With over 14 years of teaching experience, Jed is an expert tutor in nearly all math and science subjects, most recently having been a Lecturer at Princeton University's Physics Department for several years. He is also an active referee for the world-renowned Physical Review Letters journal. Jed has developed a reputation for his empathy and connection with students at all levels of interest, skill, and academic performance. In addition to being an accomplished tutor in math, physics, and other sciences, Jed has demonstrated success in helping students improve their grades and test scores in myriad areas, such as World and European History, Economics, reading comprehension, and the SAT, ACT, Subject Tests, and AP Exams. Jed’s personal testing record includes near-perfect SAT and Subject Test scores, and 5’s on 12 AP exams (Biology, Chemistry Physics B, Calculus, European History, US History, Government/Civics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Statistics, English Language, and Spanish). Jed has also served as an academic mentor for students from middle school through graduate school, guiding them through complicated research projects, and keeping them on track with schoolwork, organization, and confidence building. Given his wide array of interests, Jed excels at finding ways to connect with and understand his students in order to better improve their learning experience.

Jed is a professional physicist and holds BA degrees in Physics and Mathematics from UC Berkeley, and a PhD in Experimental Particle Physics from Princeton University, with 12 years in particle physics using advanced statistical techniques on Big Data (including the discovery of the Higgs Boson at the LHC accelerator at CERN). He also spent 3.5 years at Amazon.com as a Data Scientist on the search engine and in ad forecasting. He's had multiple engagements teaching and mentoring students, researchers, and coworkers at all levels (from high school to graduate students, postdocs, and professional colleagues; frequently cited on Ph.D theses, etc
