Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.
I am planning on entering medical school at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in the fall. Throughout high school and college, I have fallen in love with tutoring and seeing so many new faces in the process. I especially love to tutor in math, chemistry, MCAT, and chemical engineering topics, and have experience tutoring students of all ages - from elementary school to fellow college students. When I am not tutoring or in school, I am an avid lifter and love to bake with friends!
I am a Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology graduate and currently attend Vanderbilt University majoring in Computer Engineering with a minor in Business. I've tutored in various subjects for about 6 years now. I've done it so much, one of the companies I started was tutoring-based. In all, I am a technology-oriented entrepreneur, an impact-driven member of the community, and a striving academic. My passion for computer engineering and dedication to solving the world's problems push me to continue to be better tomorrow than I am today. I am currently pursuing a career in engineering and business where I hope to improve the lives of those around me every step of the way.
I am passionate about both. I have been a teaching assistant, tutor, researcher, guest lecturer, researcher, and am currently a practicing engineer.
I am eager to help students wrestle with and master concepts in their math and physics classes. I have extensive experience tutoring students in both math and physics at the high school and college level in one on one and larger group settings. During my PhD I was awarded a teaching fellowship which allowed me to continue teaching while I continued to perform research and carry out my dissertation work.
I am currently a senior at Johns Hopkins studying Biomedical Engineering. I have a lot of experience tutoring in math, physics, chemistry, and thermodynamics. I have also proof-read essays for college applications and english classes as well. Outside of school I like to cook, play basketball, and listen to music.
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 one of many Varsity Tutors. I attended Jesuit High School in Carmichael, CA where I graduated with a 4.3 GPA taking multiple AP and honors courses (AP Bio, Chem, Physics B, Gov, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, English Lit, and English Lang). I also participated in several tutoring organizations throughout high school.
I am a Brown University graduate with an Sc. B. in Neuroscience and an A.B. in Economics. Although I tutor a range of different subjects, I enjoy tutoring Physics and Math the most. I am passionate about tutoring because I like guiding my students and helping them see problems in a much less complicated way. I have 5+ years of experience teaching and tutoring students of all levels from elementary school to college. Over the past years, I have loved seeing the same students who had difficulty in the subjects become masters in them under my assistance when I taught them simpler approaches. Looking forward to working with you :)
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 a May 2012 graduate of Princeton University with a degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering currently working in Midtown Manhattan as a consultant. In the past I have had a variety of opportunities to tutor - from one on one tutoring for the SAT in high school and peer tutoring in college, to online tutoring students in Korea and and teaching a two month English seminar in Brazil. Although I have a variety of academic interests, my educational emphasis in math and sciences has led me doing the majority of my tutoring in these subjects. I have worked with students of all ages, learning styles, and strengths, and I love the opportunity to shape a learning experience together!
I am a graduate of Rice University with a Bachelor of Science in Physics, a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy, and a minor in Neuroscience. My previous tutoring experiences have primarily focused on college level physics, math, and chemistry; AP Calculus, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry; the ACT and SAT college entrance exams; general mathematics at the high school level; and middle school level math and english for state standardized testing. Additionally, I have experience working with students with learning differences including dyslexia, ADHD, and ASD. As someone who loves learning, I am a firm believer in making our meetings enjoyable as well as educational. STEM subjects in particular have the reputation for being boring and complicated, but I love that as a tutor I can help students make sense of the topics and find the fun!
I am currently a Harvard student majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Applied Mathematics. I graduated Class Valedictorian in high school and was named National Merit Finalist. I took 16 AP classes in high school, including AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Computer Science A, AP Physics C : Mechanics and AP Physics 1, with a score of 5 in all of the tests. I scored a 1570/1600 in my SAT and 800 in the SAT Math Level 2 Subject Test and 790 in the SAT Physics Subject Test.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Physics covers mechanics, thermodynamics, waves, electricity and magnetism, modern physics, and optional topics like fluids or astronomy. Each unit builds on fundamental problem-solving skills, and many students struggle with the transition from conceptual understanding to applying physics principles to complex scenarios. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you identify gaps in foundational concepts early and develop the mathematical reasoning needed to tackle multi-step problems confidently.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students who work with tutors typically see gains of 1-3 points on the AP scale (out of 5). The biggest improvements come from targeted practice on your weakest topics, learning efficient problem-solving strategies, and building familiarity with the AP exam format. Working with a tutor helps you focus study time on high-impact areas rather than reviewing material you already understand.
Students often struggle with free-body diagrams, kinematics equations, energy conservation, and circuit analysis—topics that require both conceptual understanding and mathematical precision. Another major challenge is pacing: the AP Physics exam requires solving problems quickly and accurately under time pressure, which many students haven't practiced. Tutors help you build these skills systematically by breaking complex problems into manageable steps and teaching you to recognize problem patterns that appear repeatedly on the exam.
Successful AP Physics test-takers use strategic approaches like reading all multiple-choice options before answering, drawing diagrams for every problem, and managing time by tackling easier questions first. On the free-response section, showing your work is critical—partial credit can earn you significant points even if your final answer is wrong. Tutors teach you these strategies through practice exams and timed problem sets, so you develop habits that stick during the actual test.
Practice tests are essential for AP Physics success—they help you identify weak topics, build test stamina, and get comfortable with the exam format and timing. Most students benefit from taking full-length practice exams under timed conditions every 2-3 weeks starting 2-3 months before the test. A tutor can review your practice test results with you to pinpoint exactly where you're losing points, whether it's conceptual misunderstandings, calculation errors, or time management issues.
Ideally, students benefit most from starting tutoring in the fall or early winter before the May exam, giving you 4-6 months to build foundational skills and practice problem-solving. Meeting once or twice weekly is typical, though the right frequency depends on your current level and goals. If you're starting closer to test day, more frequent sessions (2-3 times per week) can help you make rapid progress on high-priority topics.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in AP Physics and understand the specific challenges students face on the exam. You can get matched with a tutor who fits your schedule and learning style, whether you prefer working through challenging problem sets, reviewing practice exams, or diving deep into conceptual topics. The matching process takes into account your current level, timeline, and goals so you start working with someone who can help you succeed.
Physics anxiety is common and often stems from feeling unprepared or not understanding how to approach problems systematically. Working with a tutor builds confidence by breaking down intimidating topics into smaller, manageable pieces and giving you repeated opportunities to practice in a low-pressure environment. As you solve more problems successfully and see your understanding deepen, test anxiety naturally decreases—you're not just memorizing formulas; you're genuinely understanding the concepts.
