Theoretical Physics

Students tend to have some knowledge of household names in modern science, such as the late Stephen Hawking, or Neil deGrasse Tyson, but no grasp on their grand research projects in physics. To get students interested and more involved, I am able to bridge the gap and bring understanding to concepts such as Schrodinger’s Cat, or Relativity, or Gravitational Waves etc.

For students that are interested in pursuing post-secondary education in the sciences, theoretical physics is an excellent area of interest as a precursor to calculus. Students who are really into the topic may build a foundation to some higher level courses such as quantum mechanics or the nature of atoms, molecules and spectroscopy.

Theoretical physics is way too in-depth of a topic to cover in high school, but that does not mean we should avoid exposing our kids to it. Not only can I expose them to some content, I can make sense of some of the concepts also.
