I'm a physics and engineering educator with 15 years of high school classroom teaching experience in AP and IB Physics, alongside a professional background in manufacturing and product design within entrepreneurial businesses. That combination means I bring both rigorous exam preparation and genuine industry experience to every lesson.
Over the past 25+ years, I've worked extensively with gifted learners and neurodivergent students, including those with ADHD and autism, developing a teaching style that adapts to how each individual student learns best rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
I hold a dual BS in Physics and Physics Education and have taught students ranging from middle school through early college. Whether you're aiming for a top score on the AP or IB Physics exam, building a foundation in engineering principles, or looking for a tutor who will genuinely adjust to your learning style, I bring both the technical expertise and the teaching experience to help you get there.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have over 15 years of experience teaching physics, along with a BS in Physics and a BS in Physics Education, as well as three years of experience teaching Algebra 2. I specialize in making challenging math and physics concepts understandable through clear conceptual explanations, hands-on experiments, problem-solving, and real-world engineering applications. I have taught these subjects at the high-school level and have extensive experience helping students build both understanding and confidence. My goal is to help students not only succeed in their courses but also develop the problem-solving skills to apply what they learn.
