Zachary
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +36 Subjects
I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude from Utah State University with a minor in Mathematics, a B.S. in Physics, and a B.A. in Philosophy. I work in research related to quantum cosmology and the philosophy of time. I have years of experience teaching and tutoring in math, science, and literature at the high school and university level. By a comprehensive study and mastery of the ACT test, I achieved a composite score of 35 on the exam. I enjoy sharing the techniques and strategies I used to score in the 99th percentile, knowing that all student can increase their scores and master the test with guidance and practice. My approach in ACT tutoring focusses on strengthening key content knowledge, increasing answer accuracy and speed, and building up an understanding of the test dynamics. I work one-on-one with students to develop a custom study plan. Equipped with these skills and background, students will feel confident and primed for success on test day. My tutoring in mathematics and physics draws on many of those same principles and also focuses on intuitive approaches to understanding the methods in a straightforward, meaningful way. I affirm that learning is a source of great satisfaction and a powerful tool, and I enjoy sharing the experience of education with my students.
Rashmi
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +37 Subjects
Hi! My name is Rashmi and I am recent college graduate looking to help student achieve academic success. I graduated with a degree in Biomedical Engineering as well as minors in both biology and chemistry. I have a lot of experience as a tutor and have helped many previously struggling student ace their classes. I can teach many subjects such as Algebra, Pre Algebra, Algebra II, Geometry, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. My teaching philosophy is to help the student and put their needs first- I am here to guide them and help them in any way that I can. I typically start of my lessons going over the homework and any questions the student may have, then I do a review on what we learned last lesson, and then I move onto a new topic. This reinforcement technique is what I find brings the most success in the learning process.
Cera
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +58 Subjects
I am a graduate of Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering. I am also a Salt Lake Community College graduate. I love building things, challenging the status quo, and studying the way the world works. I have tutored for just over three years, and I tutor physics, algebra, reading, and test prep. Physics is one of my passions because I love learning about the world around me. Physics is intuitive and learning the laws that govern the world around us helps expand our understanding. I am a very hands-on tutor. I believe that working directly with things and especially working on projects of interest helps us learn and make connections better than anything else. I love analogies, experiments, and anything else that helps bring the problems off the page and into the student's life. I love to invent and build things and I spend most of my spare time working on humanitarian teams through my university or sewing my own clothing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find circular motion, rotational dynamics, and angular momentum conceptually challenging because they require visualizing motion in multiple dimensions simultaneously. Electromagnetic induction and Faraday's law are also common pain points—many students memorize the formulas without grasping why changing magnetic flux creates an induced current. Additionally, thermodynamics concepts like entropy and the second law of thermodynamics tend to feel abstract until connected to real molecular behavior. A tutor can help bridge the gap between formula manipulation and the underlying physics principles driving these phenomena.
Vector decomposition and force diagrams are foundational to Grade 12 Physics, but many students struggle to visualize how forces combine or why breaking forces into components matters. Tutors work through systematic approaches—drawing accurate free-body diagrams, resolving forces into x and y components, and applying Newton's laws methodically. This skill directly transfers to more complex topics like projectile motion, inclined planes, and circular motion, where weak vector fundamentals often cause cascading confusion. With personalized practice, students develop the spatial reasoning needed to tackle multi-force scenarios confidently.
Unit conversions require understanding not just the conversion factor, but why it matters—converting 100 km/h to m/s isn't just arithmetic; it's recognizing that the same speed looks different in different units. Many students rush through conversions without checking if their answer makes physical sense, leading to errors that cascade through multi-step problems. Tutors emphasize dimensional analysis as a problem-solving tool, not just a mechanical step, helping students build intuition about whether their answer is reasonable. This approach transforms unit conversions from a tedious chore into a built-in error-checking mechanism.
Lab work in Grade 12 Physics requires understanding the scientific method, identifying variables, and interpreting data—skills that go beyond just following procedure sheets. Tutors help students design experiments with clear hypotheses, recognize sources of error, and analyze whether results support their predictions. Whether measuring acceleration, investigating energy conservation, or exploring electromagnetic properties, personalized instruction ensures students understand what they're measuring and why. This deeper engagement with experiments strengthens both conceptual understanding and the scientific reasoning skills colleges expect.
Energy and momentum problems require students to identify which conservation laws apply, choose the right equations, and understand when kinetic energy is conserved versus when it's lost to heat or deformation. Many students memorize formulas without recognizing that elastic collisions conserve both momentum and kinetic energy, while inelastic collisions only conserve momentum. Tutors teach a systematic framework: identify the system, determine if external forces act, apply the appropriate conservation law, and check if the answer makes physical sense. This strategic approach helps students tackle unfamiliar problem variations with confidence rather than relying on pattern matching.
Concepts like electric fields, magnetic fields, and wave behavior are inherently abstract—students can't see them directly, which makes understanding their properties challenging. Tutors use multiple representations: diagrams showing field lines, animations or sketches of wave propagation, and real-world analogies (like ripples in water for wave behavior). Breaking down electromagnetic waves into oscillating electric and magnetic fields, or explaining how field strength varies with distance, becomes clearer with visual support and concrete examples. This multi-modal approach helps students build mental models they can apply to new situations rather than memorizing isolated facts.
Effective exam prep requires more than reviewing notes—students need practice applying concepts to novel problems, understanding common misconceptions, and managing time under pressure. Tutors help identify weak areas through diagnostic problem sets, then target those gaps with targeted practice. They also teach problem-solving strategies: reading carefully, drawing diagrams, identifying given information, selecting appropriate equations, and checking answers for reasonableness. Regular practice with past exam questions and timed problem sets builds both content mastery and the test-taking confidence students need to perform well.
When students see how Newton's laws explain vehicle safety systems, how energy conservation applies to power generation, or how wave properties enable medical imaging, abstract formulas become meaningful. Tutors connect concepts to tangible examples—explaining why seatbelts and airbags work through momentum and impulse, or how renewable energy systems apply thermodynamic principles. This contextual learning deepens conceptual understanding and helps students retain information longer. It also builds appreciation for why Grade 12 Physics matters, whether students pursue STEM fields or simply want to understand the technology and natural phenomena around them.
