Columbia University, Fu Foundation School of Engineering, M.S. in Applied Physics (Medical Physics)
Experience:
I have been tutoring for 9 years and I specialize in advanced classes that are closely related to fields such as physics, math, chemistry and engineering. One subject that I have been consistently getting good reviews on is the infamous Physical Chemistry (AKA P-Chem). This subject requires understanding of Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistics, Thermodynamics, Quantum Physics, Calculus and Differential Equations in order for someone to explain it well. As a physics major, I tend to have teaching advantage that others often don't have in tutoring Physical Chemistry and my graduate school education offers understanding of the application of Physical Chemistry in the field of Medicine, Chemistry and Engineering.
I have tutored many students from different schools in both undergraduate and graduate school levels both locally, in the NYC area and online.
These schools include Columbia, Cornell, NYU, Yeshiva University, CUNY, SUNY, Touro College, Manhattan College, Fordham University, Dartmouth, Stevens Institute of Technology, Rutgers-New Brunswick.
