Tutor in Fairfax Station, Virginia

I am a full time computational physicist with the navy in aeromechanics and thermochemistry. I have been tutoring students for many years and have a good understanding where the roadblocks are and the workarounds they are sometimes forced to employ. I use this stuff every day and can help explain difficult concepts from many different perspectives. I often find that students are much closer to their goals than they know, and usually need some carefully focused direction to get over their hurdles. I truly enjoy helping motivated students. As a computational physicist I have been involved in some exciting navy research programs and hopefully my experiences will help motivate my students with the amazing potential applications of the subjects they're learning. I write compute code in various languages, which will help demonstrate difficult concepts to students in a way that their teachers can't usually duplicate. I'll encourage students to reach out during the week when they have problems with a particular problem and need a little extra help. I'm happy to invest my own time by writing out solutions in great detail for better comprehension or by writing small programs to help a student understand the dynamics of an equation. I have a doctor of science degree in computational physics (2008) from GWU and an MBA from GMU (2015). Don't suffer. Let me help you get past any bottlenecks and hurdles.
