Award-Winning Physics Tutors
serving Madison, WI

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 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.

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.

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.

Most physics struggles come down to one thing: not knowing how to start a problem. Phillip teaches a systematic approach — draw the diagram, identify the forces, pick the right coordinate system — that turns intimidating multi-step problems into a sequence of smaller, solvable ones. He's taken physics through the college level as part of his biomedical engineering degree at Brown and knows exactly where conceptual gaps tend to hide.

A Stanford computer science and political science student, Margaret went through the Project Lead the Way STEM magnet program, where physics wasn't just a class but a daily toolkit for engineering challenges. She teaches kinematics, force diagrams, and energy conservation by tying each concept to tangible scenarios that make the math feel purposeful.

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.

Kinematics and force diagrams are where most physics students either build real intuition or start falling behind. Lauren tackles these foundational topics by connecting them to the quantitative problem-solving she does across her neuroscience and chemistry coursework at Duke, making the math feel purposeful rather than arbitrary.

Brown's immunobiology track is quietly physics-heavy — Jessica has worked through the thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and wave behavior that underpin everything from membrane transport to imaging techniques like X-ray diffraction. Her genetics TA role sharpened her ability to break complex multi-step problems into smaller logical pieces, a skill that translates directly to setting up force diagrams and energy conservation equations in introductory physics.

Cornell's chemical engineering program put Rahul through four years of mechanics, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics problems that demand real physical intuition — not just plugging into formulas. He pushes students to understand why a conservation law applies before setting up the math, building the kind of conceptual reasoning that makes multi-step problems feel manageable rather than chaotic. Rated 4.9 by students.

Engineering students see physics differently than most tutors do — every force diagram, energy conservation problem, and wave equation is a tool they actually use. Ellie's biomedical engineering program at Yale means she tackles mechanics, electricity, and thermodynamics regularly in applied contexts. She unpacks the math behind each physics concept so students understand the equations instead of just memorizing them.

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.

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 fluency from studying economics at UChicago means the quantitative side never becomes a bottleneck.

Molecular biophysics at Brown means Srini is constantly translating between physics and biology — applying mechanics, thermodynamics, and electrostatics to understand how proteins fold, membranes flex, and molecules interact. That dual fluency makes him especially effective at unpacking force and energy problems, because he can ground abstract equations in physical scenarios that actually mean something. His 1600 SAT and 35 ACT speak to the quantitative precision he brings to every problem.

Ian approaches physics problems by teaching students to draw the situation before writing a single equation — free-body diagrams for mechanics, circuit sketches for electricity, ray diagrams for optics. That habit of visualizing forces and interactions before jumping to math is what separates students who understand physics from those who just hunt for formulas. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that method lands.

Breaking physics problems into free-body diagrams and energy conservation equations is second nature to Andrew, who built quantitative reasoning skills across both a molecular biology degree and doctoral-level study. He tackles everything from kinematics to electromagnetism by teaching students to identify which principle applies before touching a single formula.
