Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Akron, OH

Having studied physics in college and worked in biomedical engineering, I am no stranger to technical jargon. But it is that jargon which (for me at least) makes learning more difficult than need be. Therefor, I have made it my goal to increase comprehension by eliminating the "big confusing" words that inevitably arise.

I value the humanities as well, and it is my experience as a guitar student and instructor that makes my approach to tutoring unique and valuable to students.

I believe that practice makes perfect so my preferred way to teach is through lots to practice and hands-on learning. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing soccer and chess, and spending time with my wife...

...for a student to learn is to first receive instruction and then teach the concept back to ensure proficiency. First, I will provide effective and clear teaching through simple analogies and example problems. Then, I'll gauge and reaffirm if the student has truly mastered the concept by having him or her teach it back to me. Lastly, I'll have the student complete a problem after learning the material and then revisit the concept and see...

...the best ways to improve your own capacity for learning is to teach. It may be a cliche to say that 'teachers learn from their students' or teachers learn by teaching', but I really believe it's true! Even if it's a topic you think you already know, everyone comes to "know" something a little differently, and you never know how just subtle differences in the words someone else uses to explain something might lead to...

...and public health, and I'm on the pre-medicine track. Last summer, I worked as a summer music teacher for students in Kindergarten up to 5th grade. I tutor mostly math and science topics and for the ACT, and my favorite subject is calculus! I took both AP Calculus courses in high school, as well as Calculus II and Calculus III at my university. I strongly believe that each student learns in a different way; each...

...and provide advice and explanations rather than presenting the solutions and process immediately. This gives students the chance to learn the material both correctly and efficiently as they are actually working through the material. I also do my best to make my explanations of concepts accessible and explain them in simple ways that allow students to understand the concept in order to be able to extrapolate those ideas to other material. For my hobbies I...
