I’m Bryan, an undergraduate student at Princeton University majoring in physics who is hoping to enter academia someday. I’ve always loved learning physics and also the math behind it, and earned bronze in the 2019 USA Physics Olympiad. I completed a high school research internship in atomic physics at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, one of the best experiences of my life so far. Despite this, I’ve always felt that my true calling was in helping others in these subjects through teaching and tutoring. In high school, I taught several weekly classes for middle school math competitions, and also a class on advanced physics for high schoolers before going to college, all of which received good reviews. I’m currently drafting an introductory textbook on classical mechanics, with a strong emphasis on utilizing ideas of calculus and linear algebra for a stronger understanding of the intricate connections between math and physics. At Princeton Tutoring, I hope to continue to help others through tutoring in a variety of subjects, and especially to share my passions for physics and math.
