Barry
Retired Police Officer/Detective - Federal Agent Homeland Security

I have had work assignments, which gave me expertise in investigations, interview and interrogation... Read more
Alex
Experienced Innovator in Physics Instruction
If I had to qualify my tutoring style, I'd say the most important thing that I emphasize is physically intuitive analogies, supported by illustration.

I am a Liberal Artist
