Bio

Are you frustrated with teachers who seem to be more proficient with gibberish than their subject matter? Are you finding that despite putting hours in with your textbook its just not paying off? Do you just need someone to explain the same material from a different perspective? If your answer is yes to any of these questions then you have come to the right profile.

Are you frustrated with teachers who seem to be more proficient with gibberish than their subject matter? Are you finding that despite putting hours in with your textbook its just not paying off? Do you just need someone to explain the same material from a different perspective? If your answer is yes to any of these questions then you have come to the right profile.

I discovered my passion for teaching very early on. As early as middle school I remember helping out my classmates with their algebra / pre-algebra homework. I found that I had the ability to translate complex ideas into much simpler descriptions that helped my classmates to understand. Further, I derive great joy leading my students from hazy confusion to that "ah-hah" moment when the light bulb goes off in their eyes, and finally to the point where they are describing in detail to their peers the very same material that had given them such difficulty.

My love of teaching goes hand-in-hand with my passion for math and physics. Although I came to physics later in my life (I always wanted to make video games as a child and have extensive programming experience from these early years), I have been studying the subject non-stop over the last 11 years. In that time I have received a B.S. and M.S. in physics from Wright State University, and a Ph.D. in physics from the Air Force Institute of Technology.

As for my teaching experience, it began with tutoring math and computer programming in 2000-2001. When I started at Sinclair in 2002 I continued to work in the math tutor room. It was at Wright State during my undergraduate / graduate studies that I taught my first official classes. I was responsible for administering and grading all of the lab reports for both algebra- and calculus-based physics classes. During my PhD work, I have also worked as adjunct faculty at Wright State and Sinclair. At Wright State I teach recitation classes for calculus-based physics. At Sinclair I have also taught the PHYS 2201 course, which is first semester, calculus-based p

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

As a practicing physicist I use calculus all of the time. After all, calculus was actually invented by Newton in order to explain physical laws. I bring an intuitive point of view to this subject which complements the more formal content found in textbooks. With this perspective I hope to make clear the concepts of calculus by illuminating their practical applications. I have tutored many students in this subject over the years, both students taking formal calculus classes and those studying physics and being deficient in some area of calculus.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

As a practicing physicist, I have constant contact with differential equations. I am familiar with all of the analytic methods typically covered in a differential equations course. Additionally, many of the differential equations encountered in the physical sciences are not amenable to an analytic solution. As such, I have extensive experience in the numerical approximation of the solution to these classes of equations. In summation, I am well qualified to help any student with their studies of differential equations.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra finds nearly ubiquitous application in physics. All subjects of physics incorporate this powerful mathematics in one form or another. This relationship of linear algebra to the physical sciences finds no greater example than that of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is literally written in the language of linear algebra. As an atomic and molecular physicist I am intimately familiar with linear algebra. At the undergraduate level, not only did I take the linear algebra class required for my major, I also took a more advanced course on the subject that is usually taken only by math majors. In addition, I have taken two courses on the subject at the graduate level. I can aid anyone on their studies of this subject regardless of the level at which they are taking it.
Physics

Physics

Physics is not only my passion but is also my career. I have multiple degrees in the subject in addition to research and teaching experience. I have published 4 peer reviewed papers, mostly on computational chemistry and atomic and molecular physics. I have taught first semester calculus-based physics at Sinclair (PHYS 2201) as well as many recitation and lab classes. I'm considered adjunct faculty at both Sinclair and WSU. I can help with physics at all levels, including undergraduate physics major classes.

Helpful with University Classes

Dr. Aaron has been extremely helpful getting me through a strenuous first year at the University of Edinburgh. He has helped me with Linear Algebra, Calculus, and Classical Physics. With Linear Algebra being a completely new concept to me, my meetings with Dr. Aaron was very valuable. While I took Calculus and Physics in high school, Dr. Aaron has been supportive in bringing my level of understanding of these subjects to a university level.

Amazing tutor

Dr. Aaron is an amazing tutor that explains everything in a straight forward and understandable manner. I had been having trouble with my Calculus homework and classwork, and after each session I feel more confident and knowledgable on the topics reviewed. He is also very kind and patient, highly recommend!

Excellent tutor!

Dr. Aaron, is a very patient tutor and a very kind person. He listens and understands what needs to be worked upon and is able to hone in on the problem at hand and help gain a quick and thorough understanding of the material. He is willing to work as long as it's necessary to get to the root of the understanding and help get through the work assignments. I am very happy to be his student.

Very knowledgeable and excellent tutor

Dr. Aaron figured right in his first class how to get my boys to learn difficult concepts in precalculus/calculus effectively in an extremely short period of time. After their second session they are already confident and feel that they can be ready for their AP calculus placement test that’s in the next two days. We are glad we discovered him at the right time and I am looking forward to working with him during the school year as well. My kids love his personality, teaching philosophy, and his approach.

Very knowledgeable and excellent tutor

My son got connected instantly with Dr. Aaron’s teaching style and he thinks he is very knowledgeable and explains concepts very clearly and patiently. He asked for another lesson the same day. We will certainly look forward for Dr. Aaron to help both my boys throughout the school year

A true mathlete

I’m glad I landed him - we’ll be doing more work beyond basics of linear transformations and eigenV moving forward. He can easily break down the intricacies in an easy to digest way.

Mikel, 6 lessons with Dr. Aaron

Enthusiastic and knowledgeable tutor

Dr. Aaron is very excited about calculus, and that makes my daughter excited. He makes learning the subject fun, even when the math is complex. My daughter always understands the details of her assignments after a session with Aaron. His good attitude really rubs off, I wish all teachers were like him!

Heidi, 3 lessons with Dr. Aaron

Calculus

Thank you for helping my son prepare for his calculus test. I appreciate how quick you were to assist and respond to my communication. He found the lesson to be very helpful!

Jenny, 1 lesson with Dr. Aaron

Excellent Tutor

Dr A really warmed up quickly, I don’t easily give 5’s however he knows his stuff patient and knowledgeable. Looks like he’s gonna be my go to guy. Whew; found someone who knows his stuff. He made me feel comfortable with the Differential Equations subject matter.

Kenneth, 5 lessons with Dr. Aaron

Knowledgeable and friendly

This was their first contact, so I cannot say much except that she will continue working with Dr Aaron. He was patient with her trying to articulate her difficulties in AP Calculus. We hope that their interactions with produce a positive outcome with Alyssa getting a better understanding of fundamentals.
