I have many years of experience in Mathematics and Physics. I hold undergraduate degrees in Physics and Mathematics, as well as a Master of Science in Physics that included years of graduate research experience. Professionally, I have worked at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) in Michigan, performing Physics research in relativistic heavy ion collision experiments. The work was theoretical physics research, which involved computational methods and scientific programming. Next, I worked at the leading US law firm Fish & Richardson. I worked closely with cutting edge machine learning clients to interview their engineers and draft patents for the US patent office. The companies included, Google, Waymo, DeepMind, and many others.
My experience is education is also extensive. In Physic and Mathematics, I have led undergraduate Physics laboratories for two years, co-led an interactive Bio-Physics course with a two faculty members for a year, acted as a teachers assistant in multiple capacities, and have run my own private tutoring company for nearly ten years. In 2013, I also taught basic English, Science, and Mathematics to 25 children in the city of Khon Kaen, Thailand.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my professional experience in both Physics research and the legal field. However, I have found my time in education to be much more personally fulfilling. I enjoy the constant challenge of presenting and re-presenting challenging material in news ways until you see the sudden click behind the student's eyes. Teaching is both a science and an art, and the constant dance with the students for understanding is the most satisfying role I have found so far.
It is my goal to bring my experience in English, Mathematics, and Physics to students in Asia, and to progress my career and teaching credentials. I spent much of 2013 in Thailand, and I earnestly desire return to Asia to teach again now that I have much more professional and life experience.
I am earnestly curious person who loves exploring new places, cultures, and ideas. I bring my passion to the classroom where I attempt to instill the same love of knowledge and problem solving mindset in my students.
I sincerely hope to hear back from your school concerning available opportunities,
Best,
John
