I graduated in 2013 with my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree with a 3.87 GPA. During my time in college, I served as a tutor for Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation and Kinesiology/Biomechanics.

Hi, I'm Kevin. I have over 10 years of experience as a Doctor of Physical Therapy. I have a Bachelor's degree in Natural Sciences (Cum Laude) with a minor in Biology. I graduated in 2013 with my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree with a 3.87 GPA. During my time in college, I served as a tutor for Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation and Kinesiology/Biomechanics. I was also a teacher's assistant for Neurobiology labs. I am a licensed Physical Therapist currently working in an acute care and rehab hospital with much of my expertise in physical rehab as it pertains to neuromuscular conditions (stroke, spinal cord, etc). I have spent the last 9 years serving as a clinical instructor for physical therapy students. I also worked at a local community college in the physical therapist assistant program as a teacher's assistant, where I facilitated and graded student practical examinations. I have always had a passion for teaching and helping students to understand concepts instead of memorizing them. My teaching philosophy is 3 fold: learning styles are not one size fits all; the moment you stop asking questions is the moment you stop learning; and the more you understand, the less you need to memorize.

My areas of strength are all areas of physical therapy practice including gross anatomy, kinesiology/biomechanics, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular (neuroanatomy, neuro exam, vestibular, stroke, brain/spinal cord pathways, etc), and cardiopulmonary.

I am also a husband, a father of two beautiful daughters, and a dog dad. When I am not working or with my family, you can find me out on the pickleball court.

Struggling to understand a concept, more often than not, is the result of a disconnect between the teacher’s delivery and the student’s learning style. Sometimes all you need is the material introduced to you in a different way in order to grasp it. Please reach out to me so I can help you work through and understand your science concepts using an approach that is tailored to your specific needs.

Excellent tutor!

Kevin has been an excellent tutor for my Kinesiology course. He provided me with in-depth knowledge on the content and went above and beyond to help me understand the material. He helped me think critically with examples and extensive explanations to all my questions that fostered higher level thinking. I am so lucky to have found him on Wyzant and will be asking him to tutor me for future courses!

Kevin is very knowleable and dedicated

Kevin has been help my kinesilogy and other PT related classes. He has been very helpful to preparing me ready for the exams and learning. He is very dedicated to his teaching. He did not just do what I asked for, but went further, idenfy my problems, and target these aspects. It has been very helpful!

Intelligent and Helpful

Kevin does a great job of breaking things down in a way that is easy to digest. He cares about your success and is there to help you work through different concepts in an efficient manner. I highly recommend doing tutoring with Kevin if you want to increase your test scores!

David, 8 lessons with Kevin

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable in PT topics!

So Helpful! He goes above expectations and creates mini PowerPoints to better explain topics that are troubling. Kevin tutored me for 2 graduate Kinesiology exams and made me feel much more confident in the material!

Knowledgable and excellent communicator

Kevin is (kev)incredible! After reaching out to my professor with no clarity, I decided to broaden my search for answers. Luckily for me I stumbled upon Kevin. Very patient and understanding person. Takes time to explain concepts and goes above and beyond with my learning style. I am a visual learner and verbal processor and Kevin is able to help break down concepts for me in an easy and applicable way. Will continue to refer to him for neurology in the fall semester.

Very knowledgeable. Was extremely helpful for my situation. Came through for me in a tight situation. Will be calling upon Kevin again for assistance. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Knowledgeable, good at explaining topics, patient

We went over the arthokinematics of the AA and OA joint, as well as a review of passive and active insufficiency. Additionally type I and type II motion in the lower cervical and lower cervical region of the spine (Fryettes Law).
