Award-Winning Physics Tutors
serving Spokane, WA

Mechanics is usually a student's first real encounter with translating physical intuition into mathematical language — setting up free-body diagrams, applying Newton's laws, tracking energy through a system. Cory earned his B.S. in Physics and treats each problem as a conversation, relating forces and motion to everyday experiences so the equations feel like descriptions of something real rather than formulas to memorize. Rated 4.9 by students.

Clare's math background — through calculus and beyond — means the algebra and trigonometry woven into physics problems never become a separate obstacle; she can keep the focus on the physics itself. She's particularly effective at breaking down Newton's second law scenarios and work-energy problems into clean mathematical steps, connecting each line of math back to what's physically happening. Her philosophy training also sharpens the logical reasoning that multi-step problems demand.

An electrical engineering degree is essentially a physics degree with soldering — Daniel spent four years at Stevens Institute of Technology applying Newtonian mechanics, wave behavior, and electromagnetism to real circuits and systems. He brings that applied perspective to physics tutoring, connecting abstract force diagrams and energy conservation problems to things students can actually picture.

I am a professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field. I have spent time in the classroom with elementary aged students and am comfortable with this age group. I am also familiar with AP classes and ACT/SAT preparation. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students and helping them achieve academic goals!

I am a Masters student in Physics at the University of Washington and have over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience. Most recently, I worked as a teacher at the Yellow Wood Academy, a private high school that offers students a specialized one-on-one classroom environment. At YWA, I taught all high school science classes (including AP, Computer Programming, and Environmental Science) and all levels of high school math. In addition to my teaching and tutoring duties, I designed individualized lesson plans, curricula, homework assignments, and tests. Subjects I have successfully tutored Physics: all levels Chemistry: all levels high school, plus P-Chem, O-Chem Biology: all levels high school Math: all levels high school, plus Differential Equations, Statistics, some Group Theory. Standardized test preparation (incl. SAT, ACT, GRE, MCAT) Need help in another area? Just ask! While math and science are the subjects I am most passionate about, I am well-versed in many academic areas, and I may be able to help you.

Dylan's physics major at Vanderbilt means he's not recalling intro-level material from years ago — he's actively working through classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and modern physics right now, which keeps his explanations current and sharp. His instinct is to ground every abstract concept in a physical, graphical picture: showing what a free-body diagram actually represents, or why a velocity-time graph reveals more about acceleration than a formula ever could. That visual-first approach, backed by a 36 ACT and a math minor, makes the subject click for students who've been drowning in equations without understanding what they mean.

Teaching middle school science in Philadelphia meant John had to make forces, motion, and energy intuitive for students encountering those ideas for the first time — a skill that translates directly to breaking down introductory physics at any level. His history background also sharpened a habit of asking "why" before "how," so he digs into the reasoning behind Newton's laws or conservation principles before rushing to plug numbers into equations. Rated 5.0 by students.

Michael holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Michigan and a BS from Rice, and he's spent years teaching everything from basic mechanics to advanced electrodynamics and special relativity. He's particularly effective at connecting abstract principles — like conservation laws or field theory — to real-world phenomena students can actually visualize. Rated 4.7 by students, he brings both deep subject knowledge and genuine teaching experience to every session.

From Newton's laws to wave behavior to electric fields, physics is ultimately about translating real situations into mathematical models. Aimee's engineering training at Georgia Tech means she's spent years doing exactly that — and she teaches students to sketch free-body diagrams and set up equations with the same systematic approach she uses in her own work.

A Caltech economics and computer science graduate, Brian brings serious quantitative depth to physics — from Newtonian mechanics and energy conservation through electromagnetism and wave behavior. He teaches students to set up problems systematically, identifying which principles apply before touching a single equation, which is the skill that separates students who understand physics from those who just memorize formulas.

Studying applied math at Stanford gave Alex a deep comfort with the mathematical backbone of physics — setting up differential equations for oscillating systems, working through vector fields, or translating a word problem into a free-body diagram. He teaches the problem-solving process itself, showing students how to identify which principles apply before touching a single equation.

Engineering physics at Cornell means Daniel doesn't just know the textbook — he's applying Newtonian mechanics, wave dynamics, and thermodynamics in advanced coursework every week. He teaches physics by building intuition for why forces and energy behave the way they do, so students can tackle unfamiliar problems without relying on memorized formulas. Rated 5.0 by students.

Earning a BS in physics from Yale gave Anthony deep comfort with the subject's core challenge: translating a physical scenario into a mathematical model and then interpreting the result. He breaks down force diagrams, energy conservation, and wave behavior by tying each concept back to the underlying math rather than treating equations as formulas to memorize.

Engineering students use physics every day, and Ava's dual degree in mechanical and energy engineering means she didn't just learn kinematics, Newton's laws, and energy conservation — she applied them to real systems. She TAed physics-related engineering courses at WashU and tutored high school physics students for several years, so she's comfortable adjusting her explanations whether someone is solving their first free-body diagram or wrestling with rotational dynamics.

JF's dual training in mathematics and computer science at Stanford means the calculus and vector algebra that bog down most physics students are second nature — freeing up mental bandwidth to actually think about what's happening physically in a problem. He tackles everything from AP Physics 1 mechanics to AP Physics 2 electromagnetism, and he's particularly effective at teaching students to build equations from diagrams rather than hunting for the right formula to plug into. Rated 5.0 by 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.

Bidyut's dual focus in biomedical engineering and computer science at Johns Hopkins means physics isn't something he studied once — it's embedded in his daily coursework, from mechanics to electromagnetism to fluid dynamics. He teaches students to translate word problems into free-body diagrams and equations systematically, rather than guessing which formula to use. That structured approach, combined with his 5.0 client rating, makes him especially effective for students who feel lost in problem-solving.
