About Andrew


Bio

Hello. I have been in love with science and math since I was in high school. I was the kid in school that everyone came to when they were stuck on a problem.

I particularly enjoyed physics and math. I decided to pursue physics and mathematics in college and finished with a BS in Physics, a BS in Mathematics Education (grades 7-12) and an MS in Physics Education at Buffalo State College. While in college I helped establish a tutoring center and I was a tutor myself.

Hello. I have been in love with science and math since I was in high school. I was the kid in school that everyone came to when they were stuck on a problem.

I particularly enjoyed physics and math. I decided to pursue physics and mathematics in college and finished with a BS in Physics, a BS in Mathematics Education (grades 7-12) and an MS in Physics Education at Buffalo State College. While in college I helped establish a tutoring center and I was a tutor myself.

I am trained as a modeling teacher, a technique pioneered by ASU. Modeling is "a guided-inquiry approach to teaching science that organizes instruction around a coherent storyline of model development (taken from American Modeling Teachers Association website)." I give guidance but the students must be able to describe their own knowledge verbally, mathematically and by journaling their ideas. This approach allows students to become self-actualized learners who seek knowledge on their own.

I've tutored dozens of students from an array of backgrounds and abilities. Most become A+ students.

Contact me if you would like me to help your child or student reach their potential.

Helpful First Lesson

For the first lesson, Andrew taught my son some beginner chords and how to tune his guitar. It was extremely helpful and my son felt much more confident about learning to play the guitar after the lesson.
