Zach

I am a scientist and entrepreneur with 7 years of tutoring experience. I hold a PhD in Applied Physics from Harvard, have helped run a start-up company, and am now authoring a physics text.

Tutoring Style

I am enthusiastic, encourage curiosity, and emphasize great mastery of fundamental concepts. Success comes through repeatedly struggling with material, attempting many varied problems, getting stuck, and getting unstuck. This takes time and consistency but it pays off greatly.

Success Story

One of the most rewarding parts of tutoring is seeing a challenging concept finally click for a student. I’ve helped students at many different academic levels—from high school and community college to Harvard University—to strengthen their understanding and achieve the grades they’re working toward. Whether we’re tackling a difficult calculus problem or breaking down a complex physics concept, I enjoy helping students connect the pieces, build confidence, and develop a deeper understanding of the material.

Hobbies & Interests

I am a professionally competent guitarist and painter who likes to cook and do crossword puzzles.
