Proven Results in AP Mathematics & Physics
With 30+ years of teaching experience, I help students achieve exceptional results on AP exams. My AP Physics students average 3.54 (well above national benchmarks) and AP Calculus students consistently average scores of 4.
Real-World Engineering Experience
My 12 years as a Product Manager at Hewlett-Packard brings authentic engineering applications to abstract concepts. Students see how the mathematics and physics they're learning powers the technology that shapes our world - from oscilloscopes measuring electronic signals to rocket trajectory calculations.
Specialized Expertise:
AP Calculus AB/BC
AP Physics 1 & C Mechanics
Pre-Calculus, Algebra II, Geometry
Competition math preparation (coached teams to national rocketry success)
Educational Background:
Master's in Software Development (2023)
BS Electrical Engineering, Magna Cum Laude (University of Missouri)
15+ years high school classroom teaching
Teaching Philosophy:
I focus on building genuine understanding rather than memorizing procedures. Students develop both mathematical competence and confidence through personalized instruction that connects abstract concepts to practical applications.
Student Success Stories:
Recently helped a student on the autism spectrum overcome math anxiety and earn a 4 on AP Calculus AB. The family was so pleased they asked me to continue with both daughters on advanced mathematics.
Available for: Individual tutoring, AP exam preparation, competition math coaching, and anxiety-friendly instruction for students with learning differences.
