About Elena
I am an experienced Physics Educator with 8 years of teaching experience across high schools & colleges in the US. I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Physics & have always been fascinated by the "how" & "why" of the universe. My teaching career has been defined by my ability to make high-level science accessible & exciting for younger students. I have a proven track record of helping students significantly improve their scores in Quantitative Physics & general Science courses.
I have been honored with the Stellar Science Educator Award & the Quantum Merit Medal for my innovative approach to online science instruction. These recognitions highlight my ability to engage students in a virtual setting & my commitment to academic excellence. I am deeply familiar with the K-12 & introductory college physics curricula, ensuring that my lessons are perfectly aligned with what you are learning in school. I am dedicated to providing a high-quality, live learning experience that helps you excel.
Outside of the lab, I am an amateur astronomer & love spending nights stargazing with my telescope. I also enjoy distance running, which helps me stay focused & energized, & I’m an enthusiast of historical biographies. My love for Astrophysics isn’t just a job; it’s a hobby that I bring into every lesson to inspire my students. I look forward to helping you navigate the complexities of Physics & discovering the wonders of the universe together.

Physics is the study of how the universe works, & in my live one-to-one lessons, we will explore everything from the smallest subatomic particles to the vastness of the cosmos. Our curriculum covers fundamental Science principles, advancing into complex topics like Thermodynamics, Astrophysics, & Nuclear Physics. For high school students, I focus on making the laws of motion & energy tangible through everyday examples. For college freshmen, we dive into Quantitative Physics, focusing on the mathematical rigor required for engineering & physics majors.
We will spend time mastering the art of problem-solving, specifically how to approach word problems & convert them into solvable equations. Whether we are calculating the heat transfer in Thermodynamics or discussing the lifecycle of stars in Astrophysics, I use visual aids & simulations to bring these concepts to life. I believe that understanding the theory is just the first step; being able to apply it through Quantitative Physics is where the true mastery lies. We will work through your lab reports & textbook chapters with a focus on deep conceptual clarity.
Nuclear Physics & modern Science can often feel abstract, but I break these topics down into digestible modules. We will discuss the forces that hold atoms together & the energy released during nuclear reactions, always relating it back to current events & technological advancements. My goal is to spark your curiosity about the natural world while giving you the academic edge needed for top grades. We will also touch upon the history of scientific discovery, learning about the brilliant minds who shaped our current understanding of the physical world.
As your tutor, I provide a space where no question is too small or too "out there." We will explore the mysteries of black holes, the laws of gravity, & the fascinating behavior of light. I prepare all my students for the rigors of college-level science by emphasizing critical thinking & the scientific method. By the end of our sessions, you will not only be prepared for your exams but will also have a newfound appreciation for the physical laws that govern our existence.
