1 Physics lesson

He helped me with physics 1 for scientists and engineers. In 2 hours he filled a huge gap in my learning. He helped me solve questions I couldn't get and gave me a general outline of steps to follow that is applicable for every problem type I was learning. Great guy, loves what he's doing and loves helping people. Highly recommend him.
