Hello! I'm Thomas, and I'm a PhD student in physics at Northwestern. I'm new to professional tutoring, but teaching is my passion. As an undergraduate at North Carolina State University, I volunteered to give weekly lessons to a high school student whose dream is to become a theoretical physicist. It was a rewarding challenge to communicate the ideas of quantum mechanics without using university level vocabulary.

Hello! I'm Thomas, and I'm a PhD student in physics at Northwestern. I'm new to professional tutoring, but teaching is my passion. As an undergraduate at North Carolina State University, I volunteered to give weekly lessons to a high school student whose dream is to become a theoretical physicist. It was a rewarding challenge to communicate the ideas of quantum mechanics without using university level vocabulary.
I understand that learning is hard work. There are no shortcuts. That's why teaching is so much more than explaining an idea. I've taken my passion for learning and applied it to not only my studies, but also martial arts, to music, and even stand-up comedy. I believe every student has an incredible capacity to learn. My role as a tutor is to provide a sense of direction, the WHY that's missing from standard curriculum. My role is also to be a great role model, somebody the student genuinely feels that they have a lot to learn from.
I’m excited to start tutoring and to help you or your child build both a deeper understanding of the material and confidence in their own ability to learn it.
