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 ...

Between a mechanical engineering bachelor's and a PhD program at Rice, Jeffrey has spent years solving statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics problems that most students only encounter in their first physics course. He taught calculus-based physics at Notre Dame and assisted in Differential Equations...

Applied math at Caltech means Samuel's daily coursework is the calculus and differential equations that power every physics problem — from projectile motion to oscillating springs to electric fields. He teaches students to build the mathematical setup first, identifying which principles apply and wh...

Engineering is applied physics, which means Charles doesn't just remember the formulas for kinematics, energy conservation, or rotational dynamics — he uses them to solve design problems at Yale every week. That practical fluency lets him explain not just how to set up a free-body diagram but why ea...

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 thermodyna...

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 th...

Three associates of science degrees mean Felix has taken the full introductory physics sequence — mechanics, electricity, and waves — multiple times across different programs, giving him an unusual familiarity with where students consistently get stuck on free-body diagrams and energy conservation s...

Three years of tutoring introductory physics at Washington University gave Justin a sharp sense of where students get stuck — usually at the gap between understanding a concept verbally and translating it into a free-body diagram or equation. His dual bachelor's degrees in physics and math, plus doc...

Benjamin's finance and economics training at Notre Dame runs on the same quantitative backbone that physics demands — modeling systems, isolating variables, and reasoning through multi-step problems where one misstep cascades. He brings a toolkit of computation shortcuts and pattern-recognition tric...

A PhD in biomedical engineering built on a bachelor's in physics means Andrew has spent years solving problems across mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics. He teaches physics by emphasizing free-body diagrams, unit analysis, and the habit of translating word problems into mathematical mod...
