Bio

Hi, I'm Shawn! I am a graduate student at Brown University researching physics. I have a dual degree in physics (B.S) and music composition (B.M), and minors in French and mathematics.

I graduated with honors and have experience as a secondary education teacher in physics, mathematics, French, and biomedical science. I am a member of the Kappa Mu Epsilon Mathematics Honorary Society. I've researched acoustic wave phenomena and constructed mechanisms for three-dimensional visualization of...

Hi, I'm Shawn! I am a graduate student at Brown University researching physics. I have a dual degree in physics (B.S) and music composition (B.M), and minors in French and mathematics.

I graduated with honors and have experience as a secondary education teacher in physics, mathematics, French, and biomedical science. I am a member of the Kappa Mu Epsilon Mathematics Honorary Society. I've researched acoustic wave phenomena and constructed mechanisms for three-dimensional visualization of wave interactions to be incorporated into the classroom. I've done interdisciplinary research on novel mechanisms for structural coloration that has been published in major scientific journals. I've designed innovative lesson plans and labs for high school/college classrooms to incorporate my novel research.

I have 8+ years of experience working as an independent musician. My work experience includes 100+ live performances, 5+ years as a studio musician, booking tours/festivals, producing, mixing, and mastering music that has been released through multiple record labels (10+ million streams), artist management, live sound engineering, professional composition and arrangement, music theory lessons, conducting of ensembles (orchestral and vocal), and more. I am a multi-instrumentalist and have taught piano, guitar, electric bass, and drum lessons. I also have experience giving music composition and songwriting lessons. I have taught and worked in a multitude of genres, including but not limited to classical, jazz, rock, blues, hip-hop, electronic, etc. I have experience with cutting-edge music production and composition techniques and can teach every step of creating and releasing a song.

My goal is to make you as passionate about physics and music as I have always been! If you have any questions, I'd love to hear from you!

Blown away after just one lesson!

I decided to give Shawn a try based on his rating and the fact that he could tutor my high school junior in both precalculus AND physics. My son has completed one session and we are SOLD! My son actually enjoyed the lesson (if someone can make precalc and physics enjoyable, they get BIG points just for that!) He came home from school today and happily announced that he was completely prepared for what was taught in class today and that Shawn did a much better job of explaining everything than his teacher did. To see my son enthusiastic about physics and precalculus is awesome. We're looking forward to many more lessons with Shawn. Highly recommend!

Laurie, 44 lessons with Shawn

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Excellent tutor for college level physics. My daughter appreciated all the help he provided in learning difficult concepts and solving complex problems. He has a firm grasp of calculus based mechanics and look forward to his help with electricity and magnetism also.

Sunil, 7 lessons with Shawn

Great teacher

Great amount of work done, very good at explaining things. Everything was understood by the end of the lesson as stated earlier.

Daniel, 2 lessons with Shawn

Knowledgeable Tutor with great education background.

On my first lesson, Shawn discussed and reviewed with me playing the horizontal fretboard as opposed to vertically, it’s a powerful tool as it brings out certain fretboard aspects and key signature details.
