Have you ever told yourself “I’m not smart enough to learn physics”?

I'm Ethan! As an experienced tutor, I will help you achieve your educational goals. If you answered yes to any of these questions, you've come to the right place!

I graduated magma cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Physics and worked as a volunteer researcher in a condensed matter physics lab. I am CRLA certified and have 4 years of experience working with both high school and college students in the Norco College Upward Bound and STEM Supplemental Instruction Programs.

I first started tutoring at Norco Community College while I attended classes as a student. I learned that many students never reach their potential because they don't believe they have what it takes. Everyone has their own struggles and it does not help that often math and physics are presented in a complicated way.

I am passionate about helping students reach their fullest potential. As a recent student who also struggled with physics, I understand the common misconceptions and what students need in order to successfully complete homework and perform well on tests. I love seeing the moment a student has that insight and they're able to connect with the material.

Physics subjects I tutor:
High school physics
AP Physics 1, 2, and C
College Physics (Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Waves, Optics, Thermodynamics)

I also tutor many subjects in math including:
Algebra 1 and 2
Geometry
Trigonometry
Pre-Calculus

I can also help you prepare for standardized tests such as SAT Math, ACT Math, and the math/physics sections of the MCAT.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at any time.

Approved Subjects

Chemistry

Chemistry

As a Chemistry S.I. Leader, I developed lessons for groups of students enrolled in introductory and general chemistry courses. These lessons were designed to create engaging activities that enhanced their understanding of the material. Additionally, I worked as a laboratory assistant in a biocatalysis lab, where I prepared solutions, operated machinery, and assisted with lab maintenance tasks.
Geometry

Geometry

I have bachelor's degree in physics, which heavily involved principles from geometry.
Physics

Physics

I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of California, Riverside with a G.P.A. of 3.9. I am experienced in the topics of Newtonian Mechanics, Analytical Mechanics, Special Relativity, Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics, Quantum Mechanics, Particle Physics, and Condensed Matter Physics. I participated in research and completed my senior thesis in a Condensed Matter lab specializing in spintronics. My role was to create graphical simulations of antennas and various microtechnologies.

supper helpful

Everything really well explained and clear. I would definitely recommend! I felt that I had a way better understanding of everything after meeting with him

Izzie, 1 lesson with Ethan

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Ethan has tutored me in PHYS 260 and now he is helping me in PHYS 270. He can easily explain and derive equations that allows me to have a deeper understanding of physics. He can answer every question I have and takes great notes which he sends to me after. He definitely helped me pass PHYS 260 and will help me achieve the same thing in PHYS 270.

Really Fantastic Tutor

Extremely well spoken, thorough, focused on comprehension. Has a very clear and extensive knowledge of physics, excellent communication skills, especially turning abstract concepts into tangible learning. I'm really lucky I got to work with Ethan!

Daniel, 6 lessons with Ethan

Knowledgeable and Clear in Teaching

First, I have him tutoring my daughter (senior high) for a Physic AP test and then Physic AP Exam. He's very knowledgeable and very clear in teaching. Unlike others, he covers a lot of things within an hour section which my daughter likes. The best out of it, he takes time to write notes for my daughter to review after each section which is very helpful. We can't say thanks enough but highly recommend him.

Knowledgeable and patient

He was able to take complex information and simplify it, which is the art of an excellent teacher and one that knows their subject matter. He was also able to help me on short notice so I got my work done early!

Excellent Tutor

I have worked with Ethan several times on High School Physics. We worked on Electrical Circuits, Ohms Law, and problems to prepare for Final Exam. He’s very patient and very easy to work with. I learned a lot from him.

excellent tutor.

My 11th grader struggled in physics until he started working with Ethan. His grades went up in just one lesson, and my sons confidence has improved on the subject significantly. We are so pleased.

EXCEPTIONAL TUTOR

My son had been struggling with Physics for a while. Despite extra study sessions and a number of tutors, nothing seemed to help increase the failing Physics grade. He was consistently getting scores between 55-65% on tests. Enter Ethan...there was a 360 degree turn around when Ethan started tutoring my son. After their first session, my son received an 80% on his next test. Ethan is a patient tutor and knows how to get the message across, a true master at his craft. My son has more confidence and is now has a better understanding of the material, which was proven with his most recent test score of 100%. Ethan is amazing and he has put my son on the right track and me at ease!!
