Professional Math and Physics Tutor from Brown University

Jasper V.

Hi, my name is Jasper and I'd love to help you with math and physics! Our one-on-one lessons will allow you to progress quickly towards an intuitive understanding of any topics you may be struggling with. I carefully observe any gaps in understanding, and gently prompt you through thoughtful questions towards clarity in thinking about difficult concepts. This process can be transformative for building mastery and confidence.

Some credentials:
During my freshman and sophomore years in high school, I scored 5s on AP Physics 1, AP Physics C Mechanics, AP Physics C E&M, and AP Calculus AB exams. By the time I was a freshman at Brown University, I was the only first year student in the senior-level quantum mechanics course, where I scored a 100% on all three of the notoriously difficult exams. By my sophomore year, I had completed the undergraduate curriculum and taken several graduate courses with a 4.0 GPA. I also began conducting original research in fluid dynamics and plasma physics.

I know these subjects deeply and can help you master them too. During our lesson time, we will have a lively and interactive dialogue about important principles and problem solving techniques. I genuinely love teaching and go out of my way for each of my students, sending along supplemental notes, resources, and practice problems whenever helpful.

Outside of math and physics, I enjoy reading broadly, learning languages (self-taught to fluency in Spanish and Russian), and spending time in nature and among friends. If any of the above sounds like a good fit, please reach out! I would be happy to work with you.
