About William

Bio

Hi I'm Will! I specialize in making tough concepts click – fast. In AP physics tutoring, I helped my classmate Joshua go from a 70% test average to an 88% on his final in only three lessons by conducting focused tutoring sessions and by creating a customized study plan for him to follow between meetings. I’ve scored a 780 on the SAT Math section, by using Desmos effectively and implementing advanced test-taking strategies to save time and maximize accuracy.

Hi I'm Will! I specialize in making tough concepts click – fast. In AP physics tutoring, I helped my classmate Joshua go from a 70% test average to an 88% on his final in only three lessons by conducting focused tutoring sessions and by creating a customized study plan for him to follow between meetings. I’ve scored a 780 on the SAT Math section, by using Desmos effectively and implementing advanced test-taking strategies to save time and maximize accuracy.

I’m a student at a top college-preparatory boarding school in Andover, Massachusetts, with recent, in-depth experience in AP Chemistry, AP Physics C (Mechanics & E&M), and organic chemistry. Because I’ve learned this material recently, I know exactly where students struggle — and how to explain it in clear, simple steps.

As the oldest of five siblings, I’ve spent years breaking down complex topics into clear, simple steps, especially for students who need encouragement and guidance, not a boring seminar. My goal is to make learning less stressful, more effective, and even enjoyable by connecting it to real-world examples that make the material more relatable, interesting, and engaging.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy playing the bagpipes and competing as a member of Andover’s Ultimate Frisbee team. I’ve been playing the bagpipes for seven years, and I love jamming with friends until we lose track of time. I picked up Ultimate just this past year, and its welcoming, tight-knit community quickly got me hooked. I can’t wait for the season to start each spring.

Contact me if you’re looking for a kind, encouraging tutor who can help rapidly boost your test scores, improve your grades, and make learning less stressful and even enjoyable!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have consistently earned A+ grades in Algebra 1 at Phillips Academy Andover. My strong foundation in algebra allows me to clearly explain key topics such as equations, graphing, and functions. I have also helped classmates see significant improvement, including helping one student who had a 72% receive a 92% on their final exam in just three lessons. My approach focuses on building both mastery and confidence, so students feel prepared for tests and future math courses.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I received an A+ consistently in my algebra two class at Phillips Academy Andover and have helped many others do the same, using a soft conceptual approach instead of rushing into practice problems without understanding the greater concept.
Calculus

Calculus

I am a current student at Phillips Academy Andover, where I earned an A+ in BC Calculus. I have a strong grasp of core concepts such as limits, derivatives, integrals, and applications of calculus. Beyond coursework, I’ve successfully helped classmates raise their grades significantly, for example, guiding one student from a 66% to a 91% in just three lessons. My tutoring style focuses on breaking down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps, giving students both the confidence and the tools to succeed.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I attend Phillips Academy Andover and have three years of experience studying chemistry beyond the AP level. I am currently enrolled in Organic Chemistry and have a strong foundation in both general and advanced chemical concepts. My approach emphasizes clarity, intuition, and step-by-step problem-solving to help students truly understand the material. As the oldest of five siblings, I’ve spent years helping younger students and know how to make chemistry both accessible and engaging.
Physics

Physics

I earned the highest possible grade in AP Physics C: Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism at Phillips Academy Andover, one of the top high schools in the country. My coursework emphasized rigorous conceptual understanding and real-world problem solving using calculus-based physics. I have experience helping peers grasp challenging topics such as rotational motion, electromagnetism, and energy conservation. I’m confident in my ability to break down complex ideas clearly and support students at any level of physics.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I am a student at Phillips Academy Andover, where I have consistently earned top marks in mathematics throughout my academic career. I have over five years of experience with precalculus concepts and am highly confident in explaining complex topics clearly and effectively. I’ve worked extensively with peers and younger students, helping them build strong foundations in algebra, trigonometry, and functions. My goal is always to make math feel approachable and intuitive for every student I work with.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I scored a 780 on the SAT Math section and attend Phillips Academy Andover, where I’ve taken advanced math courses beyond the AP level. I specialize in using Desmos and targeted test-taking strategies to help students rapidly raise their scores by improving both speed and accuracy under timed conditions. My approach breaks down difficult problems into simple, repeatable steps that work even under pressure. Whether it’s algebra, geometry, or data analysis, I can help you master the skills you need for SAT success.

Very helpful!

William is very easygoing and makes complex topics very simple. My mom is currently getting a transplant, so I stopped attending with tutors who were asking for expensive prices and weren’t even helpful enough for the price usually! Thanks to William for being affordable and actually teaching me at a very appropriate pace while understanding my needs. Genuinely, William is actually better than most of the more expensive tutors I’ve had in the past when I was financially stable, and even more so for the price!

Tutor responded:

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review, Varshini! I really appreciate your kind words and I’m glad our lessons have been helpful and at the right pace for you. Wishing the very best for your mom, and I’m looking forward to continuing to support you in your studies!

An outstanding tutor

William has been tutoring my two daughters in math and physics, and the experience has been outstanding. He is responsible, always timely, and consistently communicates progress by sending detailed messages about what has been accomplished each session. William explains the material with clarity and engages his students, making complex topics much easier to understand. It is refreshing to see a bright young man already making such a positive contribution. If you are searching for a reliable tutor, you only need to try William once to be convinced to continue. Highly recommended.
