Retired High School AP Physics teacher offering one-on-one tutoring or group sessions in Houston, TX or online.

Methodology

I believe that teaching styles cannot be static, it has to adjust according to the student who is being taught. My teaching methodology varies according to the learning style of the student. Some students need minimum direction. They seek out a tutor to help them clarify some questions that they may have. Some other students might lack the background to grasp what is taught in their classes. As a result, they feel frustrated and overwhelmed. They need a scaffolding approach, to bring them up from their current level to where they are supposed to be. Wherever needed, I try to bring demos or assign virtual simulations and other resources to supplement the face-to-face teaching.

Within a session or two, I will be able to ascertain which learning style a student has and I will adjust my lessons accordingly. Some will be fast-paced, while others will have more time for individual practice.


I generally offer tutoring in a public place such as a library or a park, depending on the convenience and requirements of the student and their parents.

My lessons are geared towards college students or high school students. Occasionally, I tutor middle-school kids too.
