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.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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'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 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 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
College Physics courses generally cover mechanics (motion, forces, energy, and momentum), waves and sound, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, and light and optics. The specific emphasis depends on your course—introductory College Physics may focus more on conceptual understanding and real-world applications, while calculus-based physics digs deeper into mathematical relationships. Most courses also include lab components where you apply concepts through experiments and measurements. Working with a tutor can help you connect these topics to their practical applications, from understanding how engines work to how electricity powers your devices.
College Physics requires you to move beyond memorization to truly understand how the physical world works—you need to visualize abstract concepts like forces, fields, and energy transformations that you can't always see directly. The math can be intimidating too, especially if you're dealing with unit conversions, vector calculations, or calculus-based problem-solving. Many students also struggle with the gap between knowing a formula and knowing when and how to apply it in unfamiliar situations. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you build conceptual understanding, develop problem-solving strategies, and gain confidence tackling complex scenarios.
Physics labs are where theory meets reality—but many students find it hard to connect what they observe in the lab to the concepts they're learning in lecture. A tutor can help you understand the scientific method behind your experiments, interpret data accurately, analyze sources of error, and draw meaningful conclusions. They can also help you prepare for labs by explaining the underlying physics beforehand, and work with you after to make sure you understand what your results mean. This deeper engagement with lab work strengthens both your conceptual understanding and your scientific reasoning skills.
Effective problem-solving in physics starts with understanding what's actually being asked, not just plugging numbers into formulas. The best approach involves identifying the physical principles at play, drawing diagrams or free-body diagrams, organizing your known and unknown variables, selecting the right equations or concepts, and solving step-by-step while checking your work. Many students skip the visualization and conceptual steps, which leads to confusion and careless mistakes. A tutor can teach you systematic problem-solving strategies, help you practice applying them, and give you immediate feedback on your reasoning—turning physics problems from frustrating obstacles into manageable challenges.
Look for tutors with strong backgrounds in physics who can explain complex ideas clearly and patiently. They should be able to work with both conceptual understanding and the mathematical side, adapt their teaching to your learning style, and help you build problem-solving strategies rather than just showing you how to do one problem. It's also valuable if they understand your specific course requirements and can help you prepare for exams and lab reports. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors for students in Miami who have the experience and communication skills to help you master College Physics.
The amount of tutoring you need depends on your starting point, the difficulty of your specific course, and your goals. Some students benefit from weekly sessions throughout the semester to stay on track and deepen their understanding. Others focus on intensive help before exams or when tackling particularly challenging units. Many find that even one or two sessions a week, combined with consistent self-study, can significantly improve both their understanding and their grades. A tutor can help you create a personalized plan based on your needs and timeline.
Understanding physics means being able to predict what will happen in new situations and explain why—not just remembering that F=ma. Tutors help you build this deep understanding by asking questions that make you think through the reasoning, using real-world examples and visualizations to make abstract concepts concrete, and having you explain concepts in your own words. They also guide you to recognize patterns and connections between different topics, so you see physics as a coherent system rather than disconnected facts. This approach takes more work than memorization, but it makes problem-solving easier and helps concepts stick with you long after the course ends.
