Let's discuss your goals, and see if we're a good fit.

Physics and calculus don't have to feel overwhelming. Whether you are navigating high school coursework, preparing for AP Physics or AP Calculus exams, or tackling college-level material, I am here to make complex concepts make sense.

I hold a Ph.D. in Physics from Penn State and have 8+ years of experience teaching physics and math-based problem solving at the high school and college levels, including at CU Boulder and UC Berkeley. I teach high school, AP, and college-level courses in both Physics (including AP Physics 1, 2, and C) and Calculus.

How I Teach:
Rather than relying on formula memorization or giving away answers, I guide students through a simple 5-step problem-solving framework: Visualize → Knowns & goal → Model → Solve → Assess.

What Working With Me Looks Like:
• AP & Exam Prep: I use past FRQs and official guidelines to help students maximize their points.
• Patient & Interactive: I use analogies, diagrams, and alternative explanations until the concept genuinely clicks.
• Supportive: I meet students at their current level. No question is stupid.

What students have said:
"Before starting I knew I hated physics. Now I enjoy physics, and it's because of you!" — College Student
"She has a hands-on learning curriculum that actively engages students... She makes sure we all understand the material and makes sure no one has questions."— High School Student
