I am a theoretical physicist and I have loved all my life the study of the universe and its secrets through research and continued education. Mathematics and Science have offered modern humans unprecedented awareness. Strong ethical individuals, supported by coherent education and fulfilling work, can sustain peace, produce tangible progress in quality of life and help improve our cultural values. In my opinion an effort to improve this education and our willingness to cooperate and share knowledge with others is a source of happiness and virtue. Promoting an improved rational understanding of the world and the opportunities it opens for young people is why I love tutoring.

I come from a family that values education. My mother, being a Physics professor at high school, gave me the first opportunity to experience teaching and my father created an environment with rich educational resources at home. Their effort to help my education cultivated my natural curiosity and enabled a very successful student life. I always scored in the top 1% in all my classes, homework assignments, high school and university entry exams. Progress in national math competitions allowed me to successfully participate in international math Olympics events before entering university to study Physics. I kept scoring high in exams all my academic life. My parents made possible for me early to take my education in my own hands by cultivating confidence in self study and providing substantial access to educational material. I like to apply what worked for me to my students, adapting to their needs and character.

I firmly believe early well timed assistance protects a student's future in Math and Physics. It prevents learning gaps that prove depressing. You can achieve a breakthrough in self confidence by developing first a strong foundation with organization, frequent practice and disciplined methodology in small steps. Empowered by newfound clarity they get motivated. They gradually recognize they can be good at it. You can use this now

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I have extensively used calculus for many years in physics and helped often others. I have tons of books and other resources on the topic.
Physics

Physics

I am a theoretical physicist and have helped with all kinds of physics and math many ap and university students before and currently.
Precalculus

Precalculus

The material used in Precalculus classes is essential math for more advanced topics like Calculus or Probability theory or Complex analysis, Linear Algebra or even Differential Geometry, etc. (it follows Algebra 1 and 2). Naturally it is impossible to avoid being good at the relevant syllabus if you hope to learn that higher math. I have used techniques from these topics and helped others develop problem solving skills in them for many years. Most importantly i have had training in this kind of math (like discrete math, trigonometry, analytical geometry, etc.) for even math Olympics events as a student. I continue to use that kind of math for all kinds of applications daily it seems too. I enjoy sharing these skills with young students and making them confident that math is their friend and a powerful arsenal for science and real life problems.

calculus

I was struggling with Calculus AB for quite some time. So, my parents and I started looking for a tutor. It was then that we stumbled upon Mr.Sotirios. Mr.Sotirios is amazing! He has single-handedly helped me elevate my knowledge of Calculus, making the subject a lot easier for me to understand and solve problems. However, what sets Mr.Sotirios apart from being just a tutor is passion for teaching and love for math. He has shown me practical calculus applications, including gravitational simulations based on slope fields. I’m incredibly interested in astrophysics, and Mr. Sotirios has nourished my interest by talking with me about space and theories in his free time. I’m so incredibly grateful for meeting Mr. Sotirios. I look forward to my learning journey with Mr. Sotirios

Very knowledgeable and helpful!

Sotirios can cover in short time lot of material in a very easy to understand way! Already had few classes and will continue with more! Highly recommend Sotirios!

Mihaela, 21 lessons with Sotirios

Knowledgable math tutor

Sotirios is an outstanding math tutor who demonstrates deep knowledge and a passion for teaching. He worked with my 12th grader on advanced topics in AP Calculus, making even the most challenging concepts clear and manageable.

Bill, 26 lessons with Sotirios

A great tutor!

He tutors AP Physics (Alg based) for my sons. Sotirios is very approachable and can adjust the teaching style/contents based on the students’ needs. He is very flexible and cares very much for his students. Great tutor.

Waka, 4 lessons with Sotirios

Very thorough tutor with interesting lessons

I love how Sotirios goes into both theory and physics in his lessons! He does a great job of covering the topics thoroughly so that I understand not only the math but also the background of how this information is useful now and in the past/future.

Nicole, 74 lessons with Sotirios

Knowledgeable and helpful tutor

Mr Sotirios has been helping my child with AP Physics and AP Calculus for the past month or so. He is very knowledgeable and patient, and my child has been benefiting greatly from these sessions. I recommend him highly!

Anupama, 7 lessons with Sotirios

Knows his subject

He’s able to explain difficult concepts clearly. Also an enthusiastic positive attitude and willingness to listen and help the student learn.

Alexa, 2 lessons with Sotirios

AP Physics

used linear regression and linearization methods to detect coefficient of friction and force from a fan. We saw how to set up Newton's equations and create expressions involving unknown with acceleration and friction. We proposed several different experiments to obtain the needed problem parameters.

Mong, 24 lessons with Sotirios

Excellent AP Physics tutor

Excellent AP Physics tutor who often goes beyond to make sure student understands the concepts well. He is very patient and stretches to make sure student is able to solve problems of different kind. My daughter's grade improved significantly after Sotirios's tution help. Looking forward to continue lessons with Sotirios.

Sunil, 12 lessons with Sotirios

Sotirios is a great tutor for both AP Physics and Calculus

He helped my son brought his grade up from an F in the beginning to a B at the end of school year. Now he is helping my son with Calculus. Sotirios always encourages my son and has great patience for him.
