About Instructor

I obtained my bachelor’s degree in pedagogical physics (1989) and acquired my master’s degree in geophysics (1994). Since 1989, I have taught physics to many students in private and public high schools and colleges. I taught Physics I and II including mechanics, electricity, magnetism, optics, and thermodynamics. I also offered courses in applied geophysics to students in the field of geology and mining engineering. Topics included seismic, geomagnetic, gravity, and electric methods.

During all the years of my teaching career, I have seen many students struggling with solving physics problems. They learn about the theories in their classes, but have difficulty applying those concepts and principles to solve the problems.

I help students improve their skills to solve physics problems with a different approach that teaches them problem solving and critical thinking through working out problems with descriptive step by step solutions. Using this method, students will be given a full problem which they will learn how to break down. Along with this there is an explanation for what each part of the problem means. From there, we will systematically use all of the information that the problem has given us, and solve for the answer step by step. What we need to solve any of these Physics problems is the most basic of Algebra skills, even to solve the most complicated of the problems.

Hopefully with enough practice, you too will be able to do this on your own.

Best,
