My teaching is very interactive - I don't want to provide answers to students, but instead help them find the answers themselves. My goal is to identify the underlying knowledge that is missing - sometimes it is a missing key step on how to set up the problem, other times it is a missing piece of information from several grades past, or maybe its an algebraic trick that is missing. Whatever it is, the goal is to find the skill that the student needs, and then fix that - then the student is able to solve the problem for themselves. It builds confidence and it builds the student up for future successes.
I am currently a professor of physics at the University of Victoria. I have a Ph.D. in theoretical physics. I have been teaching for 11 years now and have great teaching evaluations. I also have a B.Sc. in Engineering from the University of Alberta.

Ph.D. Theoretical Physics from Carleton University in 2012
M.Sc. Theoretical Physics from Carleton University in 2007
B.Sc. Engineering Physics from University of Alberta in 2005
Teaching Experience:
Instructor at University of Victoria from 2016-Present
- Teach 9 courses per year, first year to fourth year
Instructor at Carleton University from 2015-2016
- Taught physics for engineers and electrodynamics
Teaching assistant at Carleton University from 2005-2012
- Managed labs, assignments, tutorials for multiple courses
Perfect! My daughter hit a few sections In physics that were not clear and causing issues and Travis was a great help get her back on track. He was punctual, thorough and was able to clearly explain things even with an online session. Would use again.

Superprof can also suggest algebra lessons to help you.
Learning isn't a problem, physics lessons for all!
Taking trigonometry lessons has never been easier: you're going to learn new skills.
