Patient Math and Physics Tutor

Aiden K.

I recently graduated from Pomona College in Claremont, CA with a bachelor's degree in Physics and a minor in Mathematics (3.95 GPA). I have a deep love and passion for teaching, recently moved to Albuquerque, and can tutor students both in person and online. Next fall, I will begin a PhD in Physics, but for now I am focused on tutoring and helping students to understand their coursework on a deep level.

I have over three years of tutoring experience and have worked with a wide variety of students at the middle school, high school, and collegiate levels. This includes serving as the sole student mentor for upper-division Quantum Mechanics and Thermodynamics, as well as tutoring middle and high school students across multiple math subjects (e.g., Algebra, Geometry, Calculus). I also enjoy working with younger children, and served as an assistant preschool teacher while in high school.

My tutoring philosophy focuses on connecting with each student as a person and adapting to their ideal learning style. I firmly believe that everyone can study math and physics at a high level, and that struggling with these subjects usually reflects a mismatch in teaching approach—not a lack of ability. I also love to share my personal passion for math and physics with my students and help them to see the natural beauty in the subjects.

As a tutor, I hope to help students achieve their academic goals while simultaneously making the learning and studying processes more fun and enjoyable. Feel free to contact me with any questions—I would love to work with you!
