Saniya
Certified Physics Tutor
Saniya
BA Rhodes College
8+ Years Tutoring

Neuroscience coursework at Rhodes College put Saniya through the same mechanics, electricity, and wave physics that introductory students face — action potentials are membrane capacitance problems, nerve signal propagation is wave behavior, and biomechanics is straight Newtonian analysis. She leans on those biological connections to make force diagrams and energy calculations feel grounded in something real rather than purely abstract. Rated 5.0 by students.

Chris
BA Cornell University
6+ Years Tutoring

Cornell's engineering curriculum throws Chris into the deep end of Newtonian mechanics, electromagnetism, and wave theory — the same material that makes up a standard physics course — so the content stays fresh and applied rather than theoretical. He pairs that with a knack for teaching across age groups, breaking force diagrams and energy conservation problems into steps that match how each student actually thinks. Rated 5.0 by students.

Alexandra
BA Emerson College • Doctor of Philosophy, Astronomy Georgia State University
6+ Years Tutoring

Alexandra doesn't teach physics from a textbook alone — she publishes astrophysics research, runs university telescopes, and codes simulations in Python to model real physical systems. That means when she walks through kinematics, electromagnetism, or wave optics, she can show exactly where each concept appears in the wild. She covers everything from AP Physics 1 mechanics through college-level E&M.

Jonathan
BA Carleton College
14+ Years Tutoring

A physics and astronomy degree means Jonathan didn't just study physics — he built his entire education around it, from classical mechanics and electromagnetism to thermodynamics and wave optics. He teaches each topic by starting with the physical scenario, sketching what's happening, and only then reaching for equations. That sequence — picture first, math second — consistently turns confusing force diagrams and energy problems into something students can reason through on their own.

Studying prosthetics and orthotics at Georgia Tech means Michael applies Newtonian mechanics, torque, and material stress analysis to the human body on a daily basis. He brings that same applied lens to physics tutoring, breaking down free-body diagrams, kinematics, and energy conservation by anchoring each problem in a physical situation students can actually picture.

Matthew
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
8+ Years Tutoring

Chemical engineering at Georgia Tech is essentially applied physics — thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and energy balances every semester — so Matthew brings a problem-solver's instinct to topics like kinematics, electrostatics, and wave behavior. He teaches students to sketch the scenario, identify known quantities, and choose the right equation before plugging in a single number, which turns intimidating multi-step problems into manageable sequences. His 34 ACT composite reflects that same systematic precision.

Adam
BA University of Georgia
14+ Years Tutoring

Adam's strength in physics comes from teaching it alongside math and standardized test prep — he knows exactly which algebra and trig gaps cause students to stall out mid-problem, and he addresses both the physics reasoning and the underlying math simultaneously. His approach to mechanics and kinematics leans heavily on breaking word problems into small, numbered steps, a habit built from years of tutoring students across multiple math levels.

Manideep

4+ Years Tutoring

Most physics struggles come down to translating a word problem into a free-body diagram or energy equation — the math itself is usually algebra or basic calculus students already know. Manideep zeroes in on that translation step, teaching students to identify forces, choose coordinate systems, and set up equations before touching a calculator. His science-heavy coursework at Northwestern keeps Newtonian mechanics and wave concepts sharp.

Two mechanical engineering degrees mean Ziad has solved thousands of problems rooted in Newtonian mechanics, energy conservation, and wave behavior — not as textbook exercises, but as the foundation for designing real systems involving fluid flow and heat transfer. He teaches students to isolate the physical principle governing a scenario first, then build the math around it, which is especially effective for multi-concept problems in dynamics and thermodynamics. Rated 4.8 by students.

Every physics problem is really a story about forces, energy, or motion — the math just describes what's happening. Taylor teaches students to sketch the scenario, identify the relevant principle, and only then reach for an equation, which prevents the common mistake of plugging numbers into the wrong formula. A B.S. in Chemistry and ongoing graduate work at the University of Tennessee keep Taylor fluent in the math and scientific reasoning physics demands.

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.
