Colm K.

Private tutor in Boston, MA

Education

- Bachelor's Degree: Math & physics (double major) (National University of Ireland) - Master's: Physics (New York University) - PhD: Physics (New York University) - Currently employed as a postdoc at Harvard University

Experience

- I have over 12 years of experience, of classroom teaching and of one-on-one tutoring in math and physics, at all levels from middle school to college. - I have extensive experience in science communication -- writing articles and blog posts, and making online educational videos, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8_fZPHasdo - In all these settings, I work hard to make seemingly difficult concepts clear and intuitive. - I take a friendly, accessible and personable approach with kids and adults alike. - I believe that learning math and physics should be enjoyable and engaging. (I've also noticed that the more a student likes it, the better he or she does in the test!) - I have published several articles in prestigious scientific journals.
