Joseph B.
Private tutor in Brookline, MA
Education
Third-year PhD Student in Physics at Boston University. My focus is in applications of and measurements using micro- and nano-mechanical systems. MA in Physics from Boston University in 2016 BS in Mechanical Engineering and a BS in Physics from Drexel University. Graduated summa cum laude in 2013
Experience
I have about 5 years of experience in one-on-one and group tutoring privately and through Drexel and Boston Universities. In addition to one-on-one tutoring, I offer group tutoring and review sessions at a discount from my normal rates. My listed rate of $50/hr is for introductory algebra-based physics and all of its prerequisites (algebra, geometry, etc.). My pricing changes for higher level courses because of the preparation required for effective tutoring. I also have three years of experience as a teaching fellow for the introductory physics course at BU. That includes working with groups of up to 80 students in studio-style classes, holding office hours for help outside of class, and leading discussions and review sessions. Before coming to BU, I also worked at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory as an engineering analysis co-op, I worked at Max Levy Autograph as a Project Engineering Co-op, and I worked at the Paulsboro Refining Company as an Engineering Reliability Co-op.
