Informations du tuteur
À propos
Hi there, and welcome! I'm a PhD student in Physics at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Prior to this, I got my Master's of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo in Applied Math, and a Bachelor of Mathematics studying Mathematical Physics. My research interests are at the intersection of astrophysics, particle physics, cosmology, and gravitational waves.
I have been tutoring students since high school as a volunteer peer tutor in math and physics, and decided to continue tutoring throughout university. At the University of Waterloo I was a private tutor for several courses (see below), where I helped several students improve their academic performances. I've also been a teaching assistant for many courses at both the University of Waterloo and Queen's University (see below), and was awarded an Outstanding TA Award for my contributions.
If you're struggling in your classes, or if you just want to deepen your understanding of physics and mathematics, then you've come to the right place! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you had any questions!
----------
To see if we'd be a good fit, the first 15 minutes of the first session is free! After that we can decide whether to continue working together.

Excellent Physics Tutor
Leo is an a outstanding mentor and tutor. He has tutored me in physics in preparation to take the MCAT. Leo assisted me in grasping tricky concepts by breaking down questions and explanations into their fundamental components. Leo has patience and is very passionate about physics, which made my experience memorable. Difficult questions became easy and simplistic with his guidance and teaching skills.
