Physics MS, Rice U Chemistry PhD, passionate Physics and Math Tutor

Lorenzo B.

I am Lorenzo! I am a researcher at UCLA with two Masters Degrees in Physics (GPA 4.00, graduated with honors) and a PhD in Chemistry (GPA 4.0). I have successfully tutored tens of High School students in Math and Physics over the years and helped them pass their remedial exams. Later, I also tutored College Students in Math, Physics and Chemistry. In graduate school, I have been a Teaching Assistant for Physics and Chemistry undergraduate and graduate level classes.

I appreciate each student has their own weaknesses and strengths, and I strive to use to the students' advantage to better tailor our discussions and the type of assignments we will be working together. I encourage students to learn big picture notions and their connections: while formulas will always come and go, concepts will then stick. When learning Physics or Maths, being able to apply the notions to solving assignments is crucial to master the subject, so solving selected problems is an essential part of my tutoring strategy.

I go into this by being aware that being tutored is a time and money commitment from the students' side, so I will respect that and honor it professionally. I always try to provide a quick turn-arounds and quick replies, and share notes or materials that I think could be beneficial to students. Also, I welcome feedback from students and parents, and I am happy to adapt tutoring strategy accordingly.

Finally, saw first-hand how teachers who are enthusiastic about their subject motivate students. I had always wanted to go into the Liberal Arts until I crossed paths with two amazing teachers in High School, and I realized that math was exciting after all. I would be thrilled if I could give back and inspire students myself. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or schedule a lesson, can't wait to start working with you!
