Dr. G, Physics Pro(f)

Anders G.

I can help you understand physics better and train you to solve physics problems! Whether it is high school physics, including all 4 AP Physics courses, or physics at the college or university level, I’ve done it all:
1. I was an AP reader and worked for ETS and College Board to develop AP Physics tests and more.
2. I have accumulated many different ways of explaining physics through my 17+ years of teaching high school and college/university physics. My student evaluations are typically very good.
3. I have solid training in understanding physics myself, because I have a PhD in nuclear physics followed by 8 years of research.
Thus, thinking about, doing, and explaining physics is second nature to me.

My main emphasis as a tutor is on developing your understanding of physics, how to think about physics, so you can begin to realize how the different concepts work together as a whole and how they connect with reality. With these insights you will develop effective methods to solve any physics problem. Thus, I will ask many questions, initially to determine what you know and understand, then to point you in the right direction, and eventually to train you to think physics! This will help you do well on assignments, quizzes, and tests, thus improving your grade.

If this seems like a good fit for what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to reach out to me so we can set up an initial ~20 min consultation, free of charge!
