Hello! I'm a full-time Chemistry, Physics, and Math tutor with over 13 years of experience helping hundreds of high school and college students succeed. My teaching approach centers on a love of learning, intellectual curiosity, and a diverse range of academic interests with the goal being to help students become adaptable and independent learners who appreciate a challenge.

College: I help with General Physics 1 and 2 (Mechanics and E&M, both Algebra- and Calculus-based), General Chemistry 1 and 2, and all Math courses up through Calculus 2.
Middle/High School: I help with Physics (including AP Physics 1, 2 and C), Chemistry (including AP Chemistry) and all Math courses (including AP Calculus AB and BC).

I have a dual degree in Physics and Chemistry with a minor in Mathematics. I later worked as a graduate Physics teaching assistant at a local university for seven semesters, teaching 60 undergraduates at a time before being promoted to a Supervising TA position. I've been independently tutoring science and math in many capacities since 2011.

Though challenging by design, learning should also be a positive and empowering experience. I don't just give students the answers - I ask questions to help guide them towards the solution using the given information and the concepts they know. After students develop a strong foundation, I've found they have far greater confidence in their own abilities and don't find problems nearly as intimidating.

As needed, I create lesson plans tailored to their unique learning needs and provide carefully selected problems for them to try between lessons. We can make great progress during our sessions together, but I always expect my students to continue putting in the work on their own. Persistent exposure is key to mastering any life skill! I’ve received overwhelmingly positive reviews for my patient, easy-going attitude and flexible style of teaching. Feel free to send me a message so that we can discuss your learning goals!

Truly cares about his students

My son has been meeting with Evan twice a week for the past month and it has made an amazing difference in his Algebra work. He scored 100% on his midterm and I know that would not have been possible without the extra help he got from meeting with Evan. I appreciate that I get detailed feedback from Evan after each of their sessions and it has helped my son to focus on the right things.

Isabel, 111 lessons with Evan

Thorough and knowledgeable

Evan is extremely experienced and knowledgeable tutor. Wasted no time diving into AP Physics, knew exactly what to teach, sent plenty of follow up examples for my son to practice on his own time. Thorough explanations. I immediately booked for another session as soon as our first one ended!

JoAnn, 9 lessons with Evan

Extremely intelligent

Evan is extremely intelligent and organized. He prepares for the sessions ahead of time and provides comprehensive overviews of the subject matter as well as practice exam questions. His knowledge of a variety of subjects is impressive.

Penny, 46 lessons with Evan

1st class review

Evan came prepared with content and style to help my son with his geometry work. He quickly recognized how to engage my son. Hoping this will evolve into a good long term relationship.

best money spent in awhile

My son has been working with Evan for several months now and it's not unusual for him to ask for "extra" sessions. I never thought I would see the day my teen enjoys tutoring but here we are. Thanks Evan!

Monica, 140 lessons with Evan

excellent tutor

My son has been working with Evan for months. Tonight I asked him for an update. His response "I wish Even could teach me every subject. I like working with him." For a teen to give a compliant....speaks for itself. We are highly satisfied with Evan.

Monica, 140 lessons with Evan

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful

Takes the time to thoroughly go over the subject matter and follow up with additional details to be sure there is good comprehension of the lesson. Prompt and dependable

Yolanda, 60 lessons with Evan

Excellent on line learning

Evan has provided high quality lessons to both my daughters. Not only he explains the topics but he gives useful exercises to practice on their own giving motivation to work. Last year with only a few sessions he helped to achieve top scores in the finals. We highly recommend Evan

Athanasia , 34 lessons with Evan

Experienced Math & Science Tutor Providing Confidence and Clarity

Great tutor, he helped my daughter really start to understand what was going on in her chemistry subject, not just how to solve the problems. He would have plenty of additional questions for her to answer and his feedback was honest and concise. She ended with an A in the course. We are very thankful for Evan.

Chidi, 70 lessons with Evan

get with adolescent clients

Very pleased with Evan and his connection with my son as he seems to have a great way to get into the teenage mind and show him not only the importance of math and science but how the process makes sense. My son doesn’t mind tutoring at all which confirms we found the right person for our son. Thanks Evan.
