Engineering is applied physics, so Kate spent years solving the exact kinds of problems — free-body diagrams, energy conservation, circuit analysis — that show up in introductory physics courses. She walks through each problem by identifying what physical principle applies and why, which builds the kind of intuition that makes new problems feel approachable instead of intimidating.

Holding degrees in both mechanical and electrical engineering, Steve has solved the full spectrum of physics problems professionally — from statics and dynamics in mechanical systems to electromagnetism in circuit design. That dual perspective is especially useful when students hit the transition from mechanics to E&M, since he can show how the same problem-solving structure carries across both halves of a physics course. Rated 4.9 by students.

Free-body diagrams, conservation laws, and circuit analysis all demand a specific way of thinking: translating a physical scenario into math and then interpreting what the math tells you. Zachary's biophysics training required exactly this skill set across mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics, and he breaks complex problems into clear, repeatable steps that build real problem-solving confidence.

Kinematics equations and free-body diagrams intimidate a lot of students, but the underlying logic is surprisingly systematic once someone shows you how to set up each problem. Annabel's science background means she can unpack both the math and the physical intuition behind Newton's laws, energy conservation, and wave behavior without skipping the steps that textbooks gloss over.

Biomedical engineering at Yale means Jonathan lives in physics — from fluid dynamics in blood vessels to the electromagnetic principles behind MRI machines. He breaks down force diagrams, energy conservation, and wave behavior by connecting them to real systems students can visualize. Rated 5.0 by students.

A Bachelor of Science in Physics from Haverford plus graduate-level engineering at Penn gives Larkin an unusually complete picture of the subject, from Newtonian mechanics through electromagnetism and modern physics. He unpacks derivations step by step so students see the physical reasoning behind every equation, not just the math.

Holding a bachelor's in physics, Erik teaches the subject the way it's actually practiced — start with a physical scenario, identify the relevant principles, then translate into math. Whether the topic is electromagnetism, classical mechanics, or wave optics, he emphasizes setting up problems correctly because that's where most points (and most learning) happen.

Pursuing a doctorate in music while teaching physics and calculus might seem like an unusual combination, but Jackson's 1460 SAT and deep comfort with quantitative reasoning mean he tackles force diagrams, energy conservation, and kinematics with genuine fluency. He's especially sharp at decoding how physics problems are constructed — teaching students to recognize what a question is really testing before they start solving, which cuts through the panic that multi-step problems often trigger.

Ade's biology degree means he's already worked through the mechanics, thermodynamics, and wave optics that overlap heavily with introductory physics — particularly in contexts like biomechanics and fluid pressure where the physical intuition has to be precise. He also teaches physical chemistry and differential equations, so when a physics problem demands setting up and solving the underlying math, he can walk through both the conceptual setup and the calculation without skipping steps.

Biomedical engineering throws Spencer into physics problems daily — from analyzing forces on prosthetic joints to modeling electrical signals in neural circuits — so the mechanics and electromagnetism in introductory courses feel like familiar territory rather than abstract theory. His 35 ACT reflects the kind of sharp quantitative instincts that make setting up free-body diagrams and applying conservation laws feel systematic. He also teaches AP Physics 1 through C: E&M, so he can scale from conceptual reasoning to full calculus-based problem solving.

Kinematics equations are easy to memorize but surprisingly hard to apply when a problem involves two objects, an angle, or a non-obvious reference frame. Abhinav's biology degree at Stanford included rigorous physics coursework, and he walks students through free-body diagrams and vector decomposition until setting up the problem becomes second nature.

Studying cellular and molecular biology at Princeton while taking advanced physics and mechanical engineering courses gave Noelle an unusual vantage point — she sees physics as the backbone of every other science. She digs into force diagrams, energy conservation, and wave behavior by emphasizing the reasoning behind each equation rather than treating formulas as things to memorize.
