Over 10 years of teaching experience in physics, mathematics, and philosophy. I hold two graduate degrees (philosophy from Tufts and physics from Columbia) and have published books and articles in both physics and philosophy. I view learning as holistic and cumulative, constantly looking for ways to bridge gaps between disciplines so that students understand concepts not just mechanically, but in a way that feels intuitive and lived.

Over 10 years of teaching experience in physics, mathematics, and philosophy. I hold two graduate degrees (philosophy from Tufts and physics from Columbia) and have published books and articles in both physics and philosophy. I view learning as holistic and cumulative, constantly looking for ways to bridge gaps between disciplines so that students understand concepts not just mechanically, but in a way that feels intuitive and lived.
I have taught students in just about every context imaginable: middle and high school, university, after-school programs, continuing adult education, and even classes in correctional facilities. I’ve volunteered with nonprofit organizations and tutored students both one-on-one and in groups. I currently teach part-time as a university professor, and over the years I’ve developed a broad range of approaches for tailoring my lessons and speaking style to best serve each student and their particular background and way of learning. Above all else, I want students to feel like they're learning from a human being.
In short, my greatest joy in teaching is being able to pass along complicated ideas to students encountering them for the first time. There’s something uniquely rewarding about finding the explanation, example, or perspective that makes a difficult concept finally click and helping students leave with greater confidence in their ability to learn.
