Helping students physical and occupational therapy students understand Anatomy, Physiology, and Kinesiology is a passion of mine. I graduated with a degree in Physical Therapy from SUNY Stony Brook in 1997, which was followed by completion of a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) in 2003. I am presently a faculty member for Carolinas Rehabilitation's Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Residency Program. I completed my OCS (Board Certified Specialist in Orthopedics) in 2012. In 2015, I became a Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Specialist (Dry Needling).

I have 25+ years of clinical experience, served as guest lecturer for Universities, and over 12 years of experience teaching and mentoring physical therapy residents. I use props and diagrams to help students understand how the body moves and works, while guiding them to problem solve and improve their clinical reasoning skills. Providing clinical examples also helps students relate what they are learning in class to the health care world.

I currently offering tutoring services to Physical Therapy, Physical Therapy Assistant, Occupational Therapy, and Occupational Therapy Assistant Students in Anatomy, Physiology, and Kinesiology. I can also assist with Orthopedic classes and may be able to help with other PT classes. In addition to tutoring, I can also offer Job interview preparation, residency interview preparation, PT/PTA licensing exam, and orthopedic clinical specialty exam preparation.

Please contact me to see if I can assist you in improving your comprehension of these subjects. I will respond quickly to your inquiries. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions or to schedule a lesson.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Gary was very helpful in teaching me the the concepts in my Functional Anatomy Class. He was able to cater to my visual learning style by using props, diagrams, and pictures. He is an excellent teacher and is very patient with you. He is able to clearly explain the subject well and take you step by step in helping you see the bigger. I look forward to working with Gary more for my future classes. I highly recommend Gary as your tutor!

Extremely knowledgeable

Gary has helped me get a better grasp on anatomy specifically for my DPT 1 course. He explains everything thoroughly and does a greay presentation with props as well as slideshows to ensure I get a visual understanding of the material as well. I plan to have him tutor me in other areas of my DPT coursework as well.

such a great tutor!

This is my second session with Gary. I seeked his help because I am behind in musculoskeletal practice in my DPT program. He is helping me connect the dots in my content guide for my upcoming exam, and it's been a great help. He does a great job of demonstrating, talking about it, showing photos, and giving real life examples of why this stuff is important. I highly recommend him!

Great teacher!

Gary is an excellent tutor! I had 4 lessons with him and he was very patient and knowledgeable. He helped me to better understand topics in PT Kinesiology. He answered any questions that I had and made sure to give me examples. He even used analogies and objects to help me understand certain motions better. I highly recommend him! Thank you!!

Gary was wonderful!! Being I prefer visual learning, my hybrid, accelerated, graduate program is difficult to say the least. Gary was able to add in so many visuals and analogies to material that made things click so much easier!! Absolutely wonderful tutor!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Gary was very knowledgeable and thoroughly explained the topics I had questions on. He took the time to draw examples of topics I was going over in class while also explaining in detail how certain structures worked and how they were affected.
