Award-Winning Physics Tutors
serving St. Louis, MO

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dylan's physics major at Vanderbilt means he's not recalling intro-level material from years ago — he's actively working through classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and modern physics right now, which keeps his explanations current and sharp. His instinct is to ground every abstract concept in a physical, graphical picture: showing what a free-body diagram actually represents, or why a velocity-time graph reveals more about acceleration than a formula ever could. That visual-first approach, backed by a 36 ACT and a math minor, makes the subject click for students who've been drowning in equations without understanding what they mean.

Growing up translating complex ideas for a brother with a learning disability taught Aditi to rebuild explanations from scratch — a skill that pays off when a student can't see why Newton's third law actually produces different accelerations for different masses, or why tension in a rope isn't always the same on both sides. Her CS training at Cornell keeps the math side tight, and she treats each problem like debugging code: isolate what you know, identify what's missing, and work systematically toward the answer.

Engineering students live in physics — Greg's chemical engineering program at Vanderbilt means he's constantly applying Newton's laws, energy conservation, and fluid mechanics to real design problems. He takes that applied perspective into tutoring, connecting force diagrams and kinematics equations to scenarios that make the math feel purposeful rather than abstract.

Benjamin's physics teaching goes beyond plugging values into kinematic equations. He digs into free-body diagrams, energy conservation, and vector decomposition by asking students to predict outcomes before calculating — a habit that builds the physical intuition textbooks often skip. His math fluency from studying economics at UChicago means the quantitative side never becomes a bottleneck.

Free-body diagrams, conservation laws, and circuit analysis all demand a specific way of thinking: translating a physical scenario into math and then interpreting what the math tells you. Zachary's biophysics training required exactly this skill set across mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics, and he breaks complex problems into clear, repeatable steps that build real problem-solving confidence.

Earning a BS in physics from Yale gave Anthony deep comfort with the subject's core challenge: translating a physical scenario into a mathematical model and then interpreting the result. He breaks down force diagrams, energy conservation, and wave behavior by tying each concept back to the underlying math rather than treating equations as formulas to memorize.

A PhD in biomedical engineering built on a bachelor's in physics means Andrew has spent years solving problems across mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics. He teaches physics by emphasizing free-body diagrams, unit analysis, and the habit of translating word problems into mathematical models before reaching for formulas. That systematic approach turns intimidating multi-step problems into manageable sequences.

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.

Nima's physics degree means the subject isn't something adjacent to his training — it's the core of it, from classical mechanics and electromagnetism through thermodynamics and wave theory. He teaches students to build the physical picture first, identifying which laws actually govern a scenario before any algebra starts, so that even multi-step problems feel like a clear sequence rather than guesswork. Rated 4.7 by students.

A mechanical engineering degree from WashU means Caroline didn't just study physics — she applied it daily, from fluid dynamics to stress analysis. She teaches students to set up free-body diagrams and energy conservation problems by connecting the math to physical intuition, making kinematics and Newton's laws click rather than feel like formula hunts.

Studying mechanical engineering at Harvard means Christopher doesn't just remember physics — he's actively building on it every semester, from Newtonian mechanics and thermodynamics to electromagnetism and wave behavior. He breaks down complex problems by teaching students to draw clean free-body diagrams, identify which conservation law applies, and translate word problems into solvable equations. That systematic approach turns intimidating multi-step problems into manageable sequences.

Engineering students use physics every day, and Ava's dual degree in mechanical and energy engineering means she didn't just learn kinematics, Newton's laws, and energy conservation — she applied them to real systems. She TAed physics-related engineering courses at WashU and tutored high school physics students for several years, so she's comfortable adjusting her explanations whether someone is solving their first free-body diagram or wrestling with rotational dynamics.
