Colton
Certified College Physics Tutor
Colton
BA University of Virginia-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

Biomedical engineering at UVA means Colton spent four years where physics meets the human body — modeling forces on prosthetics, analyzing fluid flow through vessels, and applying circuit theory to bioelectrical systems. He also TA'd courses in cell biology and MATLAB, so he's comfortable walking students through both the conceptual reasoning and the computational side of calculus-based physics problems. Rated 4.7 by students.

Jude
Certified College Physics Tutor
Jude
BA Colorado School of Mines
5+ Years Tutoring

Studying engineering physics at Colorado School of Mines means Jude is taking the same calculus-based physics courses his students are — mechanics, E&M, waves, thermo — and solving the same style of problems week after week. That proximity to the material keeps his instincts sharp on exactly where a problem setup falls apart, whether it's misidentifying the system in a free-body diagram or botching a line integral through a non-uniform field. He scored a 36 ACT and holds a 4.9 tutoring rating.

Cody
MS Naropa University • BA Colorado School of Mines
9+ Years Tutoring

Few tutors bring the depth of a dedicated Engineering Physics program to college-level physics. Cody tackles topics like Lagrangian mechanics, Maxwell's equations, and quantum fundamentals with the rigor of someone who studied them as core coursework at Colorado School of Mines. He also uses Mathematica to visualize complex systems, which is especially useful for students in calculus-based physics sequences.

Michelle
BA Trinity University
1+ Years Tutoring

Studying physical therapy at UCD means Michelle regularly applies physics to the human body — analyzing force vectors in joint movement, understanding torque during gait, and calculating work done by muscle groups — which gives her a practical anchor for the mechanics topics that dominate introductory college physics. Her biology degree from Trinity and a 4.8 tutoring rating back up her emphasis on conceptual problem-solving: mapping out the physics of a scenario before plugging anything into an equation.

Graham
BA University
6+ Years Tutoring

Studying astrophysics and chemistry at CU Boulder means Graham lives inside the calculus-based physics that makes college courses demanding — orbital mechanics, electromagnetic radiation, thermodynamic processes in stellar atmospheres — and carries a 4.0 GPA through it. He breaks problems down by identifying the governing principle first, whether that's a conservation law or a field equation, then walks through the math step by step so the physics stays visible. Rated 5.0 by students.

Evan
BA Colorado State University-Fort Collins
9+ Years Tutoring

Evan's physics degree means he didn't just pass college physics — he kept going, tackling thermodynamics, special relativity, and upper-division mechanics well beyond the introductory sequence. That depth lets him trace a tricky concept like rotational inertia or wave superposition back to the underlying principle instead of just drilling the formula. Rated 5.0 by students.

Nicholas
BA Johns Hopkins University
5+ Years Tutoring

College-level physics demands more mathematical rigor than high school — suddenly, problems involve calculus-based derivations and vector analysis alongside conceptual reasoning. As a Johns Hopkins biomedical engineering and applied math student, Nicholas lives in that intersection of advanced math and physical modeling every semester. He walks through topics like rotational dynamics, electric fields, and wave optics with the precision college courses require.

Eric
BA Duke University
8+ Years Tutoring

Biomedical engineering at Duke means Eric solves physics problems daily — modeling forces on prosthetic joints, analyzing fluid flow through artificial vessels, calculating electrical signals in biosensors — so the mechanics and electromagnetism in a college physics course map directly onto work he's already doing. He breaks multi-step problems into their physical components first, making sure the reasoning is solid before any math hits the page. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Greg
Building Engineer, Chemical Engineering and Math Vanderbilt University
1+ Years Tutoring

Chemical engineering at Vanderbilt means Greg solves physics problems daily — fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and force balances are baked into every core course, so his explanations come from repeated, hands-on application rather than textbook summaries. His math double major gives him the calculus fluency to walk through derivations cleanly, especially when problems involve integration over continuous systems or solving second-order differential equations of motion. Rated 5.0 by students.

Waleed
MS Virginia Commonwealth University • BA Virginia Commonwealth University
1+ Years Tutoring

Biomedical engineering at VCU meant Waleed spent years applying physics to biological systems — modeling forces on prosthetic joints, analyzing fluid flow through vessels, understanding the electromagnetic principles behind imaging equipment like MRI and ultrasound. That gives him a concrete hook for the mechanics, thermodynamics, and E&M topics that fill college physics problem sets, since he can ground abstract equations in systems students can actually picture. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Phillip
BA Brown University
6+ Years Tutoring

Biomedical engineering at Brown means Phillip solves physics problems with real biological stakes — modeling fluid flow through vessels, analyzing stress on implant materials, calculating electrical signals in tissue. That daily overlap with mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism gives him a practical fluency that makes college physics problem sets feel less abstract and more like puzzles with actual answers. Rated 5.0 by students.

Vania
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
1+ Years Tutoring

Building things that actually work — which is what mechanical engineering is — means Vania spent her degree applying Newton's laws to real structures, calculating heat transfer through materials, and analyzing fluid flow, not as textbook exercises but as design requirements. That hands-on engineering intuition shows up when she breaks down free-body diagrams or walks through energy conservation problems, because she's solved versions of them that had to hold up in the physical world. Her 1590 SAT underscores the quantitative precision she brings to calculus-based problem solving.

Studying civil engineering at Cornell means Ryan solves physics problems for a living — calculating load distributions, analyzing force vectors in structural systems, and applying fluid mechanics principles that come straight out of college physics coursework. He scored a 35 ACT, which speaks to the quantitative precision he brings when breaking down mechanics or electromagnetism problems step by step. Rated 4.7 by students.

Steve
MS Washington University in St. Louis • BA Saint Louis University-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

Statics, dynamics, circuits, electromagnetics — Steve didn't just take these courses, he took them twice over, earning degrees in both mechanical and electrical engineering before working as a practicing engineer. That dual perspective is especially useful in college physics, where a problem about induced EMF or stress in a beam benefits from someone who's designed real systems around those principles.

Michael
BA Rice University • Doctor of Philosophy, Physics University of Michigan
7+ Years Tutoring

Four years teaching undergraduate physics labs at the University of Michigan — especially courses designed for non-STEM majors — taught Michael how to strip intimidating topics like electromagnetism, circuits, and wave optics down to their physical intuition before layering the math back on. His PhD research deepened that fluency across the full spectrum of college physics, from introductory mechanics through advanced electrodynamics and special relativity. Rated 4.7 by students.
