Walter Buhro

I’m a physics educator with a strong foundation in both secondary and college-level instruction. I hold advanced degrees in Physics and Teaching, and over the past eight years, I’ve taught AP Physics, Honors Physics, Environmental Science, and Engineering Design at various high schools, most recently at Pleasantville High School in New York. I also serve as an adjunct professor at Westchester Community College and have worked as an AP Physics Exam Reader for the College Board. In addition to teaching, I’ve led curriculum development initiatives and provided academic tutoring, with a focus on designing engaging, standards-aligned instruction that helps students succeed both in the classroom and on high-stakes exams.

I have eight years of full-time teaching experience in high school science, specializing in AP and Honors Physics, Environmental Science, and Engineering Design. I currently teach at Pleasantville High School in New York and have previously taught at schools in New Jersey. My experience also includes adjunct teaching at Westchester Community College, AP exam scoring for the College Board, and tutoring for SAT, ACT, and AP exams. In addition to classroom instruction, I’ve led curriculum development projects, integrated educational technology into labs and lessons, and advised extracurricular STEM programs.

I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching from The College of New Jersey, a Master of Science in Physics from Michigan State University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Physics with a minor in English Literature from Washington University in St. Louis, where I graduated cum laude.
