Studying computer science and applied math at Harvard means Derek uses physics constantly — from electromagnetism in circuit design to mechanics in computational modeling. He tackles college-level topics like Lagrangian dynamics and wave equations by connecting the math to physical intuition, making dense derivations feel less abstract.

I am graduated from Penn State University in Industrial Engineering in 2017. I've tutored ever since I was in high school, and I love helping people! I like to help my students understand math (and other topics) instead of just doing it blindly. My goal is to help my students improve their math (and other topics) and build skills that will help them find learning easier in the future! Fun fact, I used to work for Disney and I like to salsa dance!
A medical student who triple-majored in theoretical mathematics, computer science, and chemistry, Lance has the unusual combination of deep calculus fluency and hands-on science training that college physics actually requires — he's not just recalling formulas but deriving them from first principles. His TA experience across more than a dozen courses means he's seen the specific conceptual breakdowns students hit in topics like electromagnetism and rotational motion, and he knows how to rebuild that understanding on the spot.
Daniel's applied math degree gives him the calculus fluency that college physics lives on — setting up integrals for center-of-mass problems, solving second-order differential equations for oscillatory motion, working through vector fields in electromagnetism. His software development career adds a second layer: he teaches students to approach multi-step physics problems the way a programmer debugs code, isolating variables and testing assumptions systematically before committing to a solution path. Rated 5.0 by students.
Graduate statistics teaching at USF means Matthew regularly translates complex quantitative relationships into something students can actually work with — a skill that transfers directly to college physics, where setting up equations of motion or interpreting force diagrams demands the same structured, step-by-step reasoning. His psychology background at Johns Hopkins also included a heavy dose of research methods and data analysis, so he's comfortable walking through experimental design and error propagation in physics labs. Rated 4.8 by students.
Neuroscience at Northwestern meant Amira spent semesters deep in the physics that governs how the brain actually works — electrical potentials across membranes are capacitor problems, ion flow follows current equations, and every fMRI study she read depended on electromagnetism. That pre-med science track also put her through the full calculus-based mechanics and thermodynamics sequence, so she can walk through force diagrams and energy conservation with the fluency of someone who needed those tools to understand her own major.
As a medical student who scored a 33 ACT, Kaitlyn tackles college physics problems the way she learned to in her biology coursework — by grounding abstract forces, energy, and wave concepts in the physical systems they actually describe, from pressure in fluid columns to the optics behind a microscope. She breaks down the problem-setup phase that most students rush past, teaching them to identify whether they're dealing with conservation laws, Newton's laws, or field equations before touching a formula. Rated 4.8 by students.
St. John's College runs entirely on primary sources — Kelsey reads Newton's *Principia* and Maxwell's original papers, not textbook summaries of them, which means she understands the reasoning physicists actually used to derive the laws that show up on college exams. That deep-reading approach pays off when students need to untangle what a problem is really asking before they can set up the math. Her 34 ACT reflects the analytical sharpness she brings to quantitative coursework.
Graduate-level botany and marine biology involve more physics than most people realize — fluid dynamics in plant vasculature, optics in photosynthesis research, wave mechanics in marine acoustics — so Tara came into college physics with a working sense of how these concepts behave in living systems. She taught lab courses during her master's program and developed a knack for giving students new frameworks for attacking problems, particularly in mechanics and thermodynamics, that click where textbook explanations don't.
I am looking to help you with your math and physics questions. I am a graduate student studying hurricane physics and enjoy using my deep understanding of material to help others. Hope to meet you soon!
Biochemistry forced Lorenzo to internalize the physics that most pre-med students skim past — thermodynamic cycles in metabolic pathways, electrostatics in molecular interactions, and fluid dynamics in biological systems. He brings that cross-disciplinary lens to college physics, breaking down mechanics and energy problems by connecting the math to the physical picture rather than treating equations as recipes to follow.
As a biochemistry TA and pre-med student at the University of Florida, Rangish regularly encounters physics principles hiding inside biological systems — osmotic pressure as a fluid statics problem, diffusion rates governed by kinetic energy, enzyme kinetics rooted in thermodynamic favorability. That cross-disciplinary lens makes him especially useful for students who need to see how force, energy, and motion concepts actually connect to something beyond the textbook problem set. Rated 4.9 by students.
Being a medical student at UCF who previously TA'd biology at UCSD, Kevin knows exactly where the physics shows up that pre-med students dread — optics in vision, fluid dynamics in circulation, pressure and gas behavior in respiration — and he teaches those connections explicitly rather than leaving students to figure them out on a problem set. His human biology degree means he naturally anchors abstract force diagrams and energy calculations to the body systems students already care about. Rated 4.9 by students.
A molecular and cellular biology major might not scream 'physics tutor,' but Jason's AP Chemistry tutoring background and heavy science coursework at University of North Florida mean he's comfortable with the quantitative reasoning that underpins mechanics and thermodynamics — especially the overlap between physical chemistry and introductory physics concepts like energy, pressure, and kinetics. He breaks problems down step by step, making sure the setup logic clicks before any numbers get plugged in. Holds a 5.0 rating.
Studying for the MCAT while holding a human biology degree means Susie is actively grinding through the physics that overlaps both exams — optics, fluid dynamics, forces, and energy — keeping her problem-solving sharp and her memory of common stumbling points fresh. She connects physics concepts back to biological systems (think pressure in blood vessels or torque in joint mechanics), which gives pre-med students an anchor that makes abstract equations feel purposeful. Rated 4.8 by students.
Fifteen passed AP exams — including both Physics C courses — means Nathan encountered college-level mechanics and E&M before most students set foot in a university lecture hall, and his computer science work at UCF keeps him sharp on the mathematical and logical problem-solving those courses demand. He breaks down force diagrams, circuit problems, and wave behavior by walking through the reasoning step by step, so the physics clicks rather than just the algebra. Rated 4.9 by students.
Neuroscience is sneakily physics-heavy — membrane capacitance, ionic current flow, diffusion equations, electromagnetic principles behind EEG and MRI — and Evan's B.S. in the field means he's worked through all of it firsthand. That gives him a practical angle on college physics topics like circuits, waves, and electromagnetism that connects textbook problems to systems students can actually picture. Rated 5.0 by students.
I'm currently an undergraduate student at Georgia Institute of Technology pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering. I mostly tutor subjects that reside in the STEM field as those subjects are my strong points. I have been a tutor in the past back in high school. During that time, I realized that helping students understand difficult material can be very awarding. In my free time, when I'm not studying for school or practicing sports, I like to play video games and hangout with friends. Every once in a while I'll pick up my violin and play songs that I've learned in the past; I find it very relaxing.
College-level physics demands comfort with calculus-based derivations that many students didn't encounter in high school. Conrad's biophysics coursework covered mechanics, thermodynamics, and electrodynamics at the university level, so he knows exactly where the difficulty spikes — particularly around rotational dynamics and Maxwell's equations. He walks through derivations step by step, connecting each line of math back to the physical picture.
A microbiology degree from the University of Florida means Roy spent years in courses where physics shows up uninvited — diffusion rates, osmotic pressure, centrifugation forces, light microscopy optics — so he knows how to ground abstract physics concepts in processes students can actually picture. He breaks down mechanics and wave behavior by connecting the math to the physical situation first, making sure the equation choice follows from understanding rather than guesswork.
Biomedical engineering at Miami means Brandon is knee-deep in the physics that governs medical devices — fluid dynamics through artificial valves, electrical signals in biosensors, stress analysis on implant materials — so the problems on a college physics syllabus map directly onto his daily coursework. He breaks down force diagrams and energy methods by tying them back to the engineering applications that make the concepts stick. Holds a 5.0 rating.
Annalyn's aeronautical engineering degree means she didn't just study college physics — she applied it, calculating lift forces, analyzing fluid flow over airfoils, and solving statics problems where getting the free-body diagram wrong meant a failed design. That hands-on engineering context makes her especially effective at teaching mechanics and dynamics, since she can show students how textbook concepts like Newton's laws and energy conservation play out in real systems. Her additional training in laser and optical technology adds depth when courses reach wave optics and electromagnetic radiation.
Biomedical sciences coursework gave Emyli a front-row seat to physics in action — fluid pressure in circulatory systems, optics in diagnostic imaging, biomechanical forces on joints and tissues — so she teaches college physics concepts through the biological applications that make them concrete. She's especially strong at walking through the math behind mechanics and wave phenomena, connecting each equation back to something students can visualize. Rated 4.6 by students.
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.
A physics degree means Nima didn't just pass college physics — he built his entire undergraduate education on top of it, from classical mechanics through electromagnetism and modern physics. He breaks down multi-step problems by teaching students to identify the governing principle first, then translate it into math, which is where a 1580 SAT and deep comfort with calculus-based reasoning pay off.
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.
Running an immunology lab at Columbia University Medical Center means Matthew applies physics daily in ways most tutors haven't — calibrating imaging equipment, analyzing force and pressure data in tissue samples, and troubleshooting instruments that depend on optics and electromagnetism. That hands-on fluency, combined with a physics degree and a 35 ACT, lets him teach college-level mechanics and E&M problems by connecting equations to the physical systems they actually describe.
College-level physics ramps up fast, especially when courses introduce calculus-based mechanics or electromagnetism for the first time. Charles works through these topics as part of his mechanical engineering curriculum at Yale, so he can walk through derivations of torque, moment of inertia, or Gauss's law with the fluency of someone who applies them in lab and design projects regularly.
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.
Pursuing an MD at Stanford after a double major in economics and molecular/cellular biology, Maggie brings a pre-med perspective to college physics that makes topics like optics, fluid dynamics, and wave mechanics feel immediately relevant rather than abstract. She's especially sharp at teaching students to set up problems cleanly — translating a physical scenario into the right free-body diagram or energy equation before doing any math. Rated 5.0 by students.
Bidyut's biomedical engineering coursework at Johns Hopkins means he tackles college physics problems — from rotational dynamics to electromagnetic induction — with the applied perspective of someone who uses these principles in lab and design work daily. He connects abstract force diagrams and circuit analyses to real engineering scenarios so the physics actually clicks. Rated 5.0 by students.
College-level physics ramps up fast, and the jump from textbook examples to exam problems can be brutal. Bryan earned his B.S. in Physics and tackles that gap by teaching problem-solving frameworks — symmetry arguments in electrostatics, constraint equations in multi-body dynamics — that transfer across chapters instead of requiring a new trick every week.
Studying applied mathematics at Caltech means Samuel encounters physics constantly — from classical mechanics and energy conservation to electromagnetism and wave behavior. He breaks down the math behind physical systems so that equations like Maxwell's or Newton's second law feel like tools rather than obstacles.
Biomedical engineering at Yale means Ellie applies physics daily — from fluid dynamics in circulatory models to electromagnetic principles in medical imaging. She breaks down topics like torque, wave optics, and circuit analysis by connecting them to real systems she encounters in her coursework and research. Rated 5.0 by students.
Engineering coursework at Cornell means Abby is actively grinding through the same calculus-based physics — mechanics, wave motion, electromagnetism — that her students are tackling, which keeps her explanations grounded in the specific problem styles and pitfalls that show up on current exams. She breaks down multi-step problems by isolating the physical principle first, then translating it into the math, so students stop guessing which equation to use. Holds a 5.0 rating.
