Testimonials

“Mr. Carpenter provides an AP Physics class experience which is exceptionally engaging, mixing genuine appreciation for his field with skillful teaching and a truly unique and intriguing personality… Out of every teacher I've ever had, Mr. Carpenter is perhaps the single most passionate one. His love for science and physics is amazing and fascinating, and it carries through to every aspect of his teaching style… It is rare to find a teacher such as this, where you can feel their sincere excitement to talk about their field, as well as their honest desire to spread that knowledge and passion to as many students as they can.

Mr. Carpenter is exceedingly committed, acquiring a multitude of objects and machines to use for labs and demonstrations of physics principles—but it is in that less tangible sense that he is truly unique, that transcendent zeal which he holds for science and the pursuit of greater understanding… He is always eager to answer students' questions about life, colleges and careers, or whatever topic they are wondering about… He takes genuine interest in what activities students share about, frequently asks for feedback, and makes an effort to include everyone and make sure everyone is on the same page.”
