Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

I am reliving the process of learning that concept myself, both by explaining the concept in new ways and by seeing students wrestle with and eventually grasp the concept for themselves. For me, teaching is a way of "living vicariously" through students by experiencing the joy of learning once more.
I am working towards completing a computer engineering major.
I am an effective, skilled communicator and tutor. I am personable, approachable, and fun.

I'm an electrical engineering major at Brown University with interests in neuroscience, linguistics, and robotics, among other things. I've always loved learning, and my curiosity has led me through numerous subject areas. I constantly seek to apply my classroom learning in practical situations. For example, I have conducted research on dementia using electrophysiology in a mollusk model. I participate in hackathons and robotics challenges that test not only my programming ability but also my hardware skills as a tinkerer. My engineering pursuits require a strong foundation in mathematics, my interest in the life sciences calls for a myriad of memorization techniques, and my participation in the academic world at large reminds me daily of the importance of sharp writing skills. I hope to share some of these things, both content and technique, with my students. Though I will make sure that they can come away from each session armed with the skills needed to take on the modern education system, I also hope that they will take with them some appreciation for learning itself.
I'm a junior at Yale University pursuing a double major in Linguistics and Theater. I have experience tutoring in a variety of subjects, but I'm particularly excited to help students with writing, critical reading, and SAT or ACT preparation. I had a strong support network of teachers and mentors throughout middle and high school, so I understand firsthand the importance of thoughtful, individualized educational enrichment. I seek to meet each student where they are in order to help them reach their greatest potential! When I'm not tutoring, you might find me performing improv comedy, playing saxophone, or trying to write the next great American musical.
I'm an undergraduate at Rice University, majoring in Physics and Biochemistry, with a strong passion for research, classical music, and good teaching. I've loved math and science from a young age and am eager to share my knowledge with other students. I believe that everyone deserves to enjoy learning about our world and that everyone has their own preferred way to learn. That's why I hope to offer personalized tutoring that helps you learn not just the material but also how to better teach yourself.
I am a rising sophomore studying civil engineering at Cornell University. I enjoy tutoring math (algebra-calculus 3), high school and college physics, Spanish, and writing. I have experience tutoring throughout high school, where I was the head of a peer-tutoring program. I have continued tutoring in college as well.
I am currently working for a tutoring service called Princeton Tutoring as an independent contractor. As a member of their tutoring base, I instruct students in Math, Physics, AP Exams and most often, the SAT. I have obtained outstanding scores and am confident I can convey instruction and techniques that have worked for me. I have a solid foundation in the Spanish language and am completely fluent in German and Russian.
I am a great tutor because not only are my fundamental verbal and quantitative skills strong, but I am able to communicate my reasoning and problem solving skills quickly and clearly.
I am a lifelong learner, teacher, and researcher in the field of physics. I received a PhD in Physics from the University of Michigan and a BS in Physics from Rice University. I have four years of physics teaching experience at the University of Michigan, primarily undergraduate laboratory courses with an emphasis on electromagnetism, circuits, waves, optics, and real-world applications of these and other physical phenomena. Many of these courses, including one I helped design, focused on helping non-STEM students master physics concepts that may be difficult to grasp in a standard classroom setting. I have tutored in a variety of subjects since high school, but most recently I have spent several years helping students understand concepts and succeed in coursework throughout a large variety of college-level physics topics, from basic mechanics to advanced electrodynamics and special relativity.
I am a 2023 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Finance/Economics major and a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. I am a passionate student in the math and business realms, as I enjoy the intuitiveness of the former and the real-world potential of the latter. During classes in middle and high school, I developed a reputation of being a good source of help within my classes in a non-tutor capacity, and grew that into a peer tutor role a couple times a week during lunch my senior year of high school. What I hope to accomplish with my tutoring is ensure that you not only achieve your desired grade/score, but see how the different concepts relate to each other in the bigger picture. The more important part is to critically think about the subject matter in other, more unfamiliar contexts. Also, in my math subjects, I seek to provide personal secrets in realms including quicker computation strategies, unique acronyms for certain rules, and other intuitive shortcuts.
I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, where I received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and recently started biking again.
I am currently a rising junior at Cornell University studying physics. I have worked with students of the elementary, middle, and high school levels in subjects such as math, physics, and even music production! I mainly focus on tutoring math and physics because I believe having a deep understanding of these subjects allows one to think more analytically of the world around us. I also believe in getting to know how a student learns best, as everyone learns differently, and tailoring lessons with that learning method in mind.
I am passionate about helping students, because the young generation is the future of our society. With the correct learn method and effective help, everybody can achieve the goal they set for themselves.
I am an energetic tutor with an abundance of tutoring experience in a broad range of subjects. As a biology major at Washington University in St. Louis, I am well-versed in chemistry, biology, physics and calculus. I have privately tutored elementary through high school students in these areas of study, as well as algebra, trigonometry and geometry. However, my academic interests are not limited to math and science. My true academic passion is for French language and literature, which is my second major at my university. I developed this passion at a young age, but mastered the language during my semester abroad in a language-immersion program in Toulouse, France.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Physics includes two main courses: AP Physics 1 (algebra-based) and AP Physics 2 (algebra-based continuation), plus AP Physics C (calculus-based). Both cover mechanics, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics. The specific topics and depth depend on which AP Physics course you're taking, so it's helpful to clarify your course level when connecting with a tutor who can tailor instruction to your curriculum.
Many students struggle with translating word problems into equations, visualizing abstract concepts like electric fields and wave behavior, and managing the pace of the course. Additionally, AP Physics requires strong problem-solving skills and the ability to apply concepts across different scenarios—not just memorizing formulas. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps identify exactly where you're getting stuck and builds confidence in tackling complex problems.
Effective AP Physics prep involves mastering core concepts, practicing free-response and multiple-choice questions under timed conditions, and identifying weak areas early. The exam rewards deep understanding over memorization, so working through practice problems and learning to explain your reasoning is essential. A tutor can help you develop a study schedule, review past exam questions, and build test-taking strategies specific to AP Physics's question formats.
Score improvement depends on your starting point, how much time you commit, and the specific concepts you need to strengthen. Students who work consistently with a tutor and complete regular practice problems typically see meaningful gains, especially in problem-solving accuracy and confidence. Rather than guaranteeing a specific score jump, focus on identifying gaps in your understanding early and addressing them systematically—that's what leads to real improvement.
Your first session is an opportunity to discuss your current understanding of AP Physics, identify specific topics that are challenging, and learn about your learning style. A tutor will assess where you stand in the course, understand your goals (whether it's mastering a unit or preparing for the exam), and create a personalized plan. This foundation helps ensure every future session is focused and productive.
Starting tutoring early in the school year gives you time to build a strong foundation and address concepts as they're introduced in class. However, even if you're already partway through the course or in the final weeks before the exam, targeted tutoring can help you catch up and focus on high-impact areas. The sooner you connect with a tutor, the more time you have to practice and build confidence.
Look for tutors with strong physics backgrounds—ideally with experience teaching or tutoring AP Physics specifically. They should understand the AP exam format, common student misconceptions, and how to explain abstract concepts clearly. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have proven expertise in AP Physics and can adapt their teaching to your learning style and pace.
Problem-solving in AP Physics improves through deliberate practice with varied question types and consistent reflection on your approach. Start by understanding the underlying concepts before jumping to calculations, then practice identifying what information is relevant and which formulas apply. A tutor can model problem-solving strategies, help you recognize patterns across different problems, and give you feedback on your reasoning—not just your final answers.
