Introduction: I am a Physics PhD student at Stevens Institute of Technology and I teach Physics to Freshman and Sophomores. I have almost a decade experience tutoring and teaching Math and Physics of all levels, from Middle school to University level students. I also tutor ACT (Math & Science), SAT Math and SAT subject tests (AP Math, AP Physics). Lastly, I tutor all academic subjects of Math and Physics. My business stands out in how I teach Math & Physics. I teach with passion, clarity, and patience. I teach these subjects in a way where they finally make sense and eliminate all confusion that arises. I enjoy the joy students feel when they finally understand a math or physics concept. I also enjoy the leaving the student with the knowledge that they can not only master the subject matter at hand but to also apply a new efficient mindset that will allow them to learn anything in general.

Kenneth was an amazing tutor. He first asked me what I was having trouble with so we spent the entire session reviewing what was actually important to learn over what I already knew. He quizzed me with practice problems and critiqued both my application and solution to each problem. Awesome and best bang for my buck ever -- I got an A+ on my final exam!

Kenneth helped me with college algebra, more specifically log functions and asymptotes. He is a great tutor: he is very patient, he knows the material really well, he explains things in a way that is easy to understand, he actually loves math and he cares about student success. He was able to assess my level of understanding and explain the key concepts that I was missing to fully understand the material, which was very important to me. He is also very easy to get along with: 10/10, would recommend!

Kenneth was helpful in helping me understand the problem. We broke down the problem step by step. This helps me to not get too overwhelmed. I was able to understand more of what went on. He was also patient. I like how well he explained the math problems. Overall, friendly turtor and knows his math for sure.

Kenneth is very knowledgable about math and he was able to help teach my daughter how to do algebra. My daughter now says that she gets it!! I liked that he first assessed my child's level of math and based the training on that in order to get her where she needed to be. It didn't take long at all for her to get the hang of it. Bottom line, he's amazing at what he does.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Customers should know that what they pay is worth their money. I am serious about learning and teaching students mastery and they will get a dedicated, passionate, and patient teacher in Math and Physics that can explain concepts in clear and efficient ways. I am based in Hoboken NJ and have two pricing options. (Each lesson = 1 hr) --------------------------------------- Per Lesson Pricing: (Inside Hoboken, NJ) $100/hr Lesson Package Pricing: 5 lessons for $450 (10% discount) 10 lessons for $800 (20% discount) 15 lessons for $1050 (30% discount) --------------------------------------- Per Lesson Pricing: (Outside Hoboken, NJ) $120/hr Lesson Package Pricing: 5 lessons for $540 (10% discount) 10 lessons for $960 (20% discount) 15 lessons for $1260 (30% discount) ---------------------------------------
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1) Meet with student and I get to know the student's struggles by looking at their homework or classwork. 2) I build a general breakdown within 15 mins and I am able to know what the major problem areas are. 3) I work to fill in the gaps in the student's knowledge and remove any misconceptions or confusions along the way. 4) I build the student's confidence in doing math or physics problems from the start of the first session until the last. 5) Once the student gains a certain level of confidence, (depends on the student), I switch over to coaching mode and challenge the student and teach the student for mastery of the subject. 6) After the subject is mastered, I teach general learning concepts in how to apply their analytical mindset in any subject they learn in life.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I got my Bachelor's degree in Physics with a Minor in Mathematics from Drexel University. I also am a PhD student specializing in Quantum Information and teleportation at Stevens Institute of Technology. I have almost a decade of experience in Math and Physics tutoring or teaching. I am currently a teaching assistant at Stevens (for over 3 years) and have also lectured in a Physics class (~100 students.) Math: Algebra I, II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I, II, III, IV, AP Calculus, Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Statistics, Differential Equations I, II, SAT/ACT (Math/Science), SAT2 (AP Math, AP Physics), GRE Math, etc. Physics: Kinematics (Newton's Laws), Fundamentals of Physics I, II, III, Quantum Mechanics I , II, III, Electromagnetism, etc.
