I began my career as a high school physics teacher, spending seven years teaching College Prep Physics as well as AP Physics 1, 2, and AP Physics C. My classroom emphasized inquiry-based learning, where students built both conceptual and mathematical understanding through discussion, experimentation, and evidence-based reasoning. This approach led to strong outcomes, including AP pass rates as high as 90%, and helped me develop a clear, structured way of explaining even the most challenging topics. I also served as an AP Physics Reader, grading over 20,000 free-response exams, which gave me deep insight into how students are assessed and where they commonly struggle.
After the classroom, I transitioned into educational technology, where I continued teaching at scale by designing curriculum and improving how students interact with physics content online. I authored dozens of physics activities spanning conceptual to calculus-based levels and worked closely with engineering teams to build tools that reduce confusion and support learning. My work in technical support and QA also strengthened my ability to quickly diagnose misunderstandings and guide students toward clarity.
Today, I bring both perspectives into my tutoring: the structure and clarity of an experienced AP Physics teacher combined with a problem-solving mindset shaped by years in edtech. My goal is not just to help students get the right answer, but to help them understand why it works, build confidence, and develop lasting problem-solving skills.
