The majority of my students are between the ages of 8-14. We often underestimate what a 9-year-old can grasp because we’ve been taught that physics equals "hard math." At Physics Literacy, we flip that. If a child is curious enough to ask how the world began, they are old enough to understand the answer. We focus on the conceptual beauty first—the intuition. The math is just a tool we'll pick up later once we’ve fallen in love with the ideas. My program treats children as capable thinkers. We introduce real physics ideas early—because curiosity shouldn’t have to wait until high school.

Actually, they might be my favorite type of student. Many children struggle with "plug and chug" math because they don't see the purpose, but are actually brilliant conceptual thinkers. We start with the "Why," and suddenly, the math starts to make sense because it finally has a purpose.

This isn’t a tutoring business; it’s a community of critical thinkers. In a standard classroom, the students are a vessel for facts. Here, you are a thinker, a researcher, and a teacher! The kids will be continuously challenged in ways that you won't experience in a standard science classroom. Kids don't just listen to lectures; we debate, we do experiments, we write sci-fi stories and give scientific talks to our peers. At Physics Literacy, we are building critical thinkers, not just test-takers. Many students join because they feel under-challenged in school and are looking for deeper intellectual engagement.

It is as real as it gets. We venture far beyond Newtonian mechanics. We delve into the geometry of spacetime, the nature of light, and the paradoxes of quantum mechanics. My goal is Physics Literacy, the ability to read the language of the universe. I’ve taught graduate students at Brandeis university and 8-year-olds in this program; the "real" science is the same, we just change the way we climb the mountain. Instead of simplifying physics until it becomes trivial, we preserve the beauty and depth of the ideas while making them accessible.

Physics Literacy is for intensely curious children. Curiosity is the only prerequisite. If your child is the one who keeps asking "But why?" until you run out of answers, they belong here. We are a global family of explorers, and we believe that every child has the right to understand the laws that govern their existence.

The ultimate goal of physics literacy is not just to learn formulas or pass exams—it is to understand the fundamental laws that govern the universe and to develop the ability to reason about the world using evidence and logic. When students become physics-literate, they begin to see patterns behind everyday phenomena: why objects move the way they do, how energy flows, how light travels, and how the universe is structured. More importantly, they learn how to think—how to ask deep questions, build models, and solve complex problems. These habits of mind extend far beyond physics and become powerful tools for understanding the world. The goal is not to rush students through physics, but to build the kind of understanding that allows them to rediscover the ideas for themselves.
