About Lisa


Bio

I teach Conceptual, College Prep, and AP Physics 1. Students regularly come after school to work with me one on one for extra help. I love seeing that light bulb when things finally click. Just class time is not always enough time for students to excel at physics, many need to put in the extra time. I've found that most often students with difficulty are just equation shopping instead of understanding physics concepts or they have deficiencies in math. One on one tutoring at YOUR pace...

I teach Conceptual, College Prep, and AP Physics 1. Students regularly come after school to work with me one on one for extra help. I love seeing that light bulb when things finally click. Just class time is not always enough time for students to excel at physics, many need to put in the extra time. I've found that most often students with difficulty are just equation shopping instead of understanding physics concepts or they have deficiencies in math. One on one tutoring at YOUR pace can help.

My undergrad degree is in physics and my masters is in physics education. I've been a public high school teacher for 29 years. I am a reader (grader) for AP Physics 1 Exams. With so much experience in the classroom, I know and anticipate the misconceptions and stumbling points that students have and how to help them.

****I have not taught AP Physics C or done calculus based physics since grad school! ....you can probably find a better fit than me for help with that course.

I always enjoy helping my own students one-on-one after school. After VIRTUALLY tutoring my own students during COVID I started Wyzant tutoring as a side gig. Don't hesitate to contact me. I think you'll find that I am easy to work worth and we'll make lots of progress. =)

Great help!

Lisa offered my daughter excellent help on the eve of an important test. She was knowledgeable, patient and kind. She also asked great questions to make sure my daughter was really conversant in the material before moving on to the next problem. We will be using Lisa again, for sure!

Lisa is an Exceptional Tutor!

I really enjoyed working with Lisa as she helped me prepare for my physics exams and the AP test. She is an exceptional tutor and explained complex concepts in a way that made them much easier to understand. Her guidance played a big role in helping me finish the year with an A and earn a 4 on the exam.

Very helpful tutoring relationship

We’re about to end the school year & are reflecting on how helpful it has been to work with Lisa in recent months. During a midyear slump, our child needed support to keep up in AP Physics 1. We are ending the year on a strong note thanks to a great working relationship with a great teacher/tutor.

Productive first session!

We’re glad to have found Lisa for tutoring in AP Physics! Good fit from the outset, engaged, supportive and clear. We’ve already booked our next session.

Great AP physics tutor

Interactive teaching style. Tailors lessons to students areas of strengths and weaknesses. Kind, patient and clear communicator. Extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Elizabeth, 14 lessons with Lisa

Knowledgeable and patient

Lisa was helpful and understanding. I was somewhat skeptical of online tutoring, but there's a whiteboard that appears on the computer screen where the tutors show their work.Makes it easier for kids to follow along.

Knowledgeable and patient

My daughter really enjoyed her time with Lisa. She was very comfortable with her and reports having a much better understanding even after one session! We will definitely use her again when she needs help!

I wish we’d signed up sooner!

My daughter has had several session with Lisa as she’s preparing for the AP exam and end of the year tests. Lisa has been great at helping her to understand complex concepts that were previously missed. I only wish we’d started rotaries at the beginning of the year.

So Helpful

My son is getting an A in physics because of the huge curve his teacher does but Lisa got him actually understanding the concepts!
