As a tutor I have over 15 years of experience teaching students in math and science. Also, I'm a graduate from UC San Diego with a Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear astrophysics. Before that I also completed an A.A. in Computer & Information Science and a B.A. in Physics with minor in Mathematics. My general approach is that practice makes perfect! However, it is important to start with an assessment of the students needs and abilities, and make a plan from there.

As a tutor I have over 15 years of experience teaching students in math and science. Also, I'm a graduate from UC San Diego with a Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear astrophysics. Before that I also completed an A.A. in Computer & Information Science and a B.A. in Physics with minor in Mathematics. My general approach is that practice makes perfect! However, it is important to start with an assessment of the students needs and abilities, and make a plan from there.
I first started tutoring math, computer science, physics, and chemistry at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton for 6 years. This was primarily one-on-one with occasional group sessions. Then I was a teaching assistant in various physics and astronomy courses for about 9 years at Cal State LA and UCSD, where I mostly led group discussion sections. Also, I have also tutored for middle school, high school and college privately on occasion. Lastly, I have been a part-time instructor in physics and astronomy at the college and university level for the past 8 years.
