professional physicist taught by 6 Nobel laureates

Jay Y.

Extremely Intelligent and Patient Tutor

Dr. Jay is one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. His knowledge of physics is profound. For this reason we believed he would be the ideal tutor to help our son prepare for physics competitions. Dr. Jay is a really nice man who made my son feel comfortable asking questions. He easily identified the areas in which my son needed more practice and devised a plan and schedule to help my son prepare for his exam. He is very organized and prepared lesson plans which included challenging homework problems that provided extra practice for my son. Dr. Jay also has a great sense of humor which makes learning difficult concepts more fun and interesting. We highly recommend him as a tutor. Penny Z. (many lessons) Dr Jay is a very advanced tutor. I have been studying extensively for the USAPhO for the last 7 months with Dr. Jay and throughout all of our lessons he espouses the natural way of thinking and discovery through doing general proofs rather than the easier way of doing problems based on pattern recognition as found in school. His approach emphasizes deep axiomatic reasoning and understanding of general solutions so that in approaching systems with less variation, the problems become trivial. I would truly recommend him to anyone trying to do competitive physics because his way of teaching is exactly what the USAPhO rewards-- Deep natural thought rather than pre learned pattern matching.

Excellent Physics and Calculus Tutor

I have used Jay's tutoring abilities for Calc 3, and Electricity and magnetism both of which helped immensely. The way he teaches from facts and fundamentals really stuck with me and come test time helped much more than other kinds of tutoring methods I have used. I would highly recommend Jay for anyone looking to truly grasp the concepts they are learning.

Very knowledgeable and approachable

I had a great session with Jay! He immediately put me at ease when I started with him with his friendly demeanor. I never felt spoken down to, only worked with. He explained the concepts using real life examples, then stuck with me until I understood.
