I’m a physics tutor with a strong hands-on research background and several years mentoring students. I’m currently involved in experimental particle-physics work at Brookhaven National Laboratory where I develop analysis code and run detector simulations. That research has given me deep, practical experience in classical mechanics, electromagnetism, data analysis, and experimental methods. I’ve paired that with formal undergraduate coursework in core physics topics, and I use both classroom-style explanations and real experimental examples to make abstract ideas concrete.
My tutoring approach centers on building intuition and problem-solving skills rather than memorization. With high school and early-college students I focus on step-by-step worked examples, translating math into physical reasoning, and targeted practice for exams or AP topics. I’ve mentored new lab members and provided one-on-one coaching for peers for multiple semesters, so I’m comfortable teaching in both single-session and ongoing formats. I tailor sessions to each student’s goals, provide clear takeaways and practice sets, and aim to make physics approachable and enjoyable.
