Bio

I specialize in AP Physics, AP Calculus, and college-level math and science, helping students master challenging material, improve grades, and perform at a high level on exams.
With over 15 years of classroom teaching experience and 5+ years of tutoring, I work with high school and college students to develop a deep understanding of physics and mathematics—not just how to get answers, but how to think through complex problems with confidence.

I specialize in AP Physics, AP Calculus, and college-level math and science, helping students master challenging material, improve grades, and perform at a high level on exams.
With over 15 years of classroom teaching experience and 5+ years of tutoring, I work with high school and college students to develop a deep understanding of physics and mathematics—not just how to get answers, but how to think through complex problems with confidence.
My approach is focused, analytical, and tailored to each student. I begin by quickly assessing your current level, then target the specific gaps or misconceptions that are holding you back. From there, we build clear problem-solving strategies and reinforce the underlying concepts so you can approach new problems independently.
I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring:
AP Physics (algebra-based and calculus-based)

AP Calculus (AB/BC)

College Calculus, Physics, and STEM courses

I also support students preparing for high-stakes exams, including AP exams and the SAT math section, with an emphasis on efficient problem-solving techniques and strategic use of tools like Desmos.
While I do work with a range of students at all levels of math, my primary focus is helping those in advanced high school and college courses succeed in demanding academic environments.
If you’re looking for clear explanations, structured problem-solving methods, and the confidence to tackle difficult material on your own, I’d be glad to work with you.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have taught Algebra to middle school and high school students at a variety of levels for many years.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 is a bit of a mess and can include many distinct topics including conic sections, rational expressions, vectors, matrices, trigonometry, logarithms, probability, and complex numbers. I've taught Algebra 2 as a mathematical modeling course, and I've also taught it as a practical course with a focus on applications of topics. I can guide any student through these topics, as I have done so before.
Calculus

Calculus

I’m an experienced math teacher with an engineering background who specializes in helping students succeed in AP Calculus, honors coursework, and college-level calculus. Calculus is one of the most important subjects in mathematics because it forms the foundation of physics, engineering, economics, and higher-level quantitative work. While the core ideas are elegant, many students become overwhelmed by the pace, notation, and multi-step problem solving required in class. I help students build true understanding—not just memorize procedures. My sessions focus on recognizing patterns, mastering problem-solving strategies, and developing the confidence to tackle unfamiliar questions independently. With the patience of an experienced teacher and the practical mindset of an engineer, I help students move beyond confusion and perform at a high level on exams, coursework, and future STEM classes.
Computer Science

Computer Science

Beyond the classes I took relating to computer science I got through my engineering education, I spent 10 years as a software developer. I've programmed in C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python and Perl. I've taught introductory level classes to programming using Javascirpt, and Python, and an intro to engineering using Arduinos.
Geometry

Geometry

For some, geometry comes as a great relief from algebra, because everything has a drawing. For many, geometry is a difficult challenge because it's the first math where you are expected to make proofs, which means to truly do math for the first time in your life. It requires a blend of logical and creative thinking. I love to help people make that leap - it's the best part about teaching geometry.
Physics

Physics

I’m a certified teacher with 15+ years of classroom experience teaching math and science, including AP Physics and advanced high school coursework. I specialize in helping students who are capable but frustrated—students who understand examples once explained, yet struggle to solve unfamiliar problems independently. Success in physics requires more than memorizing formulas. Students must learn how to translate real-world situations into mathematical models, organize information clearly, and apply concepts with confidence. This is the skill that often separates struggling students from top performers. I help students develop that skill step-by-step so they can approach difficult problems independently, not just copy procedures. My sessions focus on deep understanding, efficient problem-solving, and building the confidence needed for tests, coursework, and long-term success. Whether you're preparing for AP Physics, honors physics, or college-level coursework, I provide clear instruction, high standards, and practical strategies that get results.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I’m a certified math teacher with years of experience helping students prepare effectively for the SAT Math section. I work with students across the score range—from those building foundational skills to high-achieving students targeting top-percentile results. Success on the SAT requires more than knowing the math. Students must also learn pacing, question recognition, strategic decision-making, utilizing Desmos, and how to avoid common traps under timed conditions. My tutoring combines targeted skill review with proven test strategies so students improve efficiently and perform confidently on exam day. Sessions are customized to each student’s starting point, goals, and timeline. Whether you're aiming to break a specific score threshold, reach 700+, or maximize scholarship and admissions opportunities, I provide structured, results-focused preparation designed to raise scores and reduce stress.

highly recommend

Chad has been tutoring my son in AP pre calculus, SAT prep and honors physics. He has been incredible, he has received all As on his tests and his SAT score went up over 100 points! Highly recommend!!!

Jennifer, 33 lessons with Chad

Patient and knowledgeable tutor

Chad is very knowledgeable, professional and patient tutor. He sends a summary of each class after session. He helps my kids to complete their assignments and understand the topics.

Anahit, 7 lessons with Chad

Excellent Algebra Tutor

Chad was so patient, which really put my son at ease. I appreciated how he kept explaining things in different ways until it finally clicked. We’re so grateful for his help and will definitely be reaching out to him again.

Hamsy, 1 lesson with Chad

knowledgeable and patient tutor

My son has been working with Chad to review material in his Physics honors class. Chad has helped him to feel confident in his understanding of the material and he has been doing well in the class. We recommend Chad!

Robyn, 5 lessons with Chad

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Chad was very knowledgeable and patient. My son, a high school freshman taking math enrichment outside of school, found Chad’s explanations clear and easy to follow. He helped my son work through problems he had been struggling with, and my son truly enjoyed working with him.

Jennifer, 1 lesson with Chad

Very easy to work with, patient and knows the subject

Very easy to work with, patient and knowledgeable with geometry. He has been so flexible with scheduling and has been super helpful is giving my daughter the confidence in the subject.

Charu, 87 lessons with Chad

My duughter worked with Chad on 8th grade math and he helped her prep for a test. She said he was patient, knowledgable and explained things in a way that made sense.

Jessica, 1 lesson with Chad

Very Patient!

Great weekly sessions so far with Chad! We can our student confidence and approach improving! We are hoping that he continues to improve his confidence. Thank you, Chad!

K, 12 lessons with Chad

Great tutor!

He helped my daughter with math SAT prep. Along with walking her through the SAT questions she found problematic, he boosted her confidence with some kind words that were much appreciated. I think she needed the confidence boost even more than the math help. Thanks.
