Understanding physics means seeing the same core principles — Newton's laws, conservation of energy, wave behavior — show up in wildly different problems. Amber teaches students to identify which principle applies and how to set up the math, drawing on her strong background in both science and mathematics. Her 5.0 client rating speaks to an approach that makes even tricky free-body diagrams and projectile motion problems feel manageable.

Kinematics, force diagrams, and energy conservation problems all require translating a physical scenario into math — a skill Karann sharpened through her biological engineering degree and her current work modeling ecological systems. She walks students through each physics problem by first building a clear picture of what's happening physically before touching a single equation.

Two physics degrees and a master's in atmospheric and space sciences mean Richard doesn't just know the textbook — he's applied Newtonian mechanics, electromagnetism, and fluid dynamics to research-level problems. He unpacks each concept by building it from first principles, so students develop physical intuition alongside the math.

Aaron's applied math background means he tackles physics problems by unpacking the math behind them — showing why a differential equation describes a spring, or how vector components actually simplify a force diagram. He teaches students to set up problems from first principles rather than hunting for the right formula to plug into. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach translates to real understanding.

Breanna's background is in education and counseling rather than engineering or lab science, but she's taught physics alongside math subjects from pre-algebra through calculus — so she knows exactly where the mathematical scaffolding breaks down for students tackling Newton's laws or energy conservation problems. She's especially effective with students who understand the concepts qualitatively but freeze when it's time to set up equations, bridging that gap between intuition and calculation.

I am interested in making physics and math relatable to people who are not naturally adept at it. I have taken the SAT, the general GRE and the physics GRE subject tests.

I am an international student from China graduating from University of Wisconsin Madison majoring in Math. I also studied in Bonn University in Germany for one semester. While I was in UW Madison, I tutored college students enrolled in up to 13 math courses and entry level German courses both in large groups and individually. I am enthusiastic in teaching what I know and helping others develop problem solving skills by well explaining both concepts and specific related problems. I believe that everyone is unique. It is my pleasure to assist everyone to develop their own way to study based on their strength and weakness.

Medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin demands a command of mechanics, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics that goes well beyond intro-level physics — Abrahim applies those principles daily in contexts like blood pressure dynamics and respiratory mechanics. His biology degree from UCLA (cum laude) and a 34 ACT underscore the quantitative chops he brings to breaking down force diagrams, energy conservation setups, and multi-step kinematics problems. Rated 5.0 by students.

Thomas's math and statistics training at Carleton means the calculus and vector algebra that derail most physics students are second nature to him — so sessions stay focused on the physics itself, not on untangling the math underneath. He's especially sharp at teaching students to translate a messy word problem into a clean free-body diagram or energy equation, then carry the quantitative work through without losing track of what the numbers mean. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Justin supplements science courses alongside his primary math teaching, which gives him a practical angle on physics: he connects equations to the algebra skills students already have. He's particularly effective at translating word-heavy physics problems into mathematical setups, a crossover skill he practices daily in his classroom.

Joseph's background is in education and history, not physics — but his Special Education master's means he's trained to diagnose exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and rebuild it step by step, which matters enormously when a student is lost somewhere between Newton's second law and the free-body diagram they're supposed to draw. He approaches physics problems as reading comprehension exercises first, teaching students to decode what a problem is actually asking before any math happens. Rated 4.8 by students.

Studying mechanical engineering means Brendan lives inside physics — free-body diagrams, torque calculations, energy conservation, and fluid dynamics are part of his weekly problem sets. He approaches each topic by sketching the physical setup first, then translating it into math, which is the same process that earns full marks on AP and college-level exams. Rated 5.0 by students.

Studying neuroscience at the cellular and molecular level means Rameen lives in the overlap between physics and biology — membrane potentials, diffusion, and electrical signaling all rely on core physics principles. She breaks down kinematics, forces, and energy conservation by tying abstract formulas to tangible, real-world scenarios students can visualize.

Steven teaches physics alongside calculus, algebra, and trigonometry, which means he can spot when a student's real obstacle in a force or energy problem isn't the physics — it's the vector components or the trig. That crossover awareness lets him patch the math gap on the spot instead of letting it silently derail every problem set. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Cornell University. I intend to major in physics and either minor or double major in computer science.

I am a player on a student's team with the goal of academic success and increased intellectual understanding. This outcome is impossible without getting down to the student's level, utilizing age appropriate vocabulary, providing constructive criticism, and establishing their baseline.

I tutor college physics and teach physics at a technical college. To me, tutoring is a relationship, forged with each student individually to meet you where you are and help you along your own best path toward mastery. In my free time, I love reading and writing science fiction and fantasy.

As a passionate educator with a Master's in Educational Psychology from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, I have over 8 years of tutoring and classroom experience, currently teaching a range of subjects including AP Biology and Physics. My approach centers on fostering a supportive learning environment that encourages curiosity and critical thinking, helping students connect complex concepts to real-world applications. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I am dedicated to tailoring my methods to meet individual learning styles. Outside the classroom, I enjoy exploring the latest scientific research and engaging in outdoor activities, which I find enriches my teaching and connects me with my students.

Michael holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Michigan and a BS from Rice, and he's spent years teaching everything from basic mechanics to advanced electrodynamics and special relativity. He's particularly effective at connecting abstract principles — like conservation laws or field theory — to real-world phenomena students can actually visualize. Rated 4.7 by students, he brings both deep subject knowledge and genuine teaching experience to every session.

Kathleen's math background at Washington University gives her a natural advantage when teaching physics — she treats kinematics equations, force diagrams, and energy conservation as applied math problems rather than disconnected formulas. She digs into the specific step where a student gets stuck, whether that's setting up a free-body diagram or knowing when to apply Newton's second law versus conservation of momentum.

Bryan holds a B.S. in Physics and teaches the subject the way it's actually practiced — starting from a real situation, identifying the relevant principles, and building a solution step by step. Whether the problem involves conservation of momentum or circuit analysis, he emphasizes drawing clear free-body diagrams and checking units before touching a calculator.

Teaching middle school science in Philadelphia meant John had to make forces, motion, and energy intuitive for students encountering those ideas for the first time — a skill that translates directly to breaking down introductory physics at any level. His history background also sharpened a habit of asking "why" before "how," so he digs into the reasoning behind Newton's laws or conservation principles before rushing to plug numbers into equations. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

Chemistry and physics overlap more than most students realize — thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and molecular motion all live in both disciplines. Alex's bio-organic chemistry degree means he learned physics through the lens of how molecules actually behave, which gives him a concrete way to explain energy, forces, and waves that clicks for students who find pure equation-crunching abstract.

Derek earned a 790 on the SAT Physics Subject Test and scored 5s on both AP Physics 1 and AP Physics C: Mechanics, covering everything from kinematics and energy conservation to rotational dynamics. He teaches physics by anchoring each problem in a free-body diagram or energy diagram first, so students learn to set up solutions systematically before touching equations.

Studying applied math at Stanford gave Alex a deep comfort with the mathematical backbone of physics — setting up differential equations for oscillating systems, working through vector fields, or translating a word problem into a free-body diagram. He teaches the problem-solving process itself, showing students how to identify which principles apply before touching a single equation.

Charts, drawings, and physical models are Samantha's go-to tools for making forces, vectors, and energy concepts tangible — she's a visual teacher who turns abstract physics scenarios into something students can sketch and reason through before touching an equation. Her chemistry degree from Cornell means she's fluent in the quantitative and conceptual reasoning that underpins mechanics and thermodynamics, and she's been tutoring high school physics and math since her own high school years. Rated 5.0 by students.

Studying mechanical engineering at Harvard means Christopher doesn't just remember physics — he's actively building on it every semester, from Newtonian mechanics and thermodynamics to electromagnetism and wave behavior. He breaks down complex problems by teaching students to draw clean free-body diagrams, identify which conservation law applies, and translate word problems into solvable equations. That systematic approach turns intimidating multi-step problems into manageable sequences.

A mechanical engineering degree from WashU means Caroline didn't just study physics — she applied it daily, from fluid dynamics to stress analysis. She teaches students to set up free-body diagrams and energy conservation problems by connecting the math to physical intuition, making kinematics and Newton's laws click rather than feel like formula hunts.

Jackie took AP Physics C — the calculus-based version — and scored a 5 on the exam, which means she's comfortable with everything from Newtonian mechanics to electromagnetic induction. She unpacks free-body diagrams and energy conservation problems by tying the math to real physical situations students can visualize. That combination of calculus fluency and physical intuition makes her especially effective for students preparing for AP or college-level physics.
