Medical Physicist | PhD | 13+ Years Tutoring

Antonia K.

Hi! I'm Antonia, a practicing medical physicist in Radiation Oncology and faculty at Harvard Medical School. I currently work at Brigham and Women's Hospital and completed my PhD in Medical Physics at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences from the University of Michigan, graduating Magna Cum Laude.

I have over 13 years of tutoring experience working with students ages 5 through 40+. I specialize in mathematics and physics at all levels, and I have supported students who need foundational skill-building as well as high-achieving students preparing for advanced coursework and competitive exams.

As a PhD-trained physicist and published researcher, I understand math and physics at a deep conceptual level and apply them daily in a clinical hospital setting. In addition to tutoring, I have led board preparation sessions, mentored undergraduate STEM students, developed coursework, and taught in both academic and professional environments. My recognitions include being named a Young Investigators Finalist at the AAPM Spring Clinical Meeting, receiving the Wisconsin Science and Medicine Graduate Research Fellowship, the Glen F. Knoll Scholarship, and a Best Paper award at the ANS Student Conference.

My teaching philosophy focuses on building true understanding rather than memorization. I break complex problems into manageable steps, teach repeatable problem-solving strategies, and adapt to each student's individual learning style. My goal is to build both confidence and independence so students feel capable tackling new material on their own.
