serving Kansas City, MO

Samuel teaches AP Physics 2 and high school physics alongside his chemistry courses, which means he's constantly bridging the gap between force diagrams and molecular behavior. He tackles kinematics, energy conservation, and wave mechanics by tying each concept back to observable phenomena students already encounter in lab settings.

I am interested in Physics and Mathematics and working out practical problems from plumbing to electronics. I will someday go back for my Ph.D. in Physics but until then I am looking to grow as an engineer or computer programmer.

Medical school gave Anatoliy a reason to understand physics beyond the textbook — fluid dynamics matters when you're studying blood flow, and electrical circuits map directly onto nerve impulse propagation. He teaches mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism by tying each concept to real systems students can visualize. Rated 4.9 by students.

A biology degree and dental doctorate both demand serious physics fluency — from biomechanics and fluid dynamics to optics and electromagnetic radiation. Katherine breaks down force diagrams, energy conservation, and kinematics problems by tying each concept to something tangible, which makes the math feel purposeful instead of arbitrary.

Engineering school doesn't just teach physics — it demands that you use Newton's laws, energy conservation, and electromagnetism to design things that actually work. Austin brings that applied mindset to physics tutoring, turning free-body diagrams and kinematics problems into exercises in clear, systematic thinking. He emphasizes setting up problems correctly, because once the physics is translated into math, the solving becomes straightforward.

Kinematics, energy conservation, electromagnetism — physics covers enormous ground, and each topic builds on the last. Jordan's engineering training gave him years of applying these principles to real systems, so he explains not just how to solve a projectile motion problem but why the math describes what actually happens.

Kathleen's math background at Washington University gives her a natural advantage when teaching physics — she treats kinematics equations, force diagrams, and energy conservation as applied math problems rather than disconnected formulas. She digs into the specific step where a student gets stuck, whether that's setting up a free-body diagram or knowing when to apply Newton's second law versus conservation of momentum.

Free-body diagrams, kinematics equations, energy conservation — Jacob uses all of these regularly in his chemistry and physical chemistry work, so he teaches physics with the fluency of someone who applies it, not just studies it. He's especially effective at walking students through multi-step problems where identifying the right principle matters more than plugging into a formula.

I am excited to help anyone who might need it!

Five years of tutoring undergraduate physics gave Mayuri a sharp sense of where conceptual misunderstandings hide — the student who can solve a momentum equation but can't explain why the ball bounces the way it does. She digs into mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and waves with an emphasis on building physical intuition alongside mathematical rigor. Her PhD research deepened her ability to unpack even the trickiest derivations.

Kinematics equations and free-body diagrams only make sense when a student understands what they're actually describing — and that translation from physical situation to mathematical model is where most physics students get stuck. Megan's dual strength in math and science instruction lets her tackle both the conceptual reasoning and the algebra simultaneously, so neither becomes a bottleneck.

Sean's computational biology work at Columbia requires constant translation between physical systems and mathematical models — exactly the skill that separates students who understand physics from those who just memorize formulas. He tackles mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics by teaching students to diagram a problem and identify which principles apply before reaching for an equation.

Kinematics equations and free-body diagrams are just the beginning — physics gets genuinely hard when students hit rotational dynamics, electromagnetism, or wave interference. Samantha's computer science PhD gave her deep fluency with the mathematical modeling that underpins these topics, and she teaches students to translate word problems into equations systematically rather than guessing which formula to grab.

Karl studied physics at Iowa State University, where he built deep familiarity with mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics — the core areas that trip up most physics students. He breaks complex problems into free-body diagrams and energy conservation arguments so the logic behind each solution becomes clear, not just the final answer.

A physics degree gives Matthew the mathematical backbone to teach everything from Newtonian mechanics and rotational dynamics to electromagnetism and wave optics. Rather than handing students formulas to memorize, he traces each equation back to the physical situation it describes — so a free-body diagram or a circuit schematic becomes something students can read intuitively, not just label.

A Stanford computer science and political science student, Margaret went through the Project Lead the Way STEM magnet program, where physics wasn't just a class but a daily toolkit for engineering challenges. She teaches kinematics, force diagrams, and energy conservation by tying each concept to tangible scenarios that make the math feel purposeful.

JF's dual training in mathematics and computer science at Stanford means the calculus and vector algebra that bog down most physics students are second nature — freeing up mental bandwidth to actually think about what's happening physically in a problem. He tackles everything from AP Physics 1 mechanics to AP Physics 2 electromagnetism, and he's particularly effective at teaching students to build equations from diagrams rather than hunting for the right formula to plug into. Rated 5.0 by students.

Three science degrees from Yale — including one in chemistry — mean Zosia has worked through mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism problems repeatedly across disciplines, building the kind of cross-subject fluency that makes her especially clear on where physics concepts connect to the math underneath. She digs into the specific step where a student's reasoning breaks down, whether that's setting up Newton's second law for a pulley system or tracking signs through a conservation-of-energy equation. Rated 4.9 by students.

Kinematics equations and free-body diagrams become far less intimidating once a student learns to read each problem as a physical story rather than a math puzzle. Garrett breaks problems into setup, diagram, and solve phases, teaching students a repeatable framework they can apply from Newton's laws through electromagnetism. His science and math background lets him bridge the conceptual reasoning and the calculations seamlessly.

Most physics struggles come down to one thing: not knowing how to start a problem. Phillip teaches a systematic approach — draw the diagram, identify the forces, pick the right coordinate system — that turns intimidating multi-step problems into a sequence of smaller, solvable ones. He's taken physics through the college level as part of his biomedical engineering degree at Brown and knows exactly where conceptual gaps tend to hide.

Bidyut's dual focus in biomedical engineering and computer science at Johns Hopkins means physics isn't something he studied once — it's embedded in his daily coursework, from mechanics to electromagnetism to fluid dynamics. He teaches students to translate word problems into free-body diagrams and equations systematically, rather than guessing which formula to use. That structured approach, combined with his 5.0 client rating, makes him especially effective for students who feel lost in problem-solving.

As a Yale physics major who also teaches thermodynamics, special relativity, and statics and dynamics, Ian has worked through the full arc from introductory mechanics to upper-division theory — so he knows exactly where each concept builds on the last and where students tend to lose the thread. He's particularly sharp at finding the analogy or reframing that makes a stubborn idea finally click, whether that's torque, wave superposition, or conservation laws in multi-body systems. His 1550 SAT speaks to the quantitative precision he brings to every problem.

A Harvard graduate with high honors in the History of Science, Erica understands physics not just as equations but as ideas that evolved over centuries — from Newtonian mechanics to electromagnetism. She teaches students to set up free-body diagrams and energy conservation problems by first clarifying what physical situation the math is actually describing. That conceptual-first approach, rated 4.9 by students, makes problem-solving far less mechanical.

Neuroscience sits at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and physics — Anna's degree required her to work through mechanics, electricity, and wave behavior in contexts like neural signal propagation and membrane potential dynamics, keeping the core physics sharp and grounded in real systems. She breaks down multi-step problems by connecting the underlying physical principles to tangible examples, so equations feel like descriptions of something real rather than abstract formulas to memorize. Rated 5.0 by students.

Benjamin's finance and economics training at Notre Dame runs on the same quantitative backbone that physics demands — modeling systems, isolating variables, and reasoning through multi-step problems where one misstep cascades. He brings a toolkit of computation shortcuts and pattern-recognition tricks to kinematics and energy problems that make the math faster and less error-prone. Holds a 5.0 rating from students.

Engineering students see physics differently than most tutors do — every force diagram, energy conservation problem, and wave equation is a tool they actually use. Ellie's biomedical engineering program at Yale means she tackles mechanics, electricity, and thermodynamics regularly in applied contexts. She unpacks the math behind each physics concept so students understand the equations instead of just memorizing them.
