Jim P.

Private tutor in Menlo Park, CA

Education

I can offer part time physics (or math) tutoring. I hold a Ph.D. and two Masters degrees in physics with a strong background in theoretical and mathematical physics. I'm currently a researcher at Stanford University.

Experience

My belief is that deep understanding of the subject will always translate into high grades, so I emphasize on the importance of grasping the material rather than concentrate on the outcome (grades) without providing a solid foundation. I have tutored approximately 45 students and taught physics to more than 300. My experience clearly confirms that students with strong foundational background in physics obtain easily the highest grades without any significant effort, while those staying on the "surface" of understanding the material struggle throughout the entirety of their courses.
