Abigail
BA Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

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!

Matthew
Certified College Physics Tutor
Matthew
MS University of South Florida-Main Campus • BA Johns Hopkins University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Kevin
BA University of California-San Diego
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Evan
BA Trinity University
7+ Years Tutoring

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.

Nathan
Current Undergrad, Computer Science University of Central Florida
10+ Years Tutoring

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
Aeronautical Engineer, Aerospace Engineering University of Central Florida • Certificate, Laser and Optical Technology Valencia College
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Emyli
BA University of Central Florida
8+ Years Tutoring

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.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.
