Balthazar

Balthazar is a physicist and mathematician with degrees in physics, nuclear physics, and mathematics. He has tutored for university departments, athletic programs, and local families, helping students navigate algebra, precalculus, calculus, and physics from high school through college. In sessions, Balthazar takes a conversational, question-driven approach—encouraging students to explain their reasoning, gently highlighting contradictions, and guiding them toward clearer understanding. He values both rigor and kindness, balancing careful attention to detail with genuine encouragement. Balthazar believes that math and physics can be deeply beautiful and that everyone deserves a chance to experience that beauty at their own pace. He is comfortable working with a wide range of learners, including those who feel anxious or “bad at math.” Outside of tutoring, Balthazar is a dedicated athlete who enjoys lifting and training, and he often uses examples from sports and everyday life to ground abstract concepts.
