I retired as an Air Force Lt Col with lots of experience applying and teaching the physics I learned in college. I was an assistant professor of physics for 3 & 1/2 years at the Air Force Academy after flying on reconnaissance missions for 9 years just prior to that. I taught applied physics at the British Royal Air Force Test Pilot School for 2 years and then taught undergrad algebra-based and calculus-based physics at the Illinois Institute of Technology after my time in the USAF.

Al G is a gem! Can?t say enough great things. He?s been a tremendous help restoring my daughter?s level of confidence in her physics class.

In December of 2023, there was an opportunity to pursue a commission in the USAF. In high school, I struggled to keep passing grades in my math classes, so I knew this test would be daunting. Al was welcoming and understood my needs and areas of struggle. We met multiple times a week to practice problems and discuss the operations involved to get the correct answer, which helped me grasp the concepts and forced me to show my work so I could see where I made a mistake. Al also took the time to create mock tests, which were extremely beneficial. I cannot recommend Al enough if you are looking for a AFOQT math tutor! In the four weeks we met, I can honestly say I have learned more from him than I did in my entire high school math career. As a result of Al's quality instruction and dedication, I successfully passed the AFOQT and exceeded my expectations. I owe so much to Al, as he was one of the key people who helped me and got me to the next step of pursuing my dream as an officer in the USAF.

I wish I could copy/paste the text we just received from our daughter who was struggling in her AP Physics class. Instead, I'll just have to resort to copying the text: "I GOT AN A ON MY PHYSICS TEST!!!! I GOT THE CORRECT ANSWER FOR THE HARDEST PROBLEM ON THE TEST AND BLEW UP THE CURVE...I'M SO EXCITED!!!!" Enough said

Al helped my daughter in college-level Physics 5C (Electricity & Magnetism). He provided guidance & corrections on past tests. She had her tests regraded and was able to bump up her score. It helped her finals as well.

Al is so knowledgeable and dedicated. He is a great friend instructor! Thank you for your dedication. My son enjoyed working with you! Al explains material in a way that makes sense. It is a pleasure to work with him.

Mr. G was very patient and thoroughly broke down the process that provided better understanding. In just the first session, confidence in my daughter has been restored. Invaluable!

My daughter loves Al. Super professional, very encouraging, really has helped her understand physics. Breaks down problems so they're understandable, takes the frustration out of learning and turns it into something the student can take pride in. Highly recco Al.
- Jason C. from Charlotte, NC
Al made the most of our hour together and was able to break portions of the problems down really well to ensure that I grasped all parts of what we were working on. I highly recommend his service!
- Anna P. from Chesapeake, VA
From experiences of in person tutors who lack excitement, passion, or clear understanding: Al is the definition of amazing, so gracious, very relaxed and able to relate to quickly. Couldn?t ask for a better person!
- Jonathan C. from Missouri City, TX
Al was very friendly and helpful throughout our lessons. He helped me understand difficult material and helped me work through problems. I was able to get a 5 on AP Physics C: Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism because of his help.
- Ronit B. from Millbrae, CA
He was very knowledgeable and explained the material in a way that I could understand. I really needed help with college level calculus-based electromagnetic physics. I started almost having a D after a really bad first midterm and decided to get his help. I ended up with an A+ in the class! Not only was he really fantastic at explaining difficult topics, he also gave me the confidence I needed to do well. I would definitely recommend having him as your tutor!!!!
- Jessica V. from Durham, NC
Very patient and made sure to help you find the correct answer if a mistake was made. Made sure to ask questions to check my understanding and would explain if I misunderstood something.
- Tyler D. from West Lafayette, IN
Al has been helping me with College prep high school physics and AP physics this year and last year! He gives very in-depth explanations of physics problems and is very patient. He helps out with homework and test prep which is great!
- Carmen M. from New Park, PA
Thank goodness for Mr. G. He turned complex concepts into simple ideas that I can understand. I will definitely use him this semester to make it through this Physics course. He truly understands the content and knows how to break it down so that his students will understand, too.
- Anjulia R. from Kennesaw, GA
Great tutor and very patient with my 10th grader. We started with his tutoring sessions yesterday. Hashim is already confident and hopes to continue with Mr. Al. Very pleasant and helpful.
- Amina K. from Woodbridge, VA
My daughter said she really enjoyed her tutoring session! Mr. G made it very easy to understand and process the example equations. Overall, would definitely recommend!!
- Malissa W. from Milwaukee, WI
Makes the hard things easy through wonderful explanations! Came in not understanding somethings left having a complete understanding for the rest!
- Rawala A. from Falls Church, VA
Al taught Physics and was very detailed and attentive. He also recommended a book to help guide me through the material I was trying to master. I feel more confident. He also encouraged me and confirmed that I was getting the material as I went step by step towards the answer. He is a great tutor and I feel I can improve my grade with his help.
