Career Experience

I was a professor of physics in an undergraduate college for more than 40 years. During that time I taught college courses in physics, covering mechanics, astronomy, electronics, electricity and magnetism, modern physics, and optics. All of these subjects come into play in tutoring sessions. Mathematical concepts, including algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, play a role in understanding and teaching physics.

I Love Tutoring Because

it pleases me to see others succeed in solving a problem, When a student has an "aha, I see it" moment, that is one of the best times in the life of a teacher and tutor. It's great when a session ends in gratitude for a problem solved or concept learned.

Other Interests

The problems were a lot easier than I though and so it went very quickly, but it was still very good to have someone work me through the steps of the problems. I'll definitely use the service again if I get stuck.
