About
Hi, I’m Daniel
I have been drawn to physics for as long as I can remember. This passion has fueled a lifelong appreciation for the mathematics that shape the natural world. I am currently working toward my Bachelor’s degree in Physics at Georgia Tech and hold an Associate’s degree in Physics.
I have been tutoring for five years, working with students from grade 5 through graduate school. As a tutor, I care most about helping students understand the ideas behind the work. Math and physics become much less intimidating when the steps are connected to intuition, patterns, and clear reasoning.
My goal is for students to leave a session not only knowing how to solve a problem, but understanding it well enough to explain it to someone else. I want students to see the patterns behind the work, understand where they come from, and apply them on their own.

How
How Sessions Work
Each session is based on the student’s current class, assignments, and goals. We can review homework, prepare for tests, strengthen older skills, or work through difficult concepts from class.
Bring the material
When possible, please send problems, notes, review sheets, or test topics before the session. This helps me prepare and make better use of our time.
Work through the ideas
We go step by step, focusing on the reasoning behind the method instead of only chasing the answer.
Build independence
The goal is for students to leave with a clearer understanding of the topic and a better sense of how to approach similar problems on their own.

Interactive Lesson
Why 45° Goes Farthest
This lesson builds the range formula one piece at a time. The angle control in the launch activity also updates the velocity triangle and time in the air.
Step 1
Split the initial velocity
The initial velocity v0 splits into horizontal and vertical components. The triangle uses the same angle as the launch activity.
vₓ = v0 cos(θ)vᵧ = v0 sin(θ)
Step 2
Time comes from vertical motion
The vertical component vᵧ = v0 sin(θ) determines how long gravity takes to bring the ball back down.
time in air: T = 2v0 sin(θ)g
A larger vertical component gives more time in the air.
Step 3
Range multiplies both ideas
Range is horizontal speed multiplied by time. That is where both cosine and sine enter.
R = vₓT
R = v0 cos(θ) · 2v0 sin(θ)g
R(θ) = v02g sin(2θ)
Range: 0.0 m
Max height: 0.0 m
Time: 0.00 s
Try: Launch at least 3 angles, including 30°, 45°, and 60°, to compare their ranges.
Explanation
- Start: Launch at least 3 angles, including 30°, 45°, and 60°, to compare their ranges.
Final range function
R(θ) = v02g sin(2θ)
- v0 is initial velocity, and g is acceleration due to gravity.
- v02 appears because launch speed affects both horizontal speed and time in the air.
- sin(2θ) comes from multiplying cos(θ) by sin(θ).
- The largest range happens at 45° because sin(90°) = 1.
