Studying physics and astronomy as a liberal arts major meant Jonathan couldn't just crunch equations — he had to write about them, argue about them, and explain the reasoning behind everything from Newtonian mechanics to electromagnetic wave behavior. That training in articulating *why* a physical principle works makes him especially useful when students can set up the math but can't interpret what their answer actually means. He treats every problem as a chance to build physical intuition, not just algebraic reflex.

Spectroscopic research on protoplanetary disks means Alexandra spends her days applying the same physics that fills college problem sets — electromagnetic radiation, wave behavior, thermal equilibrium, and gravitational dynamics — except aimed at baby stars forming planets. Her astronomy PhD gives her a rare ability to walk through optics, mechanics, and thermodynamics problems with the fluency of someone who uses those equations to publish real findings. Rated 4.9 by students.

Chemical and biomolecular engineering at Georgia Tech meant Matthew spent years applying thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and transport phenomena to real systems — the same physics principles that make college courses demanding, except he had to use them to design processes that actually worked. That engineering intuition is especially useful when students hit energy balances, heat transfer, or pressure-driven flow problems and need someone who can connect the textbook derivation to what's physically happening. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Prosthetics design at Georgia Tech is essentially applied physics — Michael's graduate work involves analyzing forces on residual limbs, stress distributions in socket materials, and the biomechanics of gait, all of which map directly onto the mechanics and dynamics problems in a college physics course.

Holds a 5.0 rating.

After an 11-year hiatus, I am excited to return to one-on-one tutoring in high school and college-level precalculus, calculus, and physics. My goal is to build students' confidence in subjects that often feel overwhelming by identifying the root of their challenges - whether it's a forgotten foundational skill or a mismatch in teaching and learning styles - and helping them work through those roadblocks with clarity and patience. I discovered my passion for tutoring in high school through volunteer mentoring and later assisted classmates in physics at my teacher's request. Since then, I have supported students in courses ranging from geometry to upper-level calculus. I am currently tutoring while pursuing my next full-time opportunity, most recently having worked for a railroad construction products supplier.
