PhDAbout Jeff
Remember how difficult it was the first time your physics teacher said you had to break forces down into components in order to use Newton's Second Law? Or when they asked you to find the maxima and minima of a complicated function? I sure do - I struggled with those things as well. But I found that with good teachers and some hard work, I was

"Awesome tutor"
- Ashley, Butler, NJ on 7/29/16Have tutored with Jeff many times over the course of taking Physics 2. He is kind, knowledgable, patient and thorough.
"Smart, Patient"
- Greg, New York, NY on 3/7/17This non-traditional student (entering an executive MBA program in the fall and wanting to do a fast course of non-trig Algebra 2) is a huge fan. We are using a high school textbook and Jeff doing a great job making sure we don't move too quickly. We use SKYPE and a digital white board, which is great for my schedule and his. I don't think we lose anything by not being physically in the same room. Highly recommended.
"Physics Tutoring for High School AP Physics"
- Gemma, Nutley, NJ on 11/5/16Jeff was great! My son has been feeling completely defeated, but after just one hour with Jeff, the material started to click for him. Jeff was not only able to go over the material but he explained it in the most simple terms possible, and his mild easy manner ensured that my son was immediately at ease. Money well spent!!!!
"Patient and Understanding"
- Bhavesh, Fair Lawn, NJ on 8/20/16After one lesson, I feel that I will excel if I keep working with Jeff to fix my errors and cover anything that will for sure be on the SAT Subject Test for Math.
"Knowledgable and patient SAT Math tutor"
- Maureen, Township Of Washington, NJ on 8/16/16Today was the first meeting between my son and Jeff. He evaluated Steven to identify areas of strength and improvements that will be helpful in his math SAT test taking going forward. We came up with a meeting schedule where he was flexible with my son's schedule. We look forward to more meetings with Jeff.
"Very helpful Algebra tutor."
- Jennifer, Passaic, NJ on 7/25/16Jeff helped me understand word problems and turn them into algebraic equations. He also took his time and explained when things were correct and incorrect. I think he was very helpful and pin pointed many of my problems.
"Knowledgeable and explains well"
- Paula, Rochester, NY on 6/20/16My son had two sessions with Jeff for College Physics, and found the sessions very helpful. Jeff helped him worked through some tough problems and gain a better understanding of the material.
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

MCAT
I am highly qualified to tutor MCAT physics. I have a PhD in physics and have tutored numerous students in MCAT physics. MCAT physics doesn't require memorizing a lot of physics formulae. However, it does require good problem solving and analytical skills, which are the focus of my MCAT physics tutoring.
Physics
I have taught physics for 8 semesters and supervised over 300 students in that time. I have developed problems and presented problem solving strategies to help students learn the material. I was also nominated for an outstanding teacher award. I have tutored many students in physics for the past 7 years.
Salsa Dancing
I participated as an active member of Florida State University's Azucar Dance Company for 5.5 years. During four of those years, I was the group's lead instructor, helping to develop our curriculum, as well as train people who wanted to be part of our team.

Statistics
Statistics was an integral part of my research as a graduate student in physics. So I have first hand experience in applied statistics. Additionally, I've been tutoring statistics at a private tutoring company for some time now. I tutor AP statistics at the high school level as well as intro level college statistics.
