About Nathan

Bio

Hi there! I’m Nate, a PhD student in Theoretical Physics at Dartmouth College with a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Physics from Boston College. Over the past 8 years and 500+ hours of tutoring, I’ve helped students from middle school through college excel in everything from foundational algebra to graduate-level physics.

Hi there! I’m Nate, a PhD student in Theoretical Physics at Dartmouth College with a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Physics from Boston College. Over the past 8 years and 500+ hours of tutoring, I’ve helped students from middle school through college excel in everything from foundational algebra to graduate-level physics.

I specialize in turning challenging material into clear, step-by-step lessons that build confidence and lasting understanding. My approach goes beyond just solving problems. I create tailored lesson plans, custom homework sets, and check-in assignments to reinforce learning and track progress. This structure helps students build intuition, develop practical problem-solving strategies, and consistently improve performance in class and on exams.

I have extensive experience preparing students for math competitions such as AMC 8/10/12 and AIME, where I’ve guided many to qualification and top scores. My contest math instruction covers number theory, combinatorics, advanced geometry, and algebraic problem solving, always with a focus on deep conceptual understanding and speed strategies.

In addition, I tutor high school and college math and physics courses, from calculus and linear algebra to real analysis, mechanics, and quantum physics, as well as standardized test prep (SAT/ACT).

If you’re looking for structured, personalized support that adapts to your goals, I’d love to help you succeed. My rates are flexible, and I’m committed to finding an approach that works best for you.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I have a degree in math from Boston College and am currently pursuing a PhD in physics. I’ve tutored ACT Math for years, helping students bridge conceptual gaps and raise their scores. I specialize in making abstract concepts concrete through visual tools like Desmos and real-world analogies, so students gain confidence, not just tricks.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I hold a degree in Mathematics from Boston College and have years of experience tutoring Algebra 1 to both high school and college students. I break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps and help students build lasting confidence with equations, functions, and word problems. I’ve successfully helped students improve their grades, exam performance, and overall understanding.
AMC (Competition math)

AMC (Competition math)

I hold a degree in mathematics from Boston College and have extensive experience tutoring students preparing for AMC and other math competitions. I’ve helped students sharpen their problem-solving skills in number theory, combinatorics, geometry, and algebra. I'm a lifelong lover of mathematics and run a YouTube channel dedicated to exploring fun and challenging topics in recreational math. My approach blends rigor with creativity, aiming to build both skill and enthusiasm in young mathematicians.
Calculus

Calculus

I graduated with a Mathematics degree in which I completed the full calculus sequence, Calculus I (limits, continuity, and derivation), Calculus II (techniques of integration, sequences, and series), and Calculus III (multivariable calculus and vector analysis), all with top‐tier grades. Beyond the core sequence, I excelled in a range of upper-level courses, including Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Real Analysis, Abstract Algebra, and Probability Theory, consistently earning A’s and departmental honors. This rigorous training has given me a deep conceptual understanding and the ability to explain complex topics clearly and effectively.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I hold a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Boston College and am currently a physics PhD candidate. I have tutored discrete math topics including logic and proofs, set theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and basic algorithm analysis. I have over 100 hours of one-on-one tutoring experience at the college level and know how to break down abstract concepts into clear, manageable steps. My goal is to build strong problem-solving skills and confidence by tailoring examples and practice problems to each student’s needs.
Earth Science

Earth Science

I hold a degree in physics and have completed multiple college-level courses in Earth Science, including geology, meteorology, and planetary science. My background gives me a strong grasp of the physical processes that govern Earth’s systems, such as plate tectonics, climate dynamics, and the rock cycle. I have experience explaining complex scientific topics in a clear, engaging way to students of all levels. I’m confident helping with homework, test prep, or building foundational understanding in Earth Science topics.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have a degree in mathematics from Boston College and several years of experience tutoring elementary math. I’ve worked with students of all ages and skill levels, helping them build a strong foundation in number sense, arithmetic, word problems, and math confidence. I focus on clear explanations and patience, and I tailor each session to the student’s pace and learning style.
Finite Math

Finite Math

I am a physics PhD candidate with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Boston College. I have extensive experience tutoring finite math topics, such as sets and logic, probability and statistics, matrices and linear programming, and financial mathematics, to undergraduate students. With hundreds of hours of one-on-one tutoring, I focus on clear, step-by-step explanations and real-world applications to make abstract concepts accessible.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

I am a graduate student in physics with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics from Boston College. I have extensive experience with Linear Algebra, both through formal coursework and by applying it daily in my research. My work regularly involves eigenvalues, eigenvectors, linear transformations, and matrix methods, which allows me to connect abstract concepts to practical applications. I have also tutored college students in Linear Algebra and related areas, helping them build confidence with both the theory and problem-solving techniques.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

I hold a degree in both physics and mathematics from Boston College and am currently pursuing my PhD in physics at an Ivy League university. My academic training includes extensive coursework in mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and applied mathematics. I have experience tutoring engineering students in topics like statics, dynamics, and differential equations. I focus on helping students develop both conceptual understanding and problem-solving strategies tailored to their course needs.
Physics

Physics

I’m a PhD candidate in theoretical physics at Dartmouth College, with a BS in Physics & Mathematics from Boston College. I have 500 + hours of one-on-one tutoring experience across high-school (including AP) and early-college physics—covering mechanics, E&M, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics. I specialize in building strong conceptual foundations, exam preparation, and tailored problem-solving strategies, all delivered via flexible online lessons.
Quantum Physics

Quantum Physics

I have a degree in physics and mathematics from Boston College and am currently pursuing my PhD in physics at an Ivy League university. My studies and teaching experience include advanced coursework in quantum mechanics, including wave mechanics, operator formalism, and perturbation theory. I’ve tutored both undergraduate and graduate students in quantum physics, helping them build conceptual clarity and problem-solving skills. My approach focuses on breaking down abstract concepts into intuitive, manageable steps.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I’ve tutored the SAT extensively and have a math degree from Boston College. I’ve taken the test myself and know not just the content, but the strategies and shortcuts that make a real difference, especially on the toughest problems. I focus on both accuracy and speed, helping students build confidence under timed conditions.
