About Terence


Bio

I graduated from Georgia State University with a BS in physics. I was the President of SPS society at Georgia State (2014-2015) and have been tutoring physics there for four years. I can also tutor mathematics up to Partial Differential Equations and I'm willing to tutor students of all ages and disabilities. I speak Spanish and French at a moderately advanced level but I prefer to tutor Math or science related subjects.

I like to approach teaching from an intuitive angle and help students...

I graduated from Georgia State University with a BS in physics. I was the President of SPS society at Georgia State (2014-2015) and have been tutoring physics there for four years. I can also tutor mathematics up to Partial Differential Equations and I'm willing to tutor students of all ages and disabilities. I speak Spanish and French at a moderately advanced level but I prefer to tutor Math or science related subjects.

I like to approach teaching from an intuitive angle and help students to see the beauty and joy in learning math and science as well as help them understand where the concepts they learn can be applied in real life. The biggest influences on my thinking are Richard Feynman, Socrates, Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Isaac Asimov, to name a few (in no particular order).

I am also a classical violinist of 19 years and have been giving violin lessons for two years. I can teach violin to students 3 years of age and up.

Physics

Terence has helped my daughter understand concepts such that her grade has improved from a "C" to a "B" in about 5 weeks. She is actually starting to enjoy Physics.
