Hello and welcome to your math and physics solution! I hold a B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Physics from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), and currently provide scientific consulting in radiation safety. I have been tutoring and teaching for the high-school and mid-college levels for over a decade in a variety of formats. I believe students should have a foundation in math and physics to enrich their problem-solving and decision-making, and I aim to provide quality tutoring in Calculus, Differential Equations, and Physics.

I have been tutoring since high school through after-school programs and began teaching Ordinary Differential Equations conferences during my freshman year at WPI. These conferences provided walkthroughs and discussions of example problems to give students opportunities to practice lecture concepts. This continued through my junior year when I also began tutoring and hosting conferences at the Academic Resource Center. During my graduate work, I primarily taught laboratory courses, but found students were constantly coming across roadblocks of language and ambiguity. I used this opportunity to organize the graduate students to clarify and modernize the department's laboratory curriculum. In recent years I taught Physics 1 and 2 at Becker College through traditional and and both traditional and studio-format Physics at WPI. I have helped students to learn math and physics in a variety of settings including one-on-one, group, traditional lecture, laboratory experiments, and online whiteboarding.

I would love to assist you with your learning any way I can; please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson today!

I taught conferences of 20-30 students for calculus and differential equations quarterly as a work-study my first four years at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. During this time I also tutored mathematics privately and through the Academic Resource Center. Since then I have been actively engaged in mathematical physics and to this day continue to solve differential equations involved in my research.

Physics

I hold a BSc, MSc, and PhD in Physics, and am constantly surrounded by opportunities to practice and apply physics. My research involves modeling, deriving, experimenting, analyzing, and communicating physics with a variety of academic and professional audiences. I was also an adjunct faculty of physics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Becker College and have taught multiple levels of physics with and without calculus.
