Physics is my passion, and teaching is my calling. While I've always been good at math, my true love for it blossomed when I started to see how it applied to the real world—that's when physics entered the picture. I earned both my B.S. in Physics and my M.Ed in Teaching and Instruction from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). I've spent years teaching high school STEM classes, including Physics, Astronomy, and Engineering, and I'm currently an active virtual classroom teacher. I know physics can have a reputation for being difficult, and it's my goal to change that. I believe physics gives you the tools to accomplish hard things, and anyone can learn to use them. As your tutor, I will partner with you to tackle challenging concepts and build the confidence you need to succeed.

For almost a decade, I have dedicated my career to inspiring and guiding students through the fascinating world of physics and mathematics. I have a strong background in test preparation, but my primary focus lies in empowering students to comprehend fundamental concepts rather than simply achieving test success. My expertise stems from working as a physics teacher at a public high school just outside of Boston, and also as a summer school enrichment teacher at a private school in Andover, MA where I created and implemented an intensive high school accelerated math program. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Physics and a Master's degree in Education, enabling me to employ a unique blend of subject knowledge and pedagogical strategies to cater to diverse learning styles.

Susan Homan, M.S.C.E - Physics and Chemistry Tutor With nine years of experience teaching chemistry and physics in public schools, I’m passionate about helping students build critical thinking and problem-solving skills while developing a deeper understanding of science. I hold a B.S. in Integrated Science Education and an M.S. in Chemistry Education, and I specialize in tutoring chemistry and physics, including AP-level courses. My personalized approach addresses each student’s needs by considering their background knowledge, strengths, learning style, academic goals, and even their interests and hobbies. I understand that chemistry and physics can be challenging, and I’m excited to share strategies for tackling complex problems while building true conceptual understanding. This approach not only boosts grades but also prepares students for success in future science classes, opening the door to exciting opportunities in college, careers, and beyond.

Hello! I am a physics graduate (with high distinction) and have 5 years of tutoring experience and 3 years of classroom experience. I have expertise in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, having tutored pre-algebra through calculus 3, physics 1-3 (including all AP,) and general chemistry (including AP.) My style focuses on deep, true understanding of subjects, rather than rote memorization/getting the grade. It is so important to find joy in the things we do all day, and for students, this has never been truer than now. This joy only comes from true understanding- we tend to enjoy things more when we want to understand them and have a path to do so. I look forward to working with you soon!

Sean Martin is a National Board Certified Teacher in Physics with over 15 years of one-on-one tutoring experience and over 10 years as a high school physics teacher. A born instructor, teaching comes naturally to him. He believes that everyone is capable of learning and understanding as long as they have someone who can explain things in a relatable way, and Sean is a master at simplifying difficult, complex concepts into easily understandable ideas that relate to students’ lived experiences. He started his education career in Los Angeles while tutoring for Ellen Richards Education in 2008 and after a year of tutoring decided to pursue a career as an educator. He earned both his BS in Physics (2012) and his MS in Transformative Education and Social Change (2017) from West Chester University in PA and is certified in AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Physics C: Mechanics, and AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism.
