Maximillian H.

Maximillian (“Maxx”) is an accomplished mathematician, physicist, and educator with more than a decade of tutoring experience helping students develop confidence and mastery in mathematics and physics. A Texas native, Maxx earned dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Mathematics and Physics, graduating Cum Laude from Washington State University, where he quickly discovered his passion for teaching while working in the university’s Mathematics Department.

During his time at Washington State, Maxx served as a teaching assistant, mathematics tutor, and Calculus II laboratory instructor, supporting students in subjects ranging from foundational algebra through advanced calculus, differential equations, and business mathematics. His experience teaching college-level mathematics gives him exceptional insight into helping students build strong conceptual understanding while preparing for higher-level coursework.

After returning to Texas, Maxx began his career as a research scientist supporting the United States Air Force, where he has spent several years developing simulations, conducting physics and vision science research, designing laboratory experiments, and writing software in Python and other programming languages. His work has earned multiple professional recognitions, including nominations for SAIC’s prestigious Rising Star Award, and he has co-authored peer-reviewed scientific publications in applied physics and human performance research.

Maxx specializes in mathematics and physics instruction from middle school through college, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I-III, Statistics, AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Physics, Computer Science, Business Math, and college mathematics courses. His professional experience allows him to connect classroom concepts to real-world scientific and engineering applications, helping students understand not only how to solve problems, but why the underlying concepts work.

Students and families appreciate Maxx’s patient, thoughtful teaching style and his ability to simplify even the most challenging topics into clear, logical steps. He believes lasting success comes from building deep conceptual understanding rather than memorizing procedures, and he enjoys seeing the moment when a difficult concept finally “clicks” for a student.

Outside of tutoring, Maxx enjoys visiting local farmers’ markets, reading, exploring new mathematical and scientific ideas, and relaxing with a good book and a cup of tea.
