Bio

I earned a Master’s in Physics from the University of California, San Diego and a Bachelor’s (Magna cum Laude) in Astrophysics from the University of California, Los Angeles. I've tutor math (Algebra 1 to Calculus) and Physics for many years. I’ve also taught physics and physical science in public high schools as a full-time licensed credentialed teacher. I have lots of patience, and my explanations are very clear.

I earned a Master’s in Physics from the University of California, San Diego and a Bachelor’s (Magna cum Laude) in Astrophysics from the University of California, Los Angeles. I've tutor math (Algebra 1 to Calculus) and Physics for many years. I’ve also taught physics and physical science in public high schools as a full-time licensed credentialed teacher. I have lots of patience, and my explanations are very clear.

The very first time I helped another person in math was in the ninth grade when the parents of a classmate asked me to help their son with Algebra 1 word problems after school. It was also around that time that I developed a passion for math and physics. Over the years since, not only have I helped countless students solved math and physics problems, but more importantly, I have helped them gained deeper insights and understanding of the concepts involved.

From many years of tutoring experience, I noticed that many students were just following the mechanical steps of solving math or physics problems. Yes, if you follow all the steps correctly and in the right order you will get the correct answers. Unfortunately, many students do not have insights on what lies beneath those required operations nor do they understand why following the correct steps will led to the correct answer. In order to really master a concept one must have an understanding of what is really happening when moving from one operation to the next. One must develop an insight of how those mechanical steps, step by step, are leading towards the correct solution to the problem. Therefore, when I'm teaching a student, I would go beyond teaching the correct sequence of steps needed to solve a problem. I would also give numerous comments and explanations on why one is doing a particular operation and how that operation will led into the next step.

In my free time, I continue to pursuit my passion of learning math and physics. I would share what I've learned with my students.

Leo is an Amazing Tutor!

Leo has been tutoring me for the past 2 months in high school AP Physics. I've tried multiple tutors before him, and none of them have known the material as well as he does. He knows AP physics like the back of his hand. When asked a question, he immediately knows how to solve it and can explain it thoroughly until I understand. I would highly recommend Leo to anybody who is struggling through AP physics and is looking for a tutor who is efficient, knowledgeable, and kind.

Christina, 26 lessons with Leo

Efficient and Patient

I have been working with Leo for about 3 months on AP Physics C. His method of teaching is clear and straightforward, breaking down complex physics into simple and manageable pieces. With his lessons, I've raised my grade from a B- to an A. Highly recommend and I plan on scheduling more lessons!

Ryan, 21 lessons with Leo

Very intelligent and patient!

Leo helps me with my DE Physics homework and classwork. When he teaches me, he takes time to write out each problem , complete with diagrams and labels, and explains what to do for each step and why each step is important. He goes in depth and makes sure you understand; he answers any questions thoroughly and to the best of his ability, and goes over material he notices you might have trouble with. He is also very patient with you, going over things multiple times if needed, and he knows how to solve almost anything physics related, even if it is outside the curriculum you are studying for! He has helped me through, kinetics, circular motion, linear and projectile motion, forces and energy, impulse and momentum, vectors, etc. He is very flexible with timings despite a busy schedule, and always has room for changes in schedule! 10/10, great guy! His cat is very cute too :)

Knowledgeable and patient

Leo was patient and very knowledgeable with college physics . My daughter clearly understands vectors after a session. I would give him 5 stars. Thank you, Leo for your support.

Kathy, 3 lessons with Leo

Great help for my AP Physics 1 Class

Leo is knowledgeable and provides helpful information and relevant practice problems which helped me build skills and understanding in areas I was confused and unsure about. He is patient and thorough in showing his work and explaining his steps.

Tania, 62 lessons with Leo

Very knowledgeable

Leo worked with my son and was very knowledgeable and a great teacher. We have used him a couple of times now and he has helped my son have a better understanding of AP Calculus.

Kelly, 2 lessons with Leo

Exceptional Physics Tutor

An absolute gem! Mr. Leo is an exceptional educator with a deep knowledge of the subject matter and a unique talent for making complex physics concepts accessible and engaging for his students. One of his greatest strengths is breaking down intricate physics principles into simple, understandable components. I look forward to more lessons in the future.

Neelam, 29 lessons with Leo

Knowledgeable and extremely helpful

I am a 3rd year college student and Leo has been a huge help in passing my physics 2 courses. If you are struggling in college physics I would highly recommend you check Leo out!

Jahmorie, 6 lessons with Leo

Great Tutor for Multi-Variable Vector Calculus

I have had several lessons with Leo on multi variable calculus. He is an efficient and a very patient tutor. He knows the subject very well. He can quickly identify the problem and explain something in different ways so that I can understand. I would definitely recommend him for multi variable calculus!

T., 13 lessons with Leo

Great tutor to help explain difficult topics

I'm currently in calculus based college physics, and Leo has helped me understand the material so much better and faster than my professor ever has. He breaks down each important formula needed in the chapter we're going over in that session, and dissects the variables in a way that make sense to me. He uses real life examples and analogies to make sure the equations stick in my head, and once he helps me understand the formulas and the reasoning they are used, it's much easier to approach quizzes and exams. I highly recommend Leo!
