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.

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.
