Benjamin's physics teaching goes beyond plugging values into kinematic equations. He digs into free-body diagrams, energy conservation, and vector decomposition by asking students to predict outcomes before calculating — a habit that builds the physical intuition textbooks often skip. His math fluen...

Teaching middle school math in Chicago Public Schools means Elizabeth tackles the foundational algebra and proportional reasoning that physics problems demand — and with a 34 ACT, her quantitative skills extend well beyond the middle school level. She breaks down force and motion problems by anchori...

A PhD in Physics means Jonathan has spent years not just studying but actively doing physics — designing experiments, deriving equations from first principles, and connecting abstract theory to measurable phenomena. He unpacks topics like Newton's laws, energy conservation, and electromagnetism by b...

Engineering is applied physics, and Sparsh spent four years at Vanderbilt living inside force diagrams, energy conservation problems, and wave mechanics as part of his biomedical engineering coursework. He teaches physics by tying every equation to a physical situation students can picture — a ball ...

I am a recent graduate of Princeton University's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department. I am passionate about teaching and mentoring and have done so in multiple capacities over the last four years, including a fellowship during which I taught pre-algebraic math to a group of middle school...

I am a student at the University of Chicago majoring in mathematics & comparative human development. I sing in an acapella group, play violin, and on weekends I love to go for bike rides or long runs, see local theater and music performances, and explore the city of Chicago. Through my studies and b...

Amber's biology concentration in genetics and genomics required serious fluency in the physics underlying molecular techniques — from the optics of fluorescence microscopy to the electrostatics driving gel electrophoresis — so she approaches physics as a set of principles with tangible applications ...

I am a graduate of Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with Distinction in 2015. Since graduation, I was a physics/chemistry teacher and soccer coach at a private school in Virginia for a year, where I led the soccer team to an undefeated se...

Evan's statistics graduate work gives him a quantitative fluency that translates directly to physics — particularly in mechanics and electromagnetism, where setting up the right equation from a word problem is half the battle. He breaks down force diagrams and energy conservation problems into clear...

Pre-dental coursework at UIC puts Kheya through the same mechanics, energy, and wave problems that define introductory physics — and her 34 ACT confirms she handles the quantitative reasoning these topics demand. She slows problems down deliberately, diagramming each scenario and working through pra...

Bioengineering grad school is essentially applied physics — fluid dynamics, biomechanics, thermodynamics — so Mark teaches physics concepts from the perspective of someone who solves real problems with them. He's particularly effective at connecting free-body diagrams and energy conservation to the ...

Three associates of science degrees mean Felix has taken the full introductory physics sequence — mechanics, electricity, and waves — multiple times across different programs, giving him an unusual familiarity with where students consistently get stuck on free-body diagrams and energy conservation s...

Gabriel's philosophy training actually translates well to physics problem-solving — breaking a complex argument into premises and conclusions isn't far from decomposing a multi-step mechanics problem into free-body diagrams and conservation laws. He teaches both calculus and physics, so when a stude...

Kinematics and free-body diagrams trip students up not because the math is impossibly hard, but because translating a physical scenario into equations requires a specific kind of thinking. Sofia tackles that translation step explicitly — teaching students to sketch the situation, identify forces, an...

Engineering is applied physics, and Lee spent two degrees applying it — from Newtonian mechanics and circuit analysis to thermodynamics and wave behavior. He breaks down complex problems by teaching students to draw free-body diagrams and identify which principles actually govern a given scenario be...
