Tutoring in the Knoxville area or virtually, for math and physics at all levels.
To schedule, email me with your course name, the current topics, and 2-3 times that will work. I usually respond within 24 hours.

I started tutoring math and physics at Georgia College in 2009, and have been tutoring regularly since then. I have tutored students at GC, at UGA, and at UNC. Courses have included:
Physics is a hard subject. It is hard partly because students struggle to see its relevance, but it is also hard because our natural intuition will often lead us astray.
In my many years working directly with students, I know the sort of "intuitive" shortcuts that students want to take that will lead to incorrect answers. I can spot these errors before you make them, then offer correction, not only on what is correct, but why the error seemed correct.
In my experience, the most useful thing for student success on exams is modeling complete problem solutions. Even if a student knows the conceptual material, it is very difficult to put all of the steps together for a complete solution without having seen the process modeled by an expert.
Our sessions will focus on working test-like problems together, scaffolding a complete solution. First, I will model the problem solution and walk through steps. Next the student will work through the steps with guidance on the process and my feedback. Finally, the student should work the problem on their own and be able to walk me through their solution.
My current rate is $50/hr.
I can meet in-person for students in the Knoxville area. This is the most effective format.
I can also meet virtually. I suggest you have a tablet and stylus for virtual meetings.
I can help with math or physics at any level. Below are some example courses.
| PHYS 231/2 | Intro Physics 1/2 |
| EF 151/2 | Engineering Physics |
| MATH 141/2 | Calculus 1/2 |
| KNS 372 | Biomechanics |
| MATH 231 | Differential Equations |
Before contacting me, please attend your professor's office hours, and try the free peer tutoring provided by UTK.
If you still need help, contact me.
I can help with any high school calc-ulus or physics course, but especially the following:
| AP Physics C | Mechanics |
| AP Physics C | E&M |
| AP Physics 1 | Mechanics |
