About Craig

I tutor math (primarily algebra through calculus BC), physics, and astronomy.

* Ph.D. in astrophysics (big bang cosmology, focus on dark matter) from the University of Chicago

* Eight years as a professor of physics and astronomy with outstanding (4.7-star) student reviews: (concealed information)

* Well versed in modern student-centered pedagogical techniques

* Countless office hours helping students with math and science at a wide range of levels, plus other private tutoring and educational outreach work

* Bachelor of Science in Economics (entrepreneurial management) and Bachelor of Science in Engineering (mechanical engineering) from the University of Pennsylvania

Tutoring is usually at least a little bit beneficial because it involves additional time engaging with the subject matter and one-on-one attention. But the biggest benefits of tutoring--obtaining genuine understanding and even developing a life-changing comfort with academics--are rare because most tutors have a limited understanding of how people learn. Helpful hints and nudges when working one-on-one are nice, but they tend to give both you and your tutor a false sense of accomplishment, leading to confusion when your test performance barely improves.

You want a tutor who doesn't just point out how to do math problems but who understands student-centered learning and helps you develop understanding and, ultimately, the confidence to figure out how to approach and solve a problem--rather than just helping you amass a mental catalog of "what you're supposed to do with this kind of problem"--a catalog that's way too large for anyone to remember. For better or worse, math (and its application to science and business and computing and lots of other things) is a long-term part of our lives. You want to develop key skills and instincts now so that you don't suffer through years of ongoing struggle. I can help you do that.

I am also well qualified in writing and editing and can assist there as well:

For 12 years (until early 2022), I was Editor-in-Chief of the Los Alamos National Laboratory science and technology magazine: (concealed information)

I also co-wrote the textbook "Your Cosmic Context: an Introduction to Modern Cosmology": (concealed information)

Perfect! Craig has done a great job tutoring our high school daughter. He helps explain the concepts she is learning in class and she is much more confident in the subject now. She has gotten A's on her tests since working with Craig. We highly recommend Stellar Math and Science!

If you are looking for someone who will support your education by strengthening your problem solving skills, look no further. Craig Tyler is an incredible teacher. His pedagogy emphasizes the journey to the solution, guiding and challenging you as you get there. That's the most important part, YOU get there. The best thing about Craig is that he never just gives you the answer. He will ask guiding questions to steer you in the right direction, he may ask you to take a step back from the problem to see it in a new light. Most importantly he encourages the understanding of the fundamentals of the problem/concept, so when you have to tackle similar problems on your own, you are prepared.
