Physics Major & Experienced Math Tutor

Max N.

Hi, I’m Max, a Physics student at the University at Albany with over two years of experience tutoring Algebra, Precalculus, and introductory STEM courses to both high school and college-level students. My academic background includes extensive coursework in Calculus I-III, Linear Algebra, Classical Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, and Modern Physics, giving me a robust foundation in mathematics and physics. Whether working one-on-one with high schoolers preparing for college transitions or helping fellow university students tackle advanced problem sets, I tailor my sessions to meet each student's specific academic goals and learning style.

I believe students learn best when they understand the fundamental reasoning behind a concept rather than simply memorizing formulas. My goal as a tutor is to break down difficult, abstract topics into manageable, sequential steps, helping students develop the core problem-solving skills and confidence needed to succeed independently. Whether you’re a high school student struggling with Algebra, a college student preparing for a rigorous Calculus exam, or someone working through complex Physics homework, I focus on creating a patient and supportive environment where questions are highly encouraged and learning becomes less intimidating.

In addition to traditional math and physics tutoring, I have practical experience using Python for scientific computing and data analysis, alongside conducting independent research projects in physics. I enjoy helping students connect abstract classroom concepts to tangible, real-world applications, which makes the material much more engaging. I look forward to partnering with you or your student to build confidence, master challenging material, and reach your academic goals.
