Arlin
Certified Physics Tutor
Arlin
BA The University of Texas at Dallas
5+ Years Tutoring

Kinematics problems look impossible until someone shows you that every equation is just describing a story about motion. Arlin approaches physics by translating word problems into diagrams and free-body sketches first, then connecting those visuals to the math — an approach rooted in how his neuroscience training taught him to map complex systems step by step.

Maggie
Certified Physics Tutor
Maggie
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

Kinematics equations and free-body diagrams are straightforward once a student learns to read a physics problem like a story — identifying what's moving, what forces act on it, and what the question is really asking. Maggie teaches that translation process explicitly, drawing on her science background to walk through mechanics, energy conservation, and wave behavior with clarity. She holds a 5.0 student rating.

Bidyut
BA Johns Hopkins University
8+ Years Tutoring

Bidyut's dual focus in biomedical engineering and computer science at Johns Hopkins means physics isn't something he studied once — it's embedded in his daily coursework, from mechanics to electromagnetism to fluid dynamics. He teaches students to translate word problems into free-body diagrams and equations systematically, rather than guessing which formula to use. That structured approach, combined with his 5.0 client rating, makes him especially effective for students who feel lost in problem-solving.

Majoring in both Physics and Biochemistry at Rice, Aadith tackles the subject from two directions — the pure mechanics and electromagnetism side alongside the biophysical applications where those principles govern everything from membrane potentials to protein folding dynamics. That dual lens is especially useful for students who need more than abstract derivations to make Newton's laws or conservation of energy feel real. His 1590 SAT underscores the quantitative precision he brings to problem setup and calculation.

1+ Years Tutoring

Kinematics equations are easy to memorize but surprisingly hard to apply when a problem introduces friction on an incline or two objects moving in different directions. Kinjal approaches physics by teaching students to draw the scenario first — free-body diagrams, energy bar charts, momentum vectors — before touching any formula. Her science background at Texas A&M included multiple physics courses, and her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that visual, concept-first method translates for students.

I am a graduate of Georgetown University where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in International Politics with a concentration on Foreign Policy. I also earned a Certificate in Latin American Studies and am a member of Pi Sigma Alpha, The National Political Science Honor Society. I have experience tutoring students in both the SAT and the SSAT. Additionally, my time as an 8th Grade Science teacher here in Dallas has prepared me for the curriculum and challenges facing students in the area. While I offer tutoring in a broad range of subjects from foreign languages to grammar and writing to math and science, I find Physics to be the most enjoyable subject to teach. I see Physics as the science that allows all the other sciences to occur, and I find it helpful to use Physics demonstrations when studying the subject. When it comes to tutoring, I believe that whoever is doing the talking is doing the learning, so my students will be doing the leg work when it comes to their learning. I believe that every student can achieve success in school; each student just learns at their own pace and in their own way. When I have free time, I enjoy reading a good book, playing a game of tennis, or participating in or watching theatrical events.
