Hi everyone, my name is Antonio, and I've spent the better part of the last 9 years learning new things in the fields of math and science. I knew I had a passion for physics when I did my first kinematics problem in the 11th grade, but what I didn't know at that point is that I would come to love teaching it to others even more. I began tutoring as a high school student, and since then I've accumulated countless hours helping prepare students for AP exams in Physics and Calculus. I love...
Hi everyone, my name is Antonio, and I've spent the better part of the last 9 years learning new things in the fields of math and science. I knew I had a passion for physics when I did my first kinematics problem in the 11th grade, but what I didn't know at that point is that I would come to love teaching it to others even more. I began tutoring as a high school student, and since then I've accumulated countless hours helping prepare students for AP exams in Physics and Calculus. I love discussing technical topics, and breaking down concepts and watching others understand them for the first time is a feeling that will never get old for me.
My approach to tutoring relies heavily on a "learn by doing" philosophy. Over the years I've developed countless ways of explaining concepts verbally and using visual aids to deepen students' conceptual understandings. But I firmly believe the only true way to learn is to solve a problem for oneself. Therefore I typically structure my lessons with an initial assessment of the student's knowledge, and then follow it with some conceptual explanation and a heavy amount of guided practice. I have a wealth of practice material at my disposal in both physics and math, and I use it to tailor each lesson to a student's specific needs.
I graduated cum laude from Northeastern University with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Master of Science in Robotics. I currently work as a mechanical engineer, and my job forces me to call on my advanced physics and math knowledge on a daily basis. I've been a tutor in both AP Physics and AP Calculus for one year, mainly in an online setting, and I've received several 5-star reviews from my prior students. I'm looking forward to helping as many students as I can ace their tests and AP exams!
