PhD in Physics with 20+ Years of Teaching Experience

Andre W.

I'm here to help you with your math and physics courses! Whether it's high school or college, elementary or advanced, I can help you succeed at those subjects that are traditionally viewed as a little difficult. Hopefully, I can also impart some of my enthusiasm for these disciplines.

I have a doctorate and masters in physics, with emphasis on mathematical physics. I am a university professor for physics, and have been teaching math and physics for many years. I've taught large and small classes, for science and non-science majors, so I'm quite familiar with what's out there, including many standard textbooks. In particular, I have prepared students for professional entrance exams like the GRE and the MCAT. I usually get excellent student evaluations!

I see tutoring as closely related to teaching. Tutoring goes beyond teaching in that it reinforces the concepts taught in class on an individual level. Tutoring allows me to give you the special attention you need and deserve. Throughout my years as a graduate student and a professor I have simultaneously been a tutor, for math and physics courses, as well as for German, which is my native language. So far, I have tutored only adults, mostly college students.

I enjoy helping people succeed academically. I noticed some people have a certain anxiety about math and especially physics. One of my goals is to help them overcome this anxiety, one step at a time. I am very patient and will adjust to your individual pace and learning style. This means going very slowly. Experience tells me that even tutoring advanced material may require reviewing some basic math concepts.

I try to be available to you as much as possible, including at odd times and weekends. I will employ any tutoring method that you feel comfortable with. Hope to hear from you!
