Dylan
Certified Physics Tutor
Dylan
BA Northwestern University
1+ Years Tutoring

Dylan has taken both mechanics and electricity/magnetism at the college level through Northwestern's engineering program, giving him deep familiarity with everything from free-body diagrams to circuit analysis. He unpacks problems by identifying which physical principles apply first — conservation of energy, Newton's laws, Gauss's law — before touching a single equation.

Shawn
Certified Physics Tutor
Shawn
MS University of California Los Angeles
1+ Years Tutoring

Most physics struggles come down to one thing: students can plug numbers into an equation but can't set up the problem from a word description. Shawn teaches the translation step — drawing free-body diagrams, identifying which conservation law applies, choosing a coordinate system — before touching any algebra. His chemistry Master's gives him strong quantitative instincts, and his 4.9 rating speaks to how clearly he communicates across both conceptual and calculation-heavy topics.

Michael
BA UNLV
1+ Years Tutoring

Kinematics and free-body diagrams tend to be the first place students realize physics is really applied math — and that's where Michael steps in. His deep comfort with calculus and algebra means he can show exactly how equations of motion are derived, not just handed down as formulas to memorize. He also teaches unit analysis as a built-in error-checking tool, which saves students from careless mistakes on exams.

Zelalem
MS Addis Ababa University • BA US Equivalent
1+ Years Tutoring

Engineering students solve physics problems every day — and Zelalem's two chemical engineering degrees gave him deep fluency with mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics. He unpacks force diagrams, energy conservation, and kinematics by tying each concept back to the underlying math, which makes problem-solving systematic instead of guesswork.

Katherine
BA University
9+ Years Tutoring

Katherine teaches physics alongside calculus, thermodynamics, and physical chemistry, which means she can trace a concept like conservation of energy from the introductory free-body diagram all the way through the calculus that formalizes it — no hand-waving over the hard parts. That cross-subject fluency is especially useful when students hit topics like rotational dynamics or wave mechanics where the math and the physics have to develop in lockstep. Rated 5.0 by students.

Kyle
Current Undergrad Student, Forensic Science University of New Haven
9+ Years Tutoring

Kyle's forensic science program pairs physics with real investigative scenarios — trajectory analysis, force calculations in accident reconstruction, and energy transfer in ballistics. That applied training means he can explain Newtonian mechanics, kinematics, and conservation laws through vivid, concrete examples that stick better than textbook diagrams alone.

Aaron
BA The Ohio State University
1+ Years Tutoring

An engineering degree is essentially a physics degree with applications bolted on, which means Aaron spent years solving problems in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and wave behavior. He teaches physics by anchoring every equation to a physical situation — a car braking, a circuit powering a light, a ball in free fall — so formulas feel like descriptions rather than things to memorize. Students walk away understanding both the math and the intuition behind it.

Cassandra
BA Carnegie Mellon University
7+ Years Tutoring

I am Cassie Bishop, and for seven years, I have been dedicated to helping students of different age groups (from middle school to college) in mostly math and science. As someone driven to become a professor, I love to teach and have a great passion for sharing my knowledge with others! I am most passionate about math and hard sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics and have most experience tutoring middle school, high school, and college students. My mission is to develop students' problem-solving skills so that they can get to the answers on their own to not only improve their homework scores but also help on quizzes and tests through better knowledge of the material. I hope to be able to help you with all of your tutoring needs and to promote student success!

10+ Years Tutoring

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

Nina
MS Columbia University • BA Northwestern University
10+ Years Tutoring

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your first session is focused on understanding where you are right now. A tutor will assess your current physics knowledge, discuss specific challenges you're facing (whether it's force diagrams, energy conservation, or circuit analysis), and learn about your goals. From there, they'll create a personalized plan that targets your weak areas while building on your strengths, so every session moves you forward.

Physics relies heavily on visualizing invisible forces and abstract ideas—from electromagnetic fields to quantum behavior. Tutors use multiple approaches to make these concrete: drawing detailed diagrams, working through real-world examples, using analogies, and breaking down complex concepts into smaller pieces. When you can actually see and understand what's happening, the math becomes much more meaningful.

Absolutely—this is one of the most common physics challenges. Tutoring focuses on teaching you the reasoning behind problems, not just plugging numbers into equations. You'll learn how to identify what type of problem you're facing, which concepts apply, and how to set up solutions systematically. This approach builds genuine understanding so you can tackle unfamiliar problems with confidence.

Yes. Tutors can help you understand the theory behind your experiments, design proper procedures, collect and analyze data correctly, and write lab reports that connect your findings to physics principles. They can also help you troubleshoot when results don't match expectations—a crucial part of the scientific method.

Unit conversions trip up many physics students because they require both mathematical skill and conceptual understanding. Tutors break this down by showing you how to set up conversion factors logically, why dimensional analysis works, and how to check your answers. With guided practice, this skill becomes automatic and you'll catch errors before they derail your problem-solving.

One-on-one instruction lets a tutor focus entirely on your specific gaps and learning style—something that's difficult in a classroom with a 22:1 student-teacher ratio. You get immediate feedback, can ask questions without hesitation, and work at your own pace. Research shows that personalized instruction significantly improves both understanding and performance, especially in challenging subjects like physics where conceptual clarity is essential.

Tutors work with students across all physics levels: mechanics (motion, forces, energy, momentum), waves and sound, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, and modern physics. Whether you're in introductory physics, honors physics, AP Physics, or preparing for college-level courses, Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in the specific topics you need.

Understanding physics is easier when you see how it applies to the real world—from how bridges handle forces to how your phone uses electromagnetic principles. Tutors use relevant examples and applications to make concepts stick and show you why physics matters. This approach deepens understanding and makes studying more engaging than memorizing abstract formulas.
