Experienced tutor for high school Math and Physics

Chung Koo K.

Hi, I'm Chung Koo. I am a physics PhD from Cornell University. And I graduated from Seoul National University, the top school in South Korea as an electronics (EECS) major for Bachelor's degree. Physics and electronics have one thing in common: both demand the highest caliber in mathematics. One in natural science, one in engineering. I loved math from when I was a middle school student. The joy of solving math problems deeply attracted me. Which led me to advance to the national level math competition round in high school. I have an elementary school daughter, but I still solve high school math problems for fun. I liked physics also because it is built upon mathematical language.

We all know that math is hard. As a person who experienced and overcame more challenges in math and physics, I loved sharing my experience to help people out of the troubles I went through. I liked helping friends informally during high school days, I liked 1:1 tutoring high school students in college, and I liked teaching undergraduate students in classrooms as a TA in graduate school. I love seeing the eureka! moment from people when they figure out things they couldn't by themselves. The harder the subject or topic is, the more opportunities are out there in which I can make students feel the enlightenment.

Much like everyday conversation, a slightly inaccurate assumption might be holding you back when you have trouble in understanding a concept and solving a problem. Quite often all you need is a patient teacher who is willing to keep digging until the misunderstanding is revealed. A teacher who will keep explaining things in easier and easier terms until the student fully comprehend. Looking for a friendly helper? Contact Chung Koo!
