My academic training was in engineering: I received my master's and doctoral degrees in metallurgy and materials science from Columbia University, and my bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. In graduate school I worked for several years as a teaching assistant, which included some lecturing, grading, and tutoring.
After graduating, I worked as an engineer and accrued more than 20 years of experience in various segments of the...

Inspiring and knowledgeable tutor
It is a real joy to see Robert introduce the basic concepts of chemistry and atomic structure to my 5th grade daughter. He is accustomed to teaching college level students, but he was patient and willing to start at the very basic level to engage with her. I can see that I will need to participate a lot, in between sessions, to reinforce the concepts he introduced, with videos, games, quizzes, and articles. I will encourage my daughter to study between our sessions so that we can come prepared with questions, and thus have an even more interactive and meaningful experience.

Extremely knowledgeable and goes the extra mile.
My son has now had several sessions with Robert. We couldn't be happier. My son was very frustrated with the online class format and was ready to quit. However, Robert has tutored him every week since and offered his expertise in an easy to understand way. Robert is very organized, great at communicating, puts a lot of time into his sessions, and is extrememly knowledgeable. We couldn't be happier and we highly reccommend Robert.

Excellent teacher- Materials Science
Robert is meticulous and extremely knowledgeable in a variety of disciplines. He is efficient and yet still explains concepts thoroughly. He is dedicated and mindful of finding the best way of arriving at a solution. He even contacted me after one of our sessions after pursuing an even better way of doing one of the problems. I very much appreciate his expertise. Thank you, Robert!

A COMPLETE LIFESAVER
Let me start off by saying I have never ever in my life understood chemistry--until working with Robert. He is patient, diligent, and completely willing to break down any confusion I may be having. I will work with him for as long as it takes! Book him now!

Super knowledgeable tutor
He helped me understand thermochemical information I am learning for the first time in general chemistry 2 which I was really struggling to understand. He also made sure I understand how to get from point a to point b and answered any questions I had very well.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor
Robert tutored my daughter AP Physics this semester and she thinks he does a better job than her teacher! He even spent extra time off line after session to discuss problems with her. Great tutor, strongly recommend!

Best Math/Physics tutor!
Robert is one of the smartest people I know. He can solve basically any problem out there. Robert helped me for 2 years in subjects in Physics, Math, Excel, and reports. I will ask him for help in solid state later down the road. Highly recommend him as a tutor.
