Dr. Mike Vignal

About Me

I have tutored learners from kindergarten through university in math and physics for twenty years. I hold a PhD in Physics from Oregon State University, taught introductory physics at Willamette University, and have 10 years research experience focusing on the teaching and learning of physics (Google Scholar Link). 

Whether you are struggling with course material, in need of a challenge, are a professional working towards a specific credential, or just want to learn more about math or physics, I'm happy to help, either one-on-one or with a group of learners. I work to build on intuition and real-world experience, relating the material to the interests of my students. My teaching style involves many active-learning approaches, so my students should expect to work with me as we build up their understanding, knowledge, and confidence.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, or to schedule a free twenty-minute consultation. I look forward to working with you!

Lessons

Online meetings will be over Zoom and scheduled via Google Calendar. 

In-person meetings are also an option for students between Eugene and Portland: I am based in Salem, and will assess a travel fee based on travel time.
