I am fully aware of the different approaches to teaching courses in AP Calculus or AP Physics for students who learn differently and assimilate material at different rates. "Eureka Moments" do exist and I know how to evoke that sought- after response in my students.

I am fully aware of the different approaches to teaching courses in AP Calculus or AP Physics for students who learn differently and assimilate material at different rates. "Eureka Moments" do exist and I know how to evoke that sought- after response in my students.

My high school experiences included summer sessions of advanced concepts in Mathematics and Physics while living at The Hun School of Princeton, Penn State, and Phillips Academy.

My passion for teaching began during my undergraduate years at University of Nebraska – Lincoln, tutoring dorm-mates and participating in the university’s approved teaching internship with a S.T.E.M. faculty member (for 100+ verifiable hours) at both Parkview and Pius X High schools in Lincoln, Nebraska which allowed me to honed my skill and ability to teach Calculus and Physics. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Physics with a minor in Mathematics (Class of 2013) which included college Algebra through Calculus I, II, III, and Differential Equations, a requirement of my original Agricultural Engineering major specializing in circuits and sensors, which comprised the disciplines of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.

After graduating my interest in teaching continued when I worked as a substitute teacher at Lake Travis High School in LTISD for 8 years, while tutoring in the evenings and weekends for Wyzant. Currently, I tutor exclusively online, for over 2,241+ hours, through Wyzant Tutoring Services in Mathematics and Physics..

As a result of my broad background in mathematics, engineering, and physics, I can help you succeed with your academic challenges.

Let’s see what we can accomplish together!!!

Differential Equations,

Differential Equations

I have an extensive background in Differential Equations as a result of my dual major in engineering and applied physics at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I have utilized Differential Equations not only from a mathematical perspective, but also applied differential equations to electrical engineering, physics and other disciplines involving non-static systems such as: engineering dynamics and thermodynamics. The field of Differential Equations can be a fascinating branch of mathematics that combines an individual's math talents into one course. A solid foundation in Differential Equations will allow you, as a student, to appreciate physics, chemistry, and engineering courses from a whole new viewpoint. As a tutor, I believe, Differential Equations are the capstone course for all other pursuits in mathematics and the hard sciences and will allow the student to pursue a myraid of applications ranging from Newton's Law of Cooling, radioactive decay problems used in a bacteria laboratory, computing the lift and drag velocities of a 747 aircraft to the flight path of a fighter plane landing on the deck of a moving aircraft carrier. I will try to provide the student with a mathematical background of Differential Equations plus present a practical application of that knowledge to reinforce the concepts presented.

Knowledgeable and patient

William helped me understand the math behind the physics problem sets I struggled to complete on my own. My learning style is compatible with his teaching style, which makes challenging concepts and calculations easier to grasp. Overall, I am beyond satisfied.

Maclin, 6 lessons with William

big help

He has moved my senior AP physics student forward and been on time and very knowledgable of subject matter. we would recommend him and he is affordable - more so than many others on this platform.

Marty, 4 lessons with William

Knowledgeable tutor

William always asks for assignments ahead of each tutoring session which helps him provide detailed and easy to understand explanations to pertinent topics and questions I had. He is very patient and made sure I understood everything we reviewed.

John, 5 lessons with William

Phenomenal tutor

William is a fantastic teacher. Thank you for making calculus concepts a lot clearer. My understanding has improved. So has my grade. I am grateful for tutors like William.

Aurelie, 8 lessons with William

Great Tutor

Excellent tutor. The thought of Physics scared me to death for my daughter, but she has maintained a high average throughout the school year. She is very confident going into testing. I do not know what we would have done without William. He is extremely flexible and really tries to work around our needs. Thank you so much!

Knowledgeable tutor

William has helped my son with calculus. He is knowledgeable and patient, very helpful!. We are very happy to have him working with my son on his math assignment

Joanne, 1 lesson with William

Excellent tutor!

Response time is excellent. Extremely reliable and knowledgeable. He makes the student feel comfortable by being patient and helping the student understand the work. Half the battle is feeling comfortable with the person teaching you and feeling as if they really care about your success. William does just that! Give him a try you’ll be glad you did.

Mya, 6 lessons with William

Learned a lot and enjoyed it!

I am delighted I learned how to do Dynamics. Williams was very patient, professional, and interactive with me I enjoyed how he checked whether I understood and would go into depth and use examples to make it easier. I truly enjoyed my first session with him I felt at ease and happy I could learn dynamics despite not knowing anything about it.

Knowledgeable and Flexible.

William has helped me understand and physics concepts very quickly with his thorough explanations and his flexible solutions. He makes sure to cater the lesson specifically to my learning style and has figured out really interesting solutions to many of the struggles I've had with physics so far. Great Tutor!
