There are different main approaches we can take together, and the choice is yours:
Submit your problems by email. I write related problems with full solutions. These examples are used by you as a guide to solve your original problems. You can then send your solutions to me for verification. We work together for as long as it takes to make sure you understand the solutions.
You can go straight to sending me your attempted solutions for verification. We work together until you're confident in your solutions and you understand the concepts.
Not in school but still need physics, math, or some other kind of problem solving? Contact me and I'll be happy to help out.
Reach out for an estimate. I charge $25 / hour. Typical assignments won't take more than an hour or two of total work, and I always try to have fast turnaround time.
My name is Michael. After completing my PhD in physics from the University of Ottawa, I moved to Vancouver to find work and enjoy the west coast lifestyle. While studying at university I gained expertise in problem solving and teaching, and I want to pass on this knowledge. It's enjoyable for me to tutor students and see the satisfaction that comes from learning. I decided to make the physicsguide platform so that I could teach students in a way that works with my schedule. I'm not trying to get rich doing this, I just enjoy helping people understand physics and math better, and some coffee / beer money doesn't hurt.
Working as a teaching assistant for 16 different courses back in Ottawa gave me experience teaching in a structured setting. After this, I taught physics classes at Columbia College in Vancouver. I enjoy teaching classes, and it was a good experience to create course material that students could benefit from. It wasn't that long ago that I was a student myself, so I can appreciate the challenges that go along with physics and math classes.
I also work at UBC in advanced research computing as a research consultant. Everything I do can be boiled down to being a problem solver, whether it's in teaching, research, or consulting. My experiences have also made me adept at communicating technical concepts in a clear and simple way.
