what he was teaching in physics today.”

My son did not have physics or precalc in high school and was therefore behind the other students in his class. This physics course was required for his major. This was a 6 week summer course and at the end of week 1, my son was flunking this class. I hired Karsten who worked with my son two to three nights a week for the remaining five weeks. Karsten not only got my son to pass physics but also gave him a good fundamental understanding of the principles of physics.
