Mark
Certified AP Physics Tutor
Mark
BS Murray State University
5+ Years Tutoring

Mark graduated with a 4.0 in Physics and was consistently pulled ahead into advanced coursework his peers couldn't yet access — the kind of deep comfort with mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics that makes him quick to spot exactly where an AP Physics problem goes sideways for a student. He teaches the reasoning behind each law rather than handing over a formula sheet, connecting concepts like conservation of angular momentum or Gauss's law back to the physical situation so students can handle unfamiliar free-response prompts. His equally strong math background means the calculus in AP Physics C never becomes a separate obstacle.

Dennis
BA Princeton University
9+ Years Tutoring

I'm Dennis. I study physics, math, and computer science. I have done research about cosmic ray acceleration at supernova shock fronts in the Princeton University Department of Astrophysics, simulating how the turbulent plasmas push protons and ions. I have also worked at the Norfolk State University Department of Engineering, designing, simulating, optimizing, and building light filters for wavelength-division optical-electronic multiplexers. Another field I study is the mathematics of quasicrystals and aperiodic tilings, such as the Penrose tiling of rhombuses.

Laura
Current Undergrad, Biology, French Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

William

6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Richard
BA Harvard University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising senior at Harvard College pursuing an AB in Government. Academically, I have diverse interests, including history, language, math, physics, philosophy, music, and politics. In high school, I tutored elementary, middle, and high school students in music, math, ACT and SAT prep, and Spanish.

Jeffrey
BA University of Notre Dame • Doctor of Philosophy, Mechanical Engineering Rice University
6+ Years Tutoring

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.
