I have taught at the college and University level for 20 years. I have experience with algebra and calculus-based introductory physics courses, honors physics and modern physics. I have taught at a residential high school for the past five years. I enjoy hands-on cooperative learning activities with Physics. Relating concepts to real-world applications exposes students to connections between the classroom and their everyday lives. I particularly enjoy developing an understanding of a s...

This experience has been wonderful. My son, a college freshman, met with Dr. M for some Physics tutoring. He said he was friendly, super informative, and very patient. Dr. M helped him see his errors and was able to guide my son to use his own thinking to figure out solutions. This is a true talent, and an excellent way to teach, where the student learns and realizes they have the ability. This certainly builds confidence, something my son needed. Dr. M clearly knew all the material, and did not tutor with a "lets try this approach", which often leads to confusion on the students part. He was able to lead my sons thinking in the direction that would give him the capability to answer or take the next appropriate steps. My son felt that he explained things more clearly, could feel where my son's weaknesses were and was able to guide him toward solving the problem. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. In addition, Dr. M followed up with me to inform me how their meeting went. Something I did not expect, but was pleasantly surprised. I am confident my son will be using Dr. M again.
