MBA, BS in Physics, MS in Science Education, 9 years of outstanding teaching. I have a talent for connecting quickly with students to gain an exceptional level of trust. I love what I do and students who work with me experience tremendous benefit, not only in test scores and grades, but also gains in self-confidence and a heightened interest in the broader subjects of STEM.

What I offer:
-Regular course support, K-12 for all levels of Math and Physics.
-Test Preparation: High level, individualized test prep programs for math portions of the SAT/ACT, AP Calculus, AP Physics, high school entrance (SSAT/SHSAT/ISEE), as well as the Regents in Physics or any level of Regents Math.
*APPLIED MATHEMATICS* An enrichment course that exposes students to wide ranging real-world applications of the math as they're encountering each concept at school. My course fosters a deep understanding and interest in Mathematics both as a practical tool and as a means to understand reality. Topics include personal finance, data analysis, programming, economics, biology, physiology, chemistry, physics, earth science and more.

My physics background gives me a special interest for mathematics in nature and I genuinely enjoy sharing my knowledge, which is obvious to students and keeps them highly engaged. I share with my students how particular concepts apply to the world around them, especially in trickier cases. I provide the “how” and “why” that serves to engage curiosity and cement a firm intuition for new concepts.

I’m confident in my ability and in addition to a risk-free first lesson, I’ll fully refund the first 3 paid sessions if you’re not completely satisfied. I may be new to the Wyzant platform, but I’ve experienced consistent, great success across an enormous spectrum of student skill levels and personality. I love to learn and sharing my treasured knowledge doesn’t feel like work, so I’m highly motivated to go the extra mile both in my preparation and in sessions.

If you’re interested in working with me, I’d love to talk

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

While teaching physics for 4 years in Jamaica, Queens. I co-taught an eight-week ACT crash course for our juniors each fall. Students found the class to be surprisingly interesting and engaging. and when it came time for testing, we found that our ACT students consistently scored ~5-10 percentage points higher than their fellow classmates who took a separate SAT course. I know the test quite thoroughly, and students wont just learn the material, but solid strategies that improve their efficiency and handling of many of the tougher question types.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I co-taught Algebra 2 course for 4 years. I'm very solid with the material and am quite familiar with the common patterns and problem types that appear on the exam. I've helped students score upwards of 90 on a regular basis and can do that for you, too!
Geometry

Geometry

I scored in the 99th percentile in the geometry subsection of the Quantitative GMAT. In addition to hundreds of hours of informal geometry tutoring, I logged over 40hrs of geometry tutoring for the SHSAT, ISEE and Regents Exams (August 2019).
Physics

Physics

High performing physics teacher who taught Regents/AP Physics for 4 years in Jamaica, Queens. Although incoming students were severely disadvantaged and lagged academic standards by multiple years, my students quickly forgot their anxiety/avoidance of math, and in a complete reversal, became engaged and motivated and put a ton of effort into what was, in retrospect, an aggressively thick packet of review questions each and every weekend. Students passed the Physics Regents with a 4-year average of 86%, well above city and state averages. And last I heard, a surprising amount were well into the weeds of various STEM intro series at college.
Regents

Regents

As a tutor, I've instructed dozens of students on the fundamentals of geometry, and as a physics teacher in queens, I team taught with our geometry teacher on a daily basis for 4 years, giving me intimate familiarity with geometry in regard to teaching, and prepping/grading the Regents Exam.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I've classified every published problem using my own criteria and have a growing library of official unpublished exams for student practice. I know the content, the shortcuts, the pitfalls that are designed into the test and effective problem solving strategies to keep the student moving, with confident efficiency. I'm kind, patient, and truly enjoy sharing knowledge with students and watching them progress.

Fun, smart, and patient

He’s the best! He brought life to geometry! And taught what usually takes months in a matter of hours, in a clear and understandable way! Will definitely study with again! Highly recommended!

Reuben, 1 lesson with Brian

Brian came to help for the emergency session!

I really appreciate Brian’s help for my son preparing for his physics exam that’s happening the next day. My son said that Brain is most excellent in helping him.

Vivian, 5 lessons with Brian

Knowledgeable and patient

Knowledgeable and patient with my 11 year old son. My son said Brian’s explanations were very helpful and illuminating to him. Very happy with the session. Many thanks!

Asahi, 1 lesson with Brian

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Brian is dedicated and cares about his students. He knows the material very well and makes sure you understand what he's teaching you. I would recommend him to others; he helped me study for the SAT and now I feel more prepared.

Carol, 3 lessons with Brian

Very professional and effective tutor

Brian has been reviewing HS math with my daughter as she prepares for her SAT . His teaching methods keep her motivated and she solves math problems with a deeper understanding. Highly recommend for his skills, knowledge and integrity

Anna, 4 lessons with Brian

Math

Brian was very nice and encouraging and seemed to have a good perspective on what my daughter needs (and doesn’t need) to work on. I’d recommend Brian for your math tutor.

Cici, 2 lessons with Brian

Knowledgeable and dedicated teacher

I’ve been working with Brian for a few weeks on the SAT and he’s been very helpful! He knows the content and is quite good at explaining difficult concepts in a way that makes them stick. He also goes above and beyond and takes time outside of tutoring hours to answer questions and provide additional practice. I highly recommend Brian! 5 Stars
