Physics Dave

Over twenty years teaching experience in the United States and internationally. Have taught IB Diploma Physics, AP Physics, IGCSE Physics, and other science subjects at the middle school, high school and university level. I have also served as Head of Science at an international school

Learning is a dynamic process where new knowledge must be built on connections already established in the brain. The teaching resources I have created are designed with questions and tasks meant to prompt student’s thinking and reflection on what they know, and to connect new ideas and understanding to their existing knowledge in logical steps. I use clear and engaging visuals to help illustrate ideas, and streamlined consistent formatting to avoid distraction from what is most important. I believe that to secure new knowledge, students must be given opportunities to apply the newly presented ideas and skills to novel scenarios and problems. These opportunities are built into the resources I have created.

Master of Arts in Teaching Bachelors of Science in Physics

I am married to a brilliant educator and I have three grown children.
