I have 25 years of experience teaching advanced physics and math at several private college-prep schools and at three universities nationwide. I'm no longer working full-time, but I still enjoy helping students master this material. In the 2025–26 school year, my final year of full-time teaching, every AP Physics C student passed both AP exams, averaging 4.22/5 on both Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism.
High School Courses Taught:
PHYSICS
AP Physics C: Mechanics, AP Physics C: E&M, Honors Physics, Conceptual Physics
MATH
AP Calculus AB, Calculus I–III / Multivariable Calculus, Precalculus & Trigonometry, Linear Algebra
OTHER
Astrophysics, Astronomy, Intro to Python, Mathematical Modeling
College Courses Taught
Physics (Algebra-Based), Physics Labs, Survey of Calculus, Statistics, Astronomy, Astronomy Labs
I'm especially interested in working with motivated high-school and college students who want more than answers to homework problems—they want to understand the material and become better problem solvers.
I'm based in the Oro Valley/north Tucson area and can meet students in person, including the Catalina Foothills area. Online tutoring is also available.
My rates depend on frequency, regularity, and travel distance. Since I'm doing this primarily because I enjoy working with students, I keep my rates reasonable and flexible depending on the tutoring arrangement.
I'm currently accepting only a few students and plan to tutor approximately 3–5 hours per week.
If you're interested, message me with the student's course, school/college, what they're currently working on, and what kind of help they're looking for. I'm happy to discuss whether I'd be a good fit.
