I have been teaching math and physics for more than 17 years as a private tutor. My tutoring experience taught me how to explain concepts that people find difficult to understand. I’ve had the chance to experiment with different approaches for explaining challenging material. Fundamentally, I’ve learned from teaching that understanding connections between concepts is much more important than memorizing facts. It’s not about how many equations you know, but about knowing how to get from one equation to another.

I completed my undergraduate studies at McGill University in electrical engineering, then did a M.Sc. in physics, and recently completed a Ph.D. in computer science. In my career as a researcher, I’ve been fortunate to learn from very inspirational teachers, who had the ability to distill the essential ideas and explain things in simple language. I want to recreate the same learning experience for you through my writing. I founded the Minireference Publishing company to revolutionize the textbook industry. We make textbooks that don’t suck.
