About Noah

Bio

Hi, I'm Noah! I have over 5 years of professional experience as a math and physics tutor. I've worked with students of all ages and backgrounds, but now focus primarily on those in high school, college, and continuing education. I hold a B.S. in Physics from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Maryland. In addition to my years tutoring, I've lectured and TA-ed courses at the undergraduate and graduate level.

Hi, I'm Noah! I have over 5 years of professional experience as a math and physics tutor. I've worked with students of all ages and backgrounds, but now focus primarily on those in high school, college, and continuing education. I hold a B.S. in Physics from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Maryland. In addition to my years tutoring, I've lectured and TA-ed courses at the undergraduate and graduate level.

I view tutoring as an effective supplement to in-class lectures, online coursework, etc. rather than as a substitute. Because we're working one-on-one, I can focus on engaging students in active learning, which is often missing in those other educational contexts. I'll help break down confusing topics into smaller, more manageable chunks tailored specifically for each student.

I focus on instilling independence and confidence in those I tutor: I've encountered many new students that come to me feeling helpless, like they just can't get their head around some topic or that a class is just impossible. I work hard to break down those walls and empower my students to help themselves by adapting the pace of the learning and simplifying things to the point where the students can work through them.

When tutoring, I strive not just to rehash information presented in class or a textbook; instead, I also focus on designing problem-solving techniques and study strategies for each individual student. These skills, while just as essential to academic success, are often neglected in a classroom setting, and students are otherwise expected to figure them out on their own.

If you're at all interested in employing my services, you can send me a message to set up a free consultation. I'm always easy to reach and respond promptly.

I look forward to meeting you!

Mathematica

As a physicist, I used Mathematica frequently and comprehensively. Not only have I used the program extensively, but I have also had to teach more junior scientists how to use it effectively. Some specific examples of work I've done (available upon request) include: - Carrying out perturbative calculations involving hundreds of terms - Data analysis and visualization - Analytical and numerical PDE solving at high-precision - Package development

Best tutoring experience I've had on Wyzant.

To set the scene, I'm an almost 35-year-old that hasn't taken a math class in close to a decade. I went back to school for Computer Science and had to take three high-level math classes. While I managed to make it through Discrete Math and Applied Calculus I fell into a hole with early with Applied Linear Algebra. I immediately went looking for a tutor and Noah reached out to me once I activated a search for Linear Algebra. Noah walked me through each concept that we were present with each week, making sure that I understood the concept from the ground up. He constantly challenged me, making sure to go over each problem more than once, ensuring that my understanding of each topic was solid. I'm not saying that I'll be working on my Doctorate in Applied Mathematics anytime soon, but Noah managed to save a sinking ship and while my goal was just to get a D and skate by, I managed to get a low B. I cannot emphasize how great of a tutor Noah is. I'm not sure what other topics Noah covers, but if you need help with any subject he specializes in, I cannot recommend him enough. 10/5 stars.

Michael, 9 lessons with Noah

Very helpful and friendly!

Noah was an excellent AP Physics C tutor. He walked me through many fundamental concepts of E&M, and made it easy to learn difficult subject matter quickly. I highly recommend him!

Melissa, 2 lessons with Noah

Noah is an excellent calculus tutor

Noah is helping my son cover some material on the AP Calc test that they did not get to in class. He knows his stuff and is a very good teacher. My son enjoys the sessions and is learning a lot. Highly recommended!

Sarah, 8 lessons with Noah

Excellent Tutor

Noah did a great job with AP Physics and AP Calculus AB. Clear and friendly explainer. Good attitude. My daughter really felt good about her remote sessions.

Jonathan , 7 lessons with Noah

Patient and thorough

Noah was thorough and deliberate as he helped my son work through the math problems that were giving him trouble. He made sure to pause and ask questions to make sure my son had a good grasp of the material and the whys and hows so he can work through it on his own next time.

Jane, 1 lesson with Noah

Super effective

Noah stepped in to help me and my retired physics professor father navigate the ins and outs and Mathematica to resolve a challenge my father was having. He was very patient.

Brett, 2 lessons with Noah

Great first lesson!

Noah was very patient with our recalcitrant son. Loved the summary afterwards; it really helps us keep on top of things and feel involved. Thank you!

Ivan, 1 lesson with Noah

The best physics tutor!

Absolutely fantastic tutor! Incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and helpful tutor! He is great at meeting you where you are and explaining the logic and theory so you can succeed!

Caleb, 8 lessons with Noah

Great tutor

Noah was very patient with me as I need things explained to me very slowly. We worked through my calculus homework and he made sure I understood the concepts and ideas.

Kurt, 42 lessons with Noah

Excellent STEM tutor

We have used Noah for our child for AP physics and calculus and has been fantastic. Has a way of making these concepts understandable to students. Very patient despite such difficult concepts
