Are you struggling in a difficult course and need some guidance?

I typically work with high school and college students primarily in math, physics, chemistry, and statistics. I have a BS in math and physics from Yale and a PhD in statistical physics from Harvard. I'm excellent at being able to explain challenging concepts to people of all levels and abilities. As of this writing, I?ve tutored over 3000 hours with Wyzant and have over 1000 five star ratings. and focus on problem solving (in...

Raphael helped my son review for his physics quiz . He said he knew the material well and fingers crossed he will get a good grade. Raphael was also quick in responding to my questions . Will definitely book with him again.

Raphael explained how to complete the square so well. He made it very easy to understand. Thank you! Very good teacher
- Nicole C. from Granite Bay, CA
My son practices AMC 8 math questions set with him. He is a very experienced teacher. He is very detailed when explaining and if my son is having trouble with any specific questions, he provided more questions similar to those. He is very cooperative; any time we ask any questions he emails us back always.

He is completely patient and makes the experience of being tutored enjoyable. He is a very competent person who I could understand easily. He took time and actually helped with two subjects in my college physics and college math. I will definitely be using him more.

My personal math tutor is a true inspiration. Their unwavering dedication to my success and their ability to make even the most complex math problems seem manageable is awe-inspiring. They patiently guide me through every concept until I grasp it completely, and their passion for teaching is evident in every session. Thanks to their support, my confidence in math has soared, and my grades have improved significantly. They are not just a tutor but a mentor who genuinely cares about my progress.

Raphael did an outstanding job breaking the problem down to a level that I could follow, just outstanding job on communication, expertise, teaching skills. What I most appreciated was his ability to not only explain his work, but his ability to visually explain through diagrams what was happening. Would absolutely work with him again, outstanding!!!
- Deanna B. from Marietta, GA
It went really well! We covered quite a few topics and it was a big help, having someone to ask specific questions clears things up quite a bit
- Paul H. from Antelope, OR
Went over Probability and Brain Teasers in prep for a Quantitative Trading Interview. Raphael was very helpful, and helped me better prepare for these type of assessments in the future.

Raphael is the most knowledgeable and kind tutor I have ever had. I have a graduate level statistics course and he can answer all my questions.
- Rick C. from Hayward, CA
Raphael worked diligently and patiently wuth my daughter who needed to pass a statistics course for her transfer to a Cal. College. He helped her go through all the weekly assignments and her practice tests. My daughter was able to pass the course and now so released to not have to take any more math for her undergrad requirements.
- Kerry Y. from Palo Alto, CA
My daughter was enrolled in a very tough college Linear Algebra (with proofs) course and had a difficult time understanding the material. Raphael was able to explain very complicated and technical concepts with clarity and nuance. She was faltering a bit at the beginning of the semester but finished with an A on her final exam! We recommend him to any student!
- Jeannie F. from Boca Raton, FL
Excellent knowledge bearer. Authentic content shared. Very useful tutor for students Punctual & effective with teaching students. My son throughly enjoys his session. He teaches stuff that other tutors take longer or don?t know to teach. He is very good at explaining the topic with clarity aswell
- Seema S. from San Ramon, CA
Raphael has really helped my son in college physics. My son has never taken a physics class even high school and he would he completely lost if it wasn?t for Raphael! Thank you so much!!
- Ethan W. from Chicago, IL
He is patient and understands what you?re having trouble with. Just be sure to thoroughly explain what you are finding difficult so he can help the best to his ability
- Steven G. from Roselle Park, NJ
He expected me to be ready and he understood everything and was able to explain it to me and I wish that I had found him sooner. I always look forward to talking with him
- Liam P. from Pittsburgh, PA
Raphael did a great job teaching mean material for my quantum mechanics physics course. It?s hard to find somebody on this app who has a thorough understanding of quantum mechanics and is able to teach it as well. I really appreciate the time he spent with me, and I?m looking forward to my future sessions with Raphael when I have an inquiry for my advanced physics courses
- zach H. from Albany, OR
Raphael tutored my son for his F=ma exam and he is a lot more confident now ... His grades have improved with the 10 lesson that we did. We will be continuing with Raphael for other competitive Physics exams and the Physics camp.
- Sowmya V. from Irvine, CA
He was great teacher, quick at checking my work and problem sets. He is a probability expert and can teach it very well including conditional probability. i understood all I was confused about earlier.
- T K. from Dover, MA
My son had his first class today and Raphael was very patient, reviewed concepts with my son, slowed down as needed so he could grasp them. We will definitely be scheduling our next lessons as well.
- Tilak T. from Palo Alto, CA
My daughter was very concerned about her upcoming math test, but but she and Raphael worked together, and she brought home an A! We couldn't have hoped for more. Very nice work!!!
