Experienced Physics & Math Tutor | Former PhD Student

Jack C.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Physics with a minor in Mathematics from Lake Forest College, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude and was on the Dean’s List from 2019 to 2023. Throughout my academic career, I have developed a strong foundation in physics and mathematics, which I have applied in both research and teaching roles.

My teaching experience includes serving as a Physics Tutor at Lake Forest College, where I worked one-on-one with students to strengthen their understanding of key concepts in mechanics, electromagnetism, and mathematical problem-solving. I tailored my approach to individual learning styles, breaking down complex topics into digestible explanations while fostering critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills.

Additionally, I was an Orientation Leader, where I developed strong mentorship and communication skills, guiding new students through academic and social transitions. My ability to explain concepts clearly and adapt to different student needs has been further honed through my role as a Graduate Research Assistant at Georgia Tech, where I collaborated with peers and faculty on technical problem-solving in robotics and optimization algorithms.

I have experience tutoring college-level students but am also comfortable working with high school students preparing for advanced physics and math coursework. My approach prioritizes conceptual understanding, step-by-step problem-solving, and confidence-building, ensuring that students develop long-term proficiency rather than rote memorization.

I am passionate about education and committed to helping students develop analytical skills, resilience, and a deeper appreciation for physics and mathematics.
