I'm an
Individual
Hey Parents and College Students, I'm Dr. Shawn, and I hope you'll let me teach you or that special student of yours how to LEARN PHYSICS THE EASY WAY. I am an award winning physics teacher and master tutor whose mission in life is to help young people succeed in their studies. The secret to success in physics classes is learning how to think the way physicists do. I teach my students how to apply their everyday experiences to master physics concepts more quickly, to find the answers to assigned problems more easily, and to perform much better on classroom tests and college entrance exams. In fact, exam preparation is a speciality of mine. It's not surprising that even my most physics phobic learners enjoy our private sessions. My love of teaching and genuine concern for my students makes it easy for me to connect with young people. Most come to see me as more of a mentor than a tutor. And that relationship helps me not only teach them physics and mathematics, but also important attitudes and skills that are essential for success in school and in life. QUALIFICATIONS ACADEMIC: BS, MS, Ph.D. in Physics plus a BS in Applied Mathematics from UC Berkeley and UCLA. TEXTBOOK WRITER: I ghost wrote much of Core Concepts in Physics, a college-level textbook. TEACHING EXPERIENCE: 20 years of teaching students is grades 7 through 12, plus undergraduates. Founder and creator of the Society for Amateur Scientists, and the LabRats Science Education Program AWARDS: MacArthur Fellowship for science education, 1999 COMMUNICATION: Former columnist for national science magazines, including Scientific American. Professional quality stage and close up performer of magic and science demonstrations. MEDIA EXPERIENCE: My working in education has been described in numerous national media, including the New York Times, the Boston Globe, the Donahue Show, Science Friday, Good Morning America, and the Lehrer News Hour amongst many others. MY FOCUS #1. HELPING PHYSICS STUDENTS OF ALL LEVELS pass their exams (including AP exams) at the highest possible level. #2. TEACHING TEACHERS how to inspire their students to love learning about science and technology. Teachers please check out my bio on LinkedIn to learn more about what I can to help you get your students truly engaged in your classroom. RATE: $35/hr (And worth it!) In-home sessions are available. MY PERSONAL GUARANTEE: Parents and teachers... If you're not satisfied then you don't pay. In fact, if after the first lesson you don't think I'm the best tutor out there, then you owe me nothing. You've got nothing to lose. Will all best wishes for your students' success, "Dr. Shawn" Shawn Carlson, Ph.D.
