Designing houses for a living means Aaron solves real physics problems constantly — calculating load paths through structures, resolving force vectors at joints, and applying statics principles that most students only see as textbook exercises. That architectural engineering background gives him a concrete vocabulary for teaching mechanics, forces, and energy concepts, because he can point to an actual beam or truss and explain why the math matters. Rated 5.0 by students.

Charles earned his biochemistry degree at Arizona State, where physics courses in mechanics, thermodynamics, and wave behavior were central to his training. He breaks down force diagrams and energy conservation problems by connecting them to everyday scenarios — a ball rolling downhill, a car braking — so the math feels grounded in something real.
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 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 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 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 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!
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
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'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 an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Physics students often struggle with visualizing abstract concepts like forces, motion, and electromagnetic fields—things you can't directly see. Many also find it challenging to connect theoretical equations to real-world applications, and balancing equations or managing unit conversions can feel overwhelming. A tutor helps by breaking down these invisible concepts into concrete, observable examples and building your intuition for why physics works the way it does.
Physics requires more than memorizing formulas—it demands deep understanding of underlying principles and the ability to apply them to new situations. Expert tutors focus on building your conceptual foundation first, then guide you through problem-solving strategies so you can tackle unfamiliar questions with confidence. This approach develops your scientific reasoning skills, not just your ability to solve textbook problems.
Your first session is an assessment and planning meeting. A tutor will discuss your current physics course, identify specific topics causing difficulty (whether it's kinematics, energy, circuits, or something else), and understand your learning style and goals. From there, you'll work together to create a personalized plan that addresses your gaps and builds confidence in the areas where you need it most.
Absolutely. Tutors can help you understand the scientific method behind experiments, predict outcomes, analyze data, and write clear lab reports that demonstrate your understanding. Many students benefit from pre-lab tutoring to grasp the concepts before stepping into the lab, and post-lab support to interpret results and connect them back to theory.
Whether you're preparing for a semester exam, AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, or AP Physics C, tutors can help you master both the content and test-taking strategies. They'll focus on high-yield topics, teach you how to approach multiple-choice and free-response questions, and provide practice with timed problem sets to build speed and accuracy under pressure.
Look for tutors with strong backgrounds in physics—whether that's a degree in physics, engineering, or a related field, plus proven teaching experience. The best tutors can explain complex concepts clearly, adapt to your learning style, and show genuine enthusiasm for helping you understand physics deeply rather than just getting the right answer.
Unit conversions require careful attention and a solid grasp of how different units relate to each other—it's easy to make careless errors that throw off your entire answer. Tutors teach you systematic approaches like dimensional analysis, help you develop checking habits, and build your confidence so unit conversions become routine rather than a source of anxiety.
