My career thus far has given me an understanding of academic excellence from high school to the graduate level.

I received a BSH in math and physics from Berry College, where I also tutored math, physics, and writing for 7 semesters. I received my PhD in physics from the University of Maryland, where I was a teaching assistant for introductory physics courses for 5 semesters and a graduate writing consultant for 11 semesters.

My career thus far has given me an understanding of academic excellence from high school to the graduate level.

I received a BSH in math and physics from Berry College, where I also tutored math, physics, and writing for 7 semesters. I received my PhD in physics from the University of Maryland, where I was a teaching assistant for introductory physics courses for 5 semesters and a graduate writing consultant for 11 semesters.

I have published research on linear algebra, differential equations, and graph theory. From 2021 to 2025 I taught high school STEM for special needs students. I taught classes including chemistry, physics, computer science, and math ranging from prealgebra to calculus. I worked with several students with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and dyslexia, among other learning disabilities.

When I was in high school I earned 5’s on several AP exams including AP Calculus AB, AP Chemistry, AP Physics B, AP Physics C (Mechanics), and AP Spanish. In high school and college I did competitive mathematics including the Putnam exam. I am fluent in Spanish, having spent 20 years with the language.

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I have tutored dozens of students in precalculus and calculus. I have taught high school students Calculus 1 using a guided inquiry approach. I received a 5 on the AP Calculus AB exam.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I taught high school chemistry during the 2024-2025 school year. In high school I got a 5 on the AP Physics exam. I have taken courses on quantum mechanics.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I researched quantum algorithms for differential equations for my dissertation.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I have a BSH in mathematics and took courses on Proof Structures, Formal Logic, Abstract Algebra, Combinatorics, and Graph Theory. I have published multiple papers in graph theory (you can find these on my Google Scholar page https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=UIh96tEAAAAJ ). My undergraduate thesis studied graphs and partially ordered sets in particle physics. In graduate school I specialized in algorithm development and studied graph theory's uses in quantum information. I have taught high school computer science, including topics like Boolean logic, binary trees, and optimization algorithms.
Finite Math

Finite Math

I have published multiple papers on graph theory, such as "Laplacian matrices and Alexandrov topologies of digraphs", "Non-recursively constructible recursive families of graphs", and "Domination with decay in triangular matchstick arrangement graphs". I have taught computer science courses that cover Boolean logic, data structures (including graphs), and algorithms (including sorting algorithms and graph algorithms). I have taken courses on Proof Structures, Formal Logic, and Linear Algebra, and have done research in linear algebra and quantum algorithms. I have taught probability, statistics, and counting in high school courses including Financial Algebra and Geometry.
Geometry

Geometry

I have taught geometry using guided inquiry methods as well as using active, drawing based methods. I developed and used compass and protractor activities. I am familiar with both middle school and high school geometry standards.
Physics

Physics

I have a PhD in physics. I have tutored dozens of students in AP and university physics. I was a teaching assistant for undergraduate physics classes. I have taught middle school and high school physical science.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have tutored dozens of students in precalculus and calculus. I have coached high school students through full reviews of precalculus. I have taught trigonometry and limits in other math courses.
Quantum Physics

Quantum Physics

I have a PhD in physics and specialized in quantum information. I published several papers on quantum algorithms. I have a patent in trapped ion quantum computing.

amazing tutor

He's great! Helped me get prepared for final in physics. He was patient and able to work with me for quite a while in a session. I would recommend him without reservation.
