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!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
College-level physics layers calculus and more rigorous problem-solving onto the conceptual foundations from high school, and Samantha's Cornell science background means she's fluent in both the math and the theory. She breaks down topics like rotational dynamics, electric fields, and thermodynamic cycles using visual models and step-by-step dimensional analysis that keep the problem-solving process clear.
Two physics degrees — a B.S. and a PhD — mean Zhengdong has worked through every layer of the college physics sequence, from introductory Newtonian mechanics all the way to quantum theory and advanced electrodynamics. He's particularly effective at teaching students to translate a physical scenario into the right mathematical framework, whether that's setting up free-body diagrams in mechanics or applying Gauss's law to symmetric charge distributions. Rated 4.8 by students.
Molecular biology might seem like a different world from physics, but Agustin's coursework lives in the overlap — diffusion equations, fluid dynamics in cellular transport, and the thermodynamics behind protein folding all demand real physics fluency. He pairs that life-sciences perspective with strong quantitative chops (1560 SAT) to break down mechanics and energy problems in ways that click for students who think more naturally in biological terms than abstract force diagrams.
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.
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.
Environmental engineering is essentially physics with consequences — Kate's master's work required her to model fluid flow, heat transfer, and pressure systems in real infrastructure, which means she's solved the same types of problems that show up on college physics exams but with actual design constraints attached. That applied perspective makes her particularly effective at teaching students to set up force balances and energy equations from a physical scenario rather than reverse-engineering from a formula sheet. Rated 4.9 by students.
Three science-focused bachelor's degrees — including biology — meant Garrett sat through the full calculus-based physics sequence and kept coming back to it in physiology and physical chemistry, where concepts like fluid dynamics, pressure gradients, and energy transfer show up again and again. That repeated exposure across disciplines gives him an intuitive feel for when to apply conservation of energy versus momentum, or how to reason through a thermodynamics problem without getting lost in the formalism. His 1530 SAT speaks to the quantitative sharpness he brings to each session.
When a college physics problem looks like pure abstraction — a block on a frictionless ramp, a charge in a uniform field — Dylan's instinct is to sketch it out, graph it, and show what's physically happening before touching an equation. That visual, graphical approach comes from his physics major at Vanderbilt, where he's simultaneously studying classics and computer science, giving him an unusual ability to translate dense quantitative reasoning into clear, intuitive language. He holds a 4.5 rating and a 36 ACT composite.
College-level physics demands more than plug-and-chug — problems in electrodynamics, rotational mechanics, or thermodynamics often require combining multiple principles in a single solution. Pranav digs into these multi-step problems as a Biomedical Engineering student at Johns Hopkins, where physics underpins much of his coursework. He walks through derivations and problem-solving strategies that build real fluency with the material rather than surface-level familiarity.
Premed coursework and a computing degree at Notre Dame meant Aidan sat through the full sequence of calculus-based physics — mechanics, E&M, waves — while simultaneously learning to think algorithmically about complex problems. That combination is particularly useful when students hit the wall where physics stops being plug-and-chug and starts requiring multi-step reasoning, like connecting free-body diagrams to energy methods or translating a word problem into the right integral. His 35 ACT speaks to the quantitative fluency he brings to those tougher setups.
College-level physics ramps up quickly, especially once calculus-based mechanics and electromagnetism enter the picture. Richard's time as a course assistant in Harvard's math department gave him deep comfort with the calculus underpinning topics like electric flux integrals and differential equations of motion. He teaches the physics and the math simultaneously, so students aren't left wondering where a derivation came from.
A chemistry degree from Yale means Zosia spent years in courses where physics does the heavy lifting — thermodynamics driving reaction spontaneity, quantum mechanics explaining atomic structure, electrostatics governing molecular interactions — so she knows these concepts from the inside out. She's particularly effective at teaching students to translate word-heavy problem statements into clean free-body diagrams or energy bar charts before touching an equation. Rated 4.9 by students.

Frequently Asked Questions
College Physics typically covers mechanics (motion, forces, energy), thermodynamics, waves and sound, electricity and magnetism, and modern physics concepts. The course emphasizes both theoretical understanding and practical problem-solving, often including lab work where you apply concepts to real experiments. If you're taking the course at a local Orlando institution, your specific curriculum may vary, but these foundational topics form the core of most college-level physics programs.
Physics relies heavily on visualization—imagining how forces act, how fields interact, and how energy transfers. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps break down these abstract ideas into concrete examples and diagrams tailored to how you learn best. A tutor can walk you through step-by-step visualizations, use real-world analogies, and help you sketch force diagrams and field representations until the concepts click.
Yes, most College Physics courses include hands-on labs where you conduct experiments, collect data, and analyze results. Tutoring helps you understand the physics principles behind each experiment, design proper procedures, interpret data accurately, and connect lab observations back to theory. This bridges the gap between what you learn in lectures and what you observe in the lab.
Effective problem-solving in physics requires a systematic approach: identify what you know and what you're solving for, choose the right equations or principles, work through the math carefully, and check if your answer makes physical sense. Many students struggle with unit conversions or knowing which formula to apply—personalized tutoring helps you develop a reliable problem-solving strategy and build confidence tackling unfamiliar questions.
Understanding concepts is far more valuable than memorization alone. When you grasp the underlying physics principles, you can derive or adapt formulas as needed and apply them to new situations. That said, you'll want to memorize key formulas and constants for exams. A tutor helps you build deep conceptual understanding first, then shows you which formulas matter most and how to use them effectively.
Your first session is about understanding your specific challenges and learning style. A tutor will likely ask about topics you find most confusing, review your course materials, and work through a sample problem or concept with you to see where you need the most support. This helps establish a personalized plan focused on your goals—whether that's improving your grade, preparing for exams, or building stronger conceptual understanding.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong backgrounds in physics and experience teaching college-level material. When you reach out, you'll be matched with someone whose expertise and teaching style fit your needs. Look for tutors who can explain concepts clearly, work through problems patiently, and help you develop problem-solving skills—not just provide answers.
Exam preparation in physics requires more than reviewing notes—you need to practice problems under timed conditions, identify weak areas, and build confidence with different question types. A tutor can help you create a study plan, work through practice exams, clarify concepts you're still unsure about, and develop test-taking strategies specific to physics. This targeted preparation typically leads to stronger performance on exam day.
