Award-Winning Physics Tutors

Neuroscience at Vanderbilt is surprisingly physics-heavy — Avi's coursework covers electrical signaling in neurons, fluid dynamics in biological systems, and the mechanics underlying sensory perception, all of which reinforce the same force, energy, and wave concepts that show up in introductory physics. That biological angle gives him a way to make abstract problems concrete, connecting a free-body diagram or circuit analysis to something a student can actually picture happening in the real world.

An electrical engineering degree is essentially a physics degree with soldering — Oluwatosin spent years applying Newtonian mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics to real systems. He unpacks problems by teaching students to draw free-body diagrams, identify conservation laws, and translate word problems into equations before touching a calculator. That systematic approach is what moves students from guessing at formulas to actually reasoning through solutions.

Computer science students solve more physics than most people realize — Matthew's coursework runs through vectors, kinematics, and force modeling every time a simulation or game engine needs to behave like the real world. That crossover, plus teaching both calculus and physics, means he can untangle the moments where a student's confusion is actually about the math rather than the physics itself. Rated 4.9 by students.

A computer science degree builds surprisingly strong physics instincts — Oen spent semesters working through the same calculus, linear algebra, and algorithmic problem-solving that underpin kinematics, forces, and energy conservation. He approaches physics problems the way a programmer debugs code: isolating variables, testing assumptions one at a time, and building toward a solution systematically rather than hunting for the right formula.

A biomedical engineering degree from VCU means Waleed didn't just study physics — he applied Newtonian mechanics, wave behavior, and electromagnetism to design problems in materials science and medical devices. He unpacks force diagrams, energy conservation, and kinematics by tying each concept back to something a student can picture happening in the physical world. Rated 5.0 by students.

Applied math at Caltech means Samuel's daily coursework is the calculus and differential equations that power every physics problem — from projectile motion to oscillating springs to electric fields. He teaches students to build the mathematical setup first, identifying which principles apply and why, so that plugging into formulas becomes the easy final step rather than a frantic guessing game.

Between a mechanical engineering bachelor's and a PhD program at Rice, Jeffrey has spent years solving statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics problems that most students only encounter in their first physics course. He taught calculus-based physics at Notre Dame and assisted in Differential Equations and Mechanics, so he knows exactly where students lose the thread — especially when multi-step force and energy problems demand both physical reasoning and clean math. Rated 4.9 by students.

Understanding physics means learning to translate a word problem into a free-body diagram or energy equation — and then trusting the math to get you to the answer. Dennis developed that skill set through years of quantitative research at Vanderbilt, where physical principles underpinned his graduate work in Chemical and Physical Biology. He's patient enough to let students wrestle with a concept before stepping in to clarify.

Bryan holds a B.S. in Physics and teaches the subject the way it's actually practiced — starting from a real situation, identifying the relevant principles, and building a solution step by step. Whether the problem involves conservation of momentum or circuit analysis, he emphasizes drawing clear free-body diagrams and checking units before touching a calculator.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Engineering training changes how you see physics problems — instead of hunting for the right equation, you learn to diagram forces, track energy, and let the math follow the physics. Christine brings that engineering mindset from her biomedical engineering studies at Johns Hopkins, where mechanics and electromagnetism aren't just coursework but tools she applies in lab and design projects.

Serving as a Course Assistant for Harvard's calculus sequence means Sanjana regularly works through the exact derivatives, integrals, and differential equations that underpin every physics topic from kinematics to rotational dynamics — and she teaches AP Physics 1 through AP Physics C: E&M, so she knows where the math starts tripping students up in each course. She breaks problems down by isolating the physical principle first, then building the mathematical solution step by step so nothing feels like a leap. Rated 5.0 by students.
