My comments on tutoring Physics : Expert at all Calculus-Based Physics and General (Algebra-Based) Physics. Particularly good at breaking down the main concepts: Measurement and the Language of Physics, Kinematics (The Physics of Motion), Dynamics (Forces and Motion), Impulse and Momentum, Conservation of Energy, Periodic and Simple Harmonic Motion, Heat and Temperature, Wave Energy, "Static" Electricity, Electricity and Electrical Energy, Magnetism and Magnetic Force, Electromagnetism and Electromagnets, Nature and Behavior of Light, Particles and Interactions and the Standard Model, Astronomy, Physics and Physical Science, History and Philosophy of Physics.
If you watch me closely during our sessions, you can see me secretly paying keen attention to you and how you learn best. For example, you might say, "It LOOKS like they want me to factor here." And I'll think, "Aha! LOOKS. Maybe you're a visual learner and like to SEE things explained and SEE examples. (About 80% of students are visual learners.) On the other hand, you might say, "It sounds like they want me to factor here." And I'll think, "Aha! sounds. Maybe you like to HEAR things explained, and you're a keen listener and like to hear things described clearly and specifically. Or maybe you'll say, "I FEEL like they want me to factor here" (as you tap the problem with your pencil). And I'll think, "Aha! FEEL. Maybe you learn by intuition and need to just jump in and work a problem or two with me step-by-step and discover the pattern of what's going on and pick up the FEEL of it. So... ... read more
