About Peter


Bio

I spent ten years as an engineer in the Power Production industry.

I have been a physics teacher for the past 30 years.

I will work to engineer your mind and impart the knowledge, skills & abilities needed to add physics to your toolbox and enhance your odds of success in your future pursuits. I am experienced in the identification of misconceptions, adapting to individual learning styles, building on strengths while shoring up weaknesses.

I spent ten years as an engineer in the Power Production industry.

I have been a physics teacher for the past 30 years.

I will work to engineer your mind and impart the knowledge, skills & abilities needed to add physics to your toolbox and enhance your odds of success in your future pursuits. I am experienced in the identification of misconceptions, adapting to individual learning styles, building on strengths while shoring up weaknesses.
It is my passion and has a different approach for each student.

Now that I have retired from teaching in the classroom, I want to continue to offer the breadth of my experience to students that have a passionate interest in and/or are struggling with physics.

I am a certified AP Physics 1 & 2, University of Connecticut Early College Experience (ECE) instructor and have my Connecticut teaching certification in Physics and General Science.

Quote from a former student:
"Then in my junior year I enrolled in what I thought was to be just another science class, but my first year of physics was to change how I viewed my education. That year I was doubly blessed. I obtained my first taste of the world of physics, the field which I now plan to pursue. And, of equal importance, I was scheduled under one of the best teachers that I have had the ability to study under, Mr. Moore. It was his teaching that allowed me to learn the importance of the concept rather than the procedure. As soon as I actually grasped this lesson, everything became vastly simpler. Instead of learning a plethora of formulas that, for all that I knew, could have been plucked from thin air, all that became necessary was learning a few basic relationships and then applying them. One concept took the place of a dozen memorized facts. My grades improved and I began to enjoy the process of education. It became quite a lot of fun to actually understand something new nearly every day. I had to study less, and was still able to meet my own expectations."

Brilliant and responsible tutor

Mr. Moore is a brilliant and responsible tutor. He is always willing to prepare ahead before the tutoring session and communicate after the session, while a lot of tutors aren’t doing neither nowadays. We were very happy to be able to find Mr. Moore after trial lessons with a few other tutors. As a retired high school Physics teacher, Mr. Moore is truly experienced in the Physics curriculum as well as teaching skills. When my daughter is confused with basic IB physics concepts or practice questions, Mr. Moore always helps her out with great patience and knowledge. We recommend Mr. M. to every student who needs help on Physics.

Excellent AP physics tutor

Peter helped my son review for his test. He said he feels ready now as Peter helped him grasp the harder concepts.

AP Physics tutoring. amazing tutor!

Awesome! Peter is my son’s favorite AP Physics tutor. Super smart, explains well, and follow up is great. Thank you!

Knowledgeable, patient and already making an impact

We were so glad to find Peter! Peter is a great fit with my son, who works with him for AP physics. We reached out to Peter in a little bit of desperation after my son did really poorly on his first AP physics test. Peter has been able to make an impact in only the first two weeks. He’s very knowledgeable and has a way of explaining things that makes the concepts more clear. He’s helped Ethan learn the concepts he missed, and has been a great support for learning new content, and reviewing work every week. We look forward to continuing our work with him.

Great Explanations

My son just finished his first lesson with Peter. His review was exceptional, and noted that Peter came exceptionally prepared with practice problems. My son highly recommends him!

AP Physics tutoring. amazing tutor!

I highly recommend Peter for tutoring AP Physics! My son is very picky with who he likes to tutor with and Peter did a great job. Not only did he help my son with the physics material, but he also spent time afterwards sending over extra material to help my son on his own time. Peter is very smart and knows AP Physics inside and out. My son says he is also very easy to understand. Thank you Peter! Highly recommend!

Very encouraging and generous with his time

Peter worked with my child on the first unit of AP Physics1. He provided postive feedback and went over time just so they could finish the FRQ they were working on. Thank you!

Great Physics Teacher

My student liked that Peter approached the lessons in a problem solving approach vs a lecture. It made Physics applicable. Peter leverages the student’s strengths and interests to connect the dots with the physics lesson, very effective!
