Harvard and Yale grad for math and science tutoring

Informations du tuteur

À propos

I majored in math and physics at Yale, and received a PhD in statistical physics at Harvard. I have also worked in scientific areas throughout my career. As such, I have very deep expertise in math and science, and I enjoy passing that on to students. I am excellent at explaining things to people of all levels and abilities. I am highly experienced having tutored full time (>2000 hours per year) for the past few years. I primarily focus on math, physics, statistics, and chemistry, to college students, high school students, and professionals. I also tutor people in competition math / science such as AMC and AIME and USPhO, as I was top 4 in the US Chemistry Olympiad, top 20 in the US Physics Olympiad, and top 50 in the US Math Olympiad.

Knowledgeable, clear and amazing!

Fantastic!

Raphael is great at breaking down complex concepts in a very understandable way. He did more for my understanding of probability and how problems can be approached in 1 hours than me reading books or watching youtube videos for weeks!
