An electrical engineering degree and a PhD in planetary science means Miriam learned physics twice — once through circuits and signal processing, and again through orbital mechanics and radiative transfer. She tackles everything from Newtonian mechanics to electromagnetism by grounding equations in physical intuition, showing students what the math actually describes. Rated 5.0 by students.

Every physics problem is really a reading comprehension exercise wrapped in math — identifying which principles apply, translating a scenario into equations, and checking whether the answer makes physical sense. Michael teaches that full process, from free-body diagrams in mechanics to energy conservation arguments, drawing on over thirty years of classroom experience. His molecular biology research background also means he can show students how physics underpins everything from medical imaging to protein folding.
Kinematics and force diagrams click faster when someone can tie them back to real systems — and Priya's background in biotechnology gives her a knack for connecting physics to tangible applications. She walks through free-body diagrams, energy conservation, and rotational motion with an emphasis on setting up problems correctly before touching a calculator.
Kinematics equations and free-body diagrams become much less intimidating when someone explains the physical intuition behind the math. Jason's STEM training at UNF gives him fluency in the calculus and algebra that underpin mechanics, waves, and energy problems, so he can pinpoint exactly where a student's reasoning breaks down. He approaches each problem by sketching the scenario first, then building the equation — not the other way around.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Physics students often struggle with visualizing abstract concepts like forces, motion, and energy—it's hard to see what's happening at the molecular or quantum level. Many students also find unit conversions and balancing equations frustrating, and they may memorize formulas without understanding the underlying principles. Personalized tutoring helps bridge this gap by connecting theory to real-world applications and breaking down complex concepts into manageable pieces.
Your first session is about understanding where you are and where you want to go. A tutor will assess your current grasp of physics concepts, identify specific areas causing confusion, and learn about your learning style. This foundation helps create a personalized plan that targets your biggest challenges—whether that's kinematics, energy conservation, or exam preparation.
Absolutely. Tutors can help you understand the scientific method, design experiments, analyze data, and connect lab results back to theoretical concepts. They can also help you prepare lab reports and develop the critical thinking skills needed to interpret experimental outcomes—skills that strengthen your overall physics understanding beyond just getting the right answer.
Expert tutors focus on building conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization. They explain *why* formulas work, show you how to derive them from first principles, and help you recognize when and how to apply them in different contexts. This approach makes physics stick and makes problem-solving feel less like guessing and more like logical reasoning.
Tutors work with students across the full physics curriculum, including mechanics (forces, motion, energy), waves and sound, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, and modern physics. Whether you're in high school physics, AP Physics, IB Physics, or college-level courses, personalized instruction adapts to your specific curriculum and pacing.
Tutors use multiple strategies to make abstract concepts concrete: diagrams, real-world examples, interactive problem-solving, and sometimes even demonstrations or simulations. For instance, understanding circular motion becomes clearer when you see it applied to satellites or roller coasters. Breaking down invisible forces and energy transfers into visual, relatable scenarios helps your brain build stronger mental models.
Tutors help you review key concepts, practice problem-solving under timed conditions, identify your weak spots, and develop test-taking strategies. They also teach you how to approach unfamiliar problems using scientific reasoning rather than just pattern-matching to examples you've seen before—a skill that transfers directly to exam success.
