I have taught at the college and University level for 20 years. I have experience with algebra and calculus-based introductory physics courses, honors physics and modern physics. I have taught at a residential high school for the past five years.

I enjoy hands-on cooperative learning activities with Physics. Relating concepts to real-world applications exposes students to connections between the classroom and their everyday lives. I particularly enjoy developing an understanding of a student's strengths and skills in problem solving. Physics is particularly unique in High School courses because success relies on language skills (word problems), algebra/calculus, trigonometry, geometry, abstract reasoning and disciplined problem solving. I try to guide students to make connections between different "blocks" of course material and to see the myriad applications of core concepts.

I am very experienced in teaching physics. I enjoy helping students develop their skills and understanding of diverse concepts so that they can communicate it to others and demonstrate it on assessments.

I look forward to meeting you and to getting you on track for success in your pursuit of knowledge.

Physics

I have a doctorate in Physics. I have taught at the college and University level for 20 years, and at the high school level for five. I enjoy sharing the learning of physics with students as a guide for their mastery of the subject rather than serving only as a source of knowledge.

Excellent, understanding, patient, enthusiastic and encouraging physics instructor

My daughter often comes out after her online sessions with you just beaming about a new concept in physics that the two of you have just discussed. You have made all the difference in the world. Your enthusiasm and ability to help her understand and solve problems with real-world examples, along with your constant encouragement, have enabled her to not only keep pace with the coursework, but not give up on her desire to pursue an engineering degree. Thanks again for being such a caring and wonderful person and teacher. You go above and beyond, and we're so grateful to have found you!

Very knowledgeable and patient tutor

We had a great first AP Physics lesson with Dr. M. He explained concepts very clearly and patiently and helped my daughter feel more confident and comfortable with the unit she was struggling with. We will definitely be calling Dr. M for more lessons in the future.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

My daughter was tutored by Bill for only 2 hours and obtained a better understanding of the topics and he went above and beyond what sh3 needed to cover. She did extremely well on her physics test that week. Highly recommend. Thank you Bill for your expertise.

Wonderful Tutor

This experience has been wonderful. My son, a college freshman, met with Dr. M for some Physics tutoring. He said he was friendly, super informative, and very patient. Dr. M helped him see his errors and was able to guide my son to use his own thinking to figure out solutions. This is a true talent, and an excellent way to teach, where the student learns and realizes they have the ability. This certainly builds confidence, something my son needed. Dr. M clearly knew all the material, and did not tutor with a "lets try this approach", which often leads to confusion on the students part. He was able to lead my sons thinking in the direction that would give him the capability to answer or take the next appropriate steps. My son felt that he explained things more clearly, could feel where my son's weaknesses were and was able to guide him toward solving the problem. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. In addition, Dr. M followed up with me to inform me how their meeting went. Something I did not expect, but was pleasantly surprised. I am confident my son will be using Dr. M again.
