About Stefan


Bio

If you're having trouble in your math or science class, I would love to help you get back on your feet. School can be way more fun when you feel you're understanding what's going on in class and you can choose to participate. Homework will no longer feel like torture because you can do it quickly and easily. Or maybe you are already doing well, and you want to improve your grade from a B+ to an A? Good for you! I can help you do that too.

If you're having trouble in your math or science class, I would love to help you get back on your feet. School can be way more fun when you feel you're understanding what's going on in class and you can choose to participate. Homework will no longer feel like torture because you can do it quickly and easily. Or maybe you are already doing well, and you want to improve your grade from a B+ to an A? Good for you! I can help you do that too.

Throughout my many years of school I always helped and tutored other students as I went along - my little brother, my friends, classmates, etc. - and I really enjoyed it. Now that I'm doing it officially I find it comes very naturally to me - probably because of all that experience I gained over the years of doing it more casually. I love the one-on-one interaction that tutoring provides because it's fun to uncover each student's unique hang-ups and then work with him or her to clear them up. I'm great at finding the problem areas quickly so we can spend our time effectively instead of running around in circles trying to figure out what's missing.

Helping the student stay motivated by keeping it fun and interesting is another focus of mine - often being "stumped" is just a sign of a negative mindset: "I don't get it" or "it's just too hard" are attitudes I love to chase away! I find there's usually just a little piece missing in the student's picture of the subject matter, and not that the student can't understand at all what is going on. I am very good at actively encouraging and motivating the student to push through being "stuck".

In terms of my own education, I've been through a lot of school! I earned my first Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2002, and a second when I graduated Cum Laude in Biology from Millersville University in 2009.

I look forward to working with you!

3 years with Stefan as a College Student

As a college student working with Stefan for three years, and seeking to go to the next level of academic performance, I can without reservation that Stefan has been a large part of my development. Stefan proved to be a reliable asset to my academic journey, first, through his flexibility. He was willing to work around my busy schedule as a student and when I had an internship. He proved to be a coach through any motivational slumps, encouraging me through hard academic materials in college level calculus, chemistry, biology, physics, and major related materials when at times I felt the need to give up or was frustrated with hard classes. Life can be demanding with tough academics, and, with hard courses, he proved to be a coach, and a tutor. Frankly, Stefan has high social I.Q, as well as a deep knowledge of materials that we worked though. I would recommend him for any college student, as well as any student willing, and with the desire, to either move from a passing grade or to achieve grades that are acceptable for elite graduate schooling. As a recent graduate, Stefan has helped me to the achieve the grades necessary for the next level of schooling, and I know he can help you, too.

Highly Recommend Stefan – Outstanding STEM Tutor!

Stefan has been an incredible tutor for my daughter during her junior year, helping her with both AP physics 2 and AP calculus. She finished the year with As in both classes and felt confident that she did well on her AP exams. According to her, Stefan explains concepts clearly and helps her not only prepare for specific tests but also truly understand the material. She often mentioned how he broke down complex topics in a way that finally made sense. She says he’s the best STEM tutor she’s ever worked with and is excited to continue learning with him next year. Stefan is also highly professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about teaching. He's also been very accommodating of my daughter's busy schedule, despite the time zone difference. We’re so grateful to have found him on Wyzant. If you’re looking for a top-tier tutor in physics or math, we highly recommend Stefan!

Great tutor - Highly recommend!

Im an 8th grader in Algebra 2, and I’ve had an amazing experience learning with Stefan! He’s helped me a lot with understanding concepts I used to struggle with, and I’ve seen a lot of progress since starting lessons with him. He explains things in a way that actually makes sense, and I definitely recommend him as a tutor!!

Very knowledgeable and patient tutor, that went above and beyond

My son was having trouble understanding Physics and had an exam coming up and he had a great experience with Stefan. He said he understood so much more when he was working with him and he was very knowledgeable. He was nice enough to spend a little extra time on the lesson which I really appreciate. My son feels much more confident now. We will definitely be booking other lessons with him, Thank you!

Knowledgeable and great communicator , relates well with high school ap student

Stefan was able to prepare my daughter for her ap physics test. She thought he was amazing and she quickly came to understand the materials with his help. She felt confident on the day of her test and did very well.

Physics midterm review

Stefan is awesome! He was able to squeeze an extra session for my daughter in his busy schedule to go over some concepts she was still struggling with and was able to explain it to her with ease.
