About Me

I have a Bachelor of Science in physics from Brigham Young University-Idaho and a Master of Science in materials science from the University of Washington. In addition to my education I have also taught college physics for over a year. With such a diverse background I am able to tutor in physics, all levels of mathematics (including calculus and beyond), and even materials science if you're interested in it. My personal favorite subjects are physics, calculus, and pre-calculus. My approach to tutoring is to help students re-learn what they may have missed or forgotten and to assist them in discovering patterns and methods necessary to solve problems on their own. In other words, my job is to work myself out of a job; and I am very good at it! Some of my personal hobbies include hiking, fishing, photography, running, genealogy, and blogging about science (check it out at www.matphy.com). As I continue my own education I am currently investigating graduate programs to complete my Ph.D. in physics with an emphasis in optical properties of semiconducting materials.

Q&A with Stefan

My teaching philosophy is simple. In my experience, students struggle because they don't understand a concept, method, etc. My approach to teaching is to help the student understand the underlying concepts, and to help them visualize the idea using things they can relate to or already understand.
