About Tony


Bio

I have thousands of hours of experience tutoring Physics and Math (Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus) at both the high school and college level. I explain things in down-to-earth ways that really help students understand the concepts they are learning.

I have thousands of hours of experience tutoring Physics and Math (Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus) at both the high school and college level. I explain things in down-to-earth ways that really help students understand the concepts they are learning.

I like to use real-world examples from interests of mine, including music, astronomy, and others, along with experiences I've had during my career as a Submarine Officer in the US Navy, to really help students solidify their understanding of the material being studied. Learning is better (and more interesting) when you can link a concept or an equation to something in real life.

I graduated from South Dakota State University with a B.S. in Physics and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering (GPA 3.91). I also have a Master's Degree in Engineering Management from Old Dominion University (GPA 4.0).

As mentioned, I am an active duty Submarine Officer in the US Navy, working at US Strategic Command on Offutt AFB near Omaha, NE. I have been working in the nuclear power field for most of the last 20 years. During my career, I have taught people from all walks of life many math and science concepts. Much of my career has involved helping high school and college graduates learn the difficult aspects of nuclear power, along with the math, physics, and chemistry that goes along with those concepts.

I have learned a number of techniques to effectively convey difficult ideas and help students truly understand the underlying concepts - not just solve the specific problem at hand. I also have developed proven techniques for ensuring material is retained. I use these techniques to ensure you are better prepared overall, whether for test preparation, application, or learning more advanced topics.

Very knowledgeable tutor.

Tony has been helping my daughter in pre-calc, physics and ACT math. He is very patient, personable and knowledgeable! Every session has been very productive. I highly recommend Tony as a tutor.

Tania, 30 lessons with Tony

Patient and knowledgeable

Our son was trying to get caught up on Algebra 1 after falling quite a bit behind at the beginning of the year. In a two-hour session, Tony was able to help him get the basics down so he was ready for a test the following week. Tony was patient and kind as he walked our son through everything, and he helped him identify the common mistakes he was making that were holding him back.

Jen, 3 lessons with Tony

attentive, prompt response

Tony was great from the onset I reach out. He was attentive and prompt, my daughter has a much better understanding of her physics homework. Thank you Tony!

Mona, 11 lessons with Tony

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE

I reached out to Tony on a Saturday at 9 pm and less than an hour later, we had a session set up for the next day. My daughter learned so much to help her prepare for her physics quiz on Monday. Tony was professional from start to finish and I would highly recommend him. Thanks so much!

Excellent Physics Tutor

Tony has helped my son tremendously in Physics prep. He is patient and very knowledgeable! His grades have gone up and he is more confident in the class. Thank you

Nancy, 6 lessons with Tony

excellent tutor

Tony took his time before we had the session to review all the problems my son needed to work on and identified his mistakes. He gets on the subject right away and does not waste time at all. Super appreciated!

Chika, 12 lessons with Tony

Helpful tutor

He was patient and went through all of the concepts and problems. He was very responsive in his communication to setup the session. My son found the session helpful.

Jonah, 11 lessons with Tony

Incredibly knowledgable and patient.

Helped me tremendously with Pre-calc classes, especially with trigonometric identities, and logarithms. He helped increase my grade from an 85 in Gr.11 to a 96 in Gr.12.

Bashar, 24 lessons with Tony

Helpful and welcoming

My son was taught physics 1. Tony was patients and kind and welcoming. He clarified parts of six assignments. Which had helped my son catch up after getting behind because of sports and sickness.
