Testimonials

Students

• I remember going into junior year. I was skeptical about physics. I was worried that I would not understand the material. I also assumed that physics would not be interesting to me. I was wrong. The way you taught class was interesting and engaging. I always understood the course material better when it was taught in a fun and explorative way. --Ajmal
