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.

Applied mathematics and physics share the same language, and Kenneth speaks it fluently. He walks students through everything from free-body diagrams in mechanics to circuit analysis in electromagnetism, emphasizing how to extract the right equation from a problem statement and verify that the units and limiting cases make sense.

As a Classics and biology double major at Yale, Maddie brings a Socratic instinct to physics — she asks targeted questions at each step of a kinematics or force problem until students realize they can reason through the solution themselves. She also teaches calculus and SAT prep, so when the math in a multi-step energy or momentum problem gets tangled, she can untangle both the physics and the algebra on the spot.

Economics at Yale might not scream physics, but Max's 1580 SAT score signals the kind of quantitative reasoning that makes kinematics and energy problems click — and he teaches both physics and calculus, so the math never becomes the bottleneck. He zeroes in on helping students see which principles govern a scenario before any numbers get plugged in, turning chaotic multi-step problems into structured solutions. Rated 5.0 by students.

Free-body diagrams, Newton's laws, energy conservation, projectile motion — physics is a subject where one misdrawn vector can derail an entire solution. Yossi's mechanical engineering training at Yale means he's solved thousands of these problems under pressure, and he teaches students to set up each problem systematically before touching a single equation.

Trained in both physics and mathematics at the undergraduate and graduate level, James brings rare fluency to the interplay between physical intuition and mathematical rigor. He digs into mechanics, electromagnetism, and wave phenomena by first building the conceptual picture, then showing how the equations encode that picture precisely. Students walk away understanding not just how to solve a problem but why the solution makes physical sense.

Mathematical Physics at UConn means Alice doesn't treat mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics as separate chapters — she sees the mathematical threads running through all of them, which makes her especially effective at showing students why the same differential equation keeps reappearing in seemingly unrelated topics. Her 34 ACT and 5.0 rating back up what her instructional assistant work in college demonstrated: she can break a complex force or energy scenario down to its core principle and rebuild it step by step until the solution feels inevitable.

Sabine approaches physics the way a scientist actually uses it: start with the physical situation, sketch a diagram, identify the forces or energy transfers, and only then reach for equations. Her chemistry background gives her an unusual strength in topics where physics and chemistry overlap, like electrostatics, wave behavior, and gas laws. Students consistently rate her 5.0.

I am a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I received my Bachelor of Arts in Asian American Studies with a pre-med track. I am currently a grad student at the Yale School of Public Health.

I am a freshman at Yale University, hailing originally from Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way.

I am a current undergraduate student at Cornell University studying Electrical and Computer Engineering. I have a strong science and math background having taken many courses in Physics, Computer Programming, and various mathematics subjects ranging from Geometry, to Multivariable Calculus, to Differential Equations. I am also very passionate about English, Literature, Russian Studies, Spanish Language, and History. I believe that the key to success is having a well rounded education, so when I am not programming microcontrollers, one can either find me watching Russian news channels to polish up my vocabulary, reading textbooks on the history of the Middle East, or simply immersing myself in a Jane Austen novel. In my free time I also enjoy training for CrossFit, playing the viola, and traveling.

Hello, my name is Yosef and I would be happy to serve as a math tutor. I place strong emphasis on a good balance between knowledge of mathematical content and proficiency in problem-solving, reasoning, and conveying mathematical ideas in writing. There are times when a student needs to be informed of a solution, times when he or she also needs to hear the explanation of why the solution works, and times when he or she should be guided to finding the solution on his or her own. It is important for the tutor to recognize which approach is appropriate. Frequently, when students struggle, it is because they do not understand the notation or terminology in use. In such cases, it is important to reassure the student, reminding him or her that he or she is only struggling with understanding a single word, not the entire mathematical concept. As a rule, people perform better and are better motivated when they have self-confidence, not when the task ahead seems frighteningly daunting. It is also important to recognize that different students learn best through different means. As an example, some students are visual learners and can understand the material best through pictures and gestures. Other students learn best through hearing the procedures vocalized, while still others learn best through writing out the steps of the solution procedure. I know to adapt my teaching style to the individual student. with these considerations in mind, I promise to provide the best assistance that I can, taking your individual needs into consideration.

I am only as good as the knowledge I can pass on. We work best only when we are being challenged by the very same people we are trying to teach. In doing so, as tutors , we are constantly reminded on the need to stay current, to continuously strive to add more to our arsenal of information and to simultaneously be prepared to reinvent oneself in a very short period of time. It is my belief that that is what it takes to be a competent tutor. It is also my belief that I come through on the very same standards I set others and that I am prepared to work hard, not for myself but for you.

I believe every person has potential, which must be drawn out of them. With over 4 years of leading workshops, being a Teaching Assistant and creating curriculum, and nearly two years of private tutoring, I know how to help students and people of all ages easily understand concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Having graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Bachelors degree in Engineering Science, I know how to move from not understanding a subject to understanding it well. The subjects I tutor include: - Math (Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus**, Calculus 1**, Calculus 2** and Statistics**) - Computer Science (AP CSP / AP Comp SciA, Python, ReactJS/JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Powershell/Bash Scripting) - Science (Physics**) ** - tutor subject at high school/AP/college level My teaching style includes completely modeling a problem on the board. Then, I would guide a student through solving a problem before having them solve it independently.

Most physics struggles come down to translating a word problem into the right free-body diagram or energy equation. Viraj teaches that translation step explicitly, walking through how to identify forces, choose coordinate systems, and apply Newton's laws before any numbers enter the picture. His science-heavy Cornell curriculum keeps these concepts sharp across mechanics, waves, and electricity.

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.

Kathleen's math background at Washington University gives her a natural advantage when teaching physics — she treats kinematics equations, force diagrams, and energy conservation as applied math problems rather than disconnected formulas. She digs into the specific step where a student gets stuck, whether that's setting up a free-body diagram or knowing when to apply Newton's second law versus conservation of momentum.

Engineering training changes how you see physics problems — instead of hunting for the right equation, you learn to diagram forces, track energy, and let the math follow the physics. Christine brings that engineering mindset from her biomedical engineering studies at Johns Hopkins, where mechanics and electromagnetism aren't just coursework but tools she applies in lab and design projects.

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 and Mechanics, so he knows exactly where students lose the thread — especially when multi-step force and energy problems demand both physical reasoning and clean math. Rated 4.9 by students.

Dylan has taken both mechanics and electricity/magnetism at the college level through Northwestern's engineering program, giving him deep familiarity with everything from free-body diagrams to circuit analysis. He unpacks problems by identifying which physical principles apply first — conservation of energy, Newton's laws, Gauss's law — before touching a single equation.

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 tricks to kinematics and energy problems that make the math faster and less error-prone. Holds a 5.0 rating from students.

Kinematics equations and free-body diagrams are straightforward once a student learns to read a physics problem like a story — identifying what's moving, what forces act on it, and what the question is really asking. Maggie teaches that translation process explicitly, drawing on her science background to walk through mechanics, energy conservation, and wave behavior with clarity. She holds a 5.0 student rating.

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.

Serving as a Course Assistant for Harvard's calculus sequence means Sanjana regularly works through the exact derivatives, integrals, and differential equations that underpin every physics topic from kinematics to rotational dynamics — and she teaches AP Physics 1 through AP Physics C: E&M, so she knows where the math starts tripping students up in each course. She breaks problems down by isolating the physical principle first, then building the mathematical solution step by step so nothing feels like a leap. Rated 5.0 by students.

Derek earned a 790 on the SAT Physics Subject Test and scored 5s on both AP Physics 1 and AP Physics C: Mechanics, covering everything from kinematics and energy conservation to rotational dynamics. He teaches physics by anchoring each problem in a free-body diagram or energy diagram first, so students learn to set up solutions systematically before touching equations.

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.
