I hold a PhD in Physics with 6 years of post-doctoral research and teaching experience. I have been tutoring intermediate and advanced Math and Physics topics for 15 years and programming for 10 years. This solid foundation and my gift for explaining the difficult and abstract in novel and easy-to-understand ways means that together you and I will dig into concepts and understand them on a deeper level. This approach avoids the so-called "memorization trap", which may help you pass an exam or...

Exceptional, patient physics tutor
I worked with Joel extensively while taking my first semester college physics (for STEM majors) course. He was very good at explaining complex concepts in a simple way, which allowed me to understand them much better. He was also able to show me more elegant ways to approach problems and think about them. He was very easy to schedule, especially around my college schedule where sometimes things would come up or when I would need to change the times of lessons. Working with Joel, I raised my grade about two letter grades and achieved the grade I needed.

Outstanding Tutor
Joel has a comprehensive knowledge on all physics topics making it easy for him to masterfully give tips and help break down problems step by step with the relevant material. He has knowledge of the current coursework and textbooks that most students use and is a very experienced tutor.

Relatable and Knowledgeable
Joel helped me "unstack" a pandas DF and showed me some great shortcuts for working in Jupyter Notebooks. He was on-time, relatable, knowledgable about the subject matter. He had an example setup based on my sample data and beforehand had researched the subject so we could jump right in.

great Physics tutor
Joel helps my 11th grader in honors Physics. He explains the material very clearly and my son says the lessons really help him stay on track.

Very helpful tutor for college calculus
Joel helped me review a final college Calculus project. He really knows the material and even though it was our first time working together he quickly understood the project and helped me a lot. I would highly recommend him.

helpful and caring about the project!
Joel was willing to go above and beyond to help me with the Python project I needed help with. He spent time outside of our scheduled lessons to learn some of the background information needed to help me with the specific application of Python I was struggling with, and he was really helpful in explaining to me the different steps in my code!

Thoroughly expertised, patient, and clear
Joel explained to me difficult college Physics 3 concepts such as differential equations for damped and underdamped motion and oscillators, linear algebra, Fourier series and transform, and normal modes with ease and clarity. He was extremely patient with going over every detail I did not understand, and explained all solving methods in a concise and organized manner. I am very grateful to have Joel's help with getting through my challenging class!

The best tutor my son had ever had.
Joel is amazing. He is by far the best tutor my son has ever had. He has been helping my son throughout high school and now college with highly advanced levels of math and coding. I’d recommend him to everyone.
