About
Struggling with math or science?
Working hard but feeling Stuck?
I can help.
I've coached many frustrated and struggling students to success over eighteen years as a college physics professor. While the struggle is real and frustration is normal, the path to success is often closer than you think. In our sessions, we slow things down and untangle the confusion building understanding and confidence step by step.

I really enjoyed working with Gerry, he made the content super fun and manageable. He explained everything thoroughly and answered my questions no matter how simple. It was very clear how passionate Gerry was about the subject, and how much he wanted me to care about the subject too. He made the challenge rewarding when I would finally understand something. He challenged me to think differently about math and learn how to examine systems instead of just solving equations to get to an arbitrary answer. I'm not super interested in Physics, but Gerry helped me enjoy it and feel accomplished for understanding and mastering the content
