...I specialize in high school and college level physics, including mechanics, quantum mechanics and electrodynamics. Prealgebra is, as the name suggests, preparation for algebra, one of the foundations of modern mathematics. It deals with rudiments of the concepts of function, variable, and equat... (read more)
...Just last year, I worked with students who were admitted to Stanford, Brown, UC Berkeley, GA Tech, NYU, Purdue, and Middlebury. Other past students of mine have gotten into Harvard, MIT, Vassar, UVA, UNC, and Tulane. I graduated summa cum laude from Tufts University, with a Bachelor's Degree is... (read more)
I graduated from UNCA with a degree in mathematics. I spend quite a bit of time tutoring and doing my own research in mathematics (encryption most recently). I've learned a great deal in working with students over the years and have developed a unique teaching style to help students feel more conf... (read more)
