Bio

I'm a University of Michigan senior about to complete a double major in both chemistry and physics. Having just completed this material at an advanced level, I know exactly where students get stuck and how to get them unstuck fast.
My experience extends past the AP level into organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, relativistic physics and modern physics, giving me a strong foundation for teaching these subjects rigorously but accessibly.

I'm a University of Michigan senior about to complete a double major in both chemistry and physics. Having just completed this material at an advanced level, I know exactly where students get stuck and how to get them unstuck fast.
My experience extends past the AP level into organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, relativistic physics and modern physics, giving me a strong foundation for teaching these subjects rigorously but accessibly.
My approach is simple: find the gap, fix the gap. I skip generic review and build sessions around each student's specific error patterns. Recently, I helped a client raise his AP Physics average from 70% to 92% in three targeted lessons. As the oldest of five siblings, I've learned how to re-explain something from different angles so that it clicks.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy throwing pottery and playing soccer. Feel free to reach out anytime to set up a lesson or a quick introductory call to see if we'd be a good fit.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have consistently earned A+ grades in Algebra 1 at Phillips Academy Andover. My strong foundation in algebra allows me to clearly explain key topics such as equations, graphing, and functions. I have also helped classmates see significant improvement, including helping one student who had a 72% receive a 92% on their final exam in just three lessons. My approach focuses on building both mastery and confidence, so students feel prepared for tests and future math courses.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I received an A+ consistently in my algebra two class at Phillips Academy Andover and have helped many others do the same, using a soft conceptual approach instead of rushing into practice problems without understanding the greater concept.
Calculus

Calculus

I am a current senior at the University of Michigan, and previously earned an A+ in BC Calculus. I have a strong grasp of core concepts such as limits, derivatives, integrals, and applications of calculus. Beyond coursework, I’ve successfully helped clients raise their grades significantly, for example, guiding one student from a 66% to a 91% in just three lessons. My tutoring style focuses on breaking down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps, giving students both the confidence and the tools to succeed.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I’m a senior at the University of Michigan majoring in Chemistry, with coursework in Organic Chemistry, Advanced Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry. In high school, AP Chemistry initially terrified me, but with the help of patient teachers, I gradually learned to see the logic and beauty behind the subject. That experience ultimately led me to major in chemistry. Because I remember what it feels like to be overwhelmed by AP Chem, I focus on explaining difficult concepts patiently and clearly until they start to feel intuitive.
Physics

Physics

I’m a senior at the University of Michigan majoring in Physics, with coursework in special and General Relativity, Advanced Mechanics, Advanced E&M, Quantum Physics, and Physical Chemistry. In high school, AP Physics initially terrified me, but with the help of patient teachers, I gradually learned to see the logic and beauty behind the subject. That experience ultimately led me to major in physics. Because I remember what it feels like to be overwhelmed by AP physics, I focus on explaining difficult concepts patiently and clearly until they start to feel intuitive.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I am a Senior at the University of Michigan, where I have consistently earned top marks in mathematics throughout my academic career. I have over seven years of experience with precalculus concepts and am highly confident in explaining complex topics clearly and effectively. I’ve worked extensively with peers and younger students, helping them build strong foundations in algebra, trigonometry, and functions. My goal is always to make math feel approachable and intuitive for every student I work with.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I scored a 780 on the SAT Math section and attend the University of Michigan, where I’ve taken advanced math courses beyond the AP level. I specialize in using Desmos and targeted test-taking strategies to help students rapidly raise their scores by improving both speed and accuracy under timed conditions. My approach breaks down difficult problems into simple, repeatable steps that work even under pressure. Whether it’s algebra, geometry, or data analysis, I can help you master the skills you need for SAT success.

An outstanding tutor

William has been tutoring my two daughters in math and physics, and the experience has been outstanding. He is responsible, always timely, and consistently communicates progress by sending detailed messages about what has been accomplished each session. William explains the material with clarity and engages his students, making complex topics much easier to understand. It is refreshing to see a bright young man already making such a positive contribution. If you are searching for a reliable tutor, you only need to try William once to be convinced to continue. Highly recommended.

knowledgeable, committed, and patient tutor

Are you worrying about your child’s AP Chemistry class but don’t know how to help? Have you ever had a tutor cancel a session at the last minute—right after checking the materials they were supposed to cover? Or have you received a phone call from a tutoring center apologizing because the material was beyond their tutor's capability? If you have gone through these frustrating experiences (as I have), please consider hiring William as your child’s AP Chemistry tutor! He knows both 'WHAT' and 'HOW'—meaning he is a true master of chemistry who makes complicated topics easy for my high schooler to understand. Not only is he deeply knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher, but he is also incredibly well-prepared, committed, and accountable. He is the right person to count on for AP Chemistry, and we will definitely continue working with him!

Wonderful Tutor!

Very responsive, patient and knowledgeable of physics. So glad he was able to fit my daughter in last minute

Mira, 4 lessons with William

Very helpful!

Thank you for another great lesson. I’m feeling confident for my exam. I really appreciate your help. Looking forward to another one.

Varshini, 11 lessons with William

Very helpful!

William is very easygoing and makes complex topics very simple. My mom is currently getting a transplant, so I stopped attending with tutors who were asking for expensive prices and weren’t even helpful enough for the price usually! Thanks to William for being affordable and actually teaching me at a very appropriate pace while understanding my needs. Genuinely, William is actually better than most of the more expensive tutors I’ve had in the past when I was financially stable, and even more so for the price!
