Michael
Certified College Physics Tutor
Michael
BA Rice University • Doctor of Philosophy, Physics University of Michigan
7+ Years Tutoring

Four years teaching undergraduate physics labs at the University of Michigan — especially courses designed for non-STEM majors — taught Michael how to strip intimidating topics like electromagnetism, circuits, and wave optics down to their physical intuition before layering the math back on. His PhD research deepened that fluency across the full spectrum of college physics, from introductory mechanics through advanced electrodynamics and special relativity. Rated 4.7 by students.

Andrew
BA Yale University
6+ Years Tutoring

Studying mechanical engineering at Yale means Andrew's daily coursework runs on calculus-based physics — statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics — so the concepts in a college physics sequence are ones he's actively applying, not distantly remembering. He breaks down force and energy problems by starting with the physical setup and constraints before touching an equation, a habit drilled into him by engineering design courses where skipping that step means your bridge collapses. His 1550 SAT reflects the quantitative precision he brings to problem solving.

Pratik
BA Cornell University
8+ Years Tutoring

As a premed at Cornell, Pratik takes the same calculus-based physics sequence his students are grinding through — mechanics, waves, thermodynamics, E&M — which means he knows exactly which problem types show up on exams and where the conceptual gaps tend to hide. He breaks down force diagrams and energy conservation problems step by step, connecting the math to the physical intuition that makes solutions click rather than feel like formula hunts. His 35 ACT reflects the kind of sharp quantitative reasoning that translates directly to tackling multi-concept physics problems.

Lane
BA Mcgill University
10+ Years Tutoring

Every problem in calculus-based physics starts with the same question: what are the forces, and how do they interact? Lane's mechanical engineering degree means he spent years answering that question across statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and material behavior — not as textbook exercises but as design constraints for systems that actually need to work. He breaks down free-body diagrams and energy methods with the practicality of someone who's had to get the physics right before anything gets built.

I am a learner for life and I love sharing my knowledge with others. I have tutored middle-school students for one year and university students for two years. My focus is mainly on mathematics, chemistry, and related fields. I have degrees in both mathematics and biomedical engineering so I cover a lot of ground in the physiological sciences, computer programming, and statistics as well. Taking tests is one of my strong points and I have some killer strategies to share!

Matthew
BA University of Notre Dame
3+ Years Tutoring

Between a math degree and hands-on tutoring experience in college physics, Matthew tackles the subject from both sides — he knows the calculus cold and he knows where students actually get stuck applying it to force diagrams, projectile motion, and conservation laws. He breaks problems into clear steps, starting with the physical setup before any numbers appear, so students learn to think through scenarios rather than hunt for formulas. Rated 4.9 by students.

Pareesa
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
4+ Years Tutoring

Being a final-year medical student who also tutors math through calculus gives Pareesa an unusual angle on college physics — she regularly encounters mechanics and fluid dynamics in clinical contexts (blood pressure as hydrostatics, lung ventilation as gas laws) and can translate those connections back into the problem-solving framework introductory courses demand. Her 5.0 rating suggests that bridging physics concepts to something concrete and memorable actually clicks for students.

Macklin
BA University of British Columbia
8+ Years Tutoring

Medical school demands a working fluency in physics — from fluid dynamics in the cardiovascular system to optics in clinical imaging — and Macklin applies that perspective to college-level topics like electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and wave mechanics. He unpacks derivations so students understand where formulas come from, not just when to use them. His 5.0 rating speaks to that approach.

6+ Years Tutoring

A Doctor of Engineering in Materials Science means Vazrik has spent years applying force analysis, wave behavior, and thermodynamic principles to understand how real materials deform, conduct heat, and respond to stress — which is essentially college physics with consequences. He grounds problem-solving in those tangible engineering contexts, so concepts like stress-strain relationships or heat transfer equations carry physical meaning rather than staying abstract. Rated 4.7 by students.

Ozair
BA University of Windsor
3+ Years Tutoring

Studying physics and mathematics at the University of Windsor meant Ozair spent years working through the full sequence of calculus-based mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics — not as service courses for another major, but as the core of his degree. That depth shows when he breaks down problems involving torque, Gauss's law, or wave superposition, because he can trace each concept back to the underlying math and explain where the formulas actually come from.

Adam
MS Eastern Michigan University • BA Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
7+ Years Tutoring

Biomedical engineering forced Adam to internalize physics from the body up — fluid dynamics in blood flow, stress-strain relationships in tissue, electrical signals in neural circuits — which gives him a concrete anchor for the abstract equations that fill college physics problem sets. His master's work in CAD and design kept him deep in applied mechanics and material behavior, so he can walk through force analyses and energy problems with the fluency of someone who's actually modeled these systems.
