Lyndsey approaches physics as a problem-solving language rather than a formula sheet. Her science background gives her a knack for teaching students to diagram a scenario — free-body diagrams, energy bar charts, momentum vectors — before touching an equation, which is where most physics mistakes actually happen.

Tackling physics as a pharmacy student meant Lillian had to internalize mechanics and electricity concepts quickly and apply them in adjacent sciences — an experience she now brings to teaching kinematics, Newton's laws, energy conservation, and circuit analysis. She emphasizes setting up problems with clear free-body diagrams and unit tracking before ever reaching for a formula.
Robert teaches physics alongside calculus, chemistry, and biology, which means he's constantly making the cross-subject connections that physics demands — seeing how energy conservation links to chemical thermodynamics, or how kinematics equations are just calculus in disguise. His current coursework in calculus and biochemistry keeps these connections fresh, and his classical studies background gives him a knack for breaking dense, jargon-heavy problems into clear logical steps.
A genuine enthusiasm for physics drives how Craig teaches the subject — he digs into the conceptual reasoning behind force diagrams, energy conservation, and wave behavior before ever touching an equation. His philosophy background gives him a knack for breaking down abstract principles into clear, logical arguments that make problem-solving feel less like guesswork.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
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.
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.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Physics students often struggle with translating abstract concepts—like forces, energy, and motion—into real-world applications. Many find it difficult to visualize how theoretical principles work in practice, especially when lab work isn't hands-on. Additionally, balancing equations, unit conversions, and applying the scientific method consistently are frequent pain points. Personalized tutoring helps students build conceptual understanding rather than relying on memorization, which is key to mastering physics.
Your first session focuses on understanding where you stand. A tutor will review your current coursework, identify specific concepts that feel unclear, and discuss your learning goals—whether that's improving test scores, completing lab reports, or building confidence with problem-solving. This foundation helps create a personalized plan that addresses your unique needs and learning style, making every session count.
Tutors help you understand the 'why' behind experimental procedures and how to apply the scientific method effectively. They can walk you through data analysis, help you interpret results, and connect lab findings back to theoretical concepts you're learning in class. This bridges the gap between hands-on work and conceptual understanding, making lab reports and practical exams less intimidating.
Physics problem-solving improves through guided practice and understanding the underlying concepts. Tutors teach you how to break down complex problems into manageable steps, identify which principles apply, and avoid common mistakes with unit conversions and equation setup. Regular practice with feedback helps you develop problem-solving strategies you can apply to new situations, rather than just memorizing formulas.

They understand local curriculum expectations and can align tutoring with what your school emphasizes, helping you succeed on district assessments and standardized tests.
Many physics concepts—like electromagnetic fields, quantum mechanics, or molecular motion—are hard to picture. Tutors use diagrams, real-world analogies, and interactive explanations to make abstract ideas tangible. They can also help you develop mental models and spatial reasoning skills that make complex topics feel less mysterious and more intuitive.
Absolutely. Tutors create targeted review plans based on your exam format and the concepts you find most challenging. They use practice testing and spaced repetition—proven strategies for retention—and help you develop test-taking strategies specific to physics, like managing multi-step problems and avoiding careless errors. This approach builds both content knowledge and exam confidence.
