Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.
I am passionate about helping students, because the young generation is the future of our society. With the correct learn method and effective help, everybody can achieve the goal they set for themselves.
I'm a junior at Yale University pursuing a double major in Linguistics and Theater. I have experience tutoring in a variety of subjects, but I'm particularly excited to help students with writing, critical reading, and SAT or ACT preparation. I had a strong support network of teachers and mentors throughout middle and high school, so I understand firsthand the importance of thoughtful, individualized educational enrichment. I seek to meet each student where they are in order to help them reach their greatest potential! When I'm not tutoring, you might find me performing improv comedy, playing saxophone, or trying to write the next great American musical.
I am currently a student at Brown University seeking a degree in molecular biophysics. I love studying physics and its many applications in the realms of the life sciences. I have a strange penchant for ultimate frisbee and anything that involves golf (mini golf, frisbee golf, actual golf, etc.). One can often find me at Clark Park or Walnut Greens trying to shoot for par or die trying.
I am passionate about both. I have been a teaching assistant, tutor, researcher, guest lecturer, researcher, and am currently a practicing engineer.
I'm Dennis. I study physics, math, and computer science. I have done research about cosmic ray acceleration at supernova shock fronts in the Princeton University Department of Astrophysics, simulating how the turbulent plasmas push protons and ions. I have also worked at the Norfolk State University Department of Engineering, designing, simulating, optimizing, and building light filters for wavelength-division optical-electronic multiplexers. Another field I study is the mathematics of quasicrystals and aperiodic tilings, such as the Penrose tiling of rhombuses.
I'm currently a freshman at Rice University studying applied math. I've always had a love for sharing knowledge with others, and I started tutoring when I was a junior in high school. As a former AP student and a National AP Scholar, I have the experience necessary to guide my students through challenging curriculum. Though I specialize in tutoring mathematics and physics, I am experienced with and am happy to tutor a broad range of subjects.
I am a sophomore at Washington University in St. Louis studying business. I am majoring in Economics and Strategy and Organization and Strategic Management with a minor in Psychology. I have tutored students in all grade levels. Most recently, I have volunteered at the Biome School in St. Louis tutoring elementary school students. My subject strong suits are ACT and SAT test prep and math. In my free time, I like to ski, play board games and watch sports.
I am a student at Cornell University pursuing a double major in Biological Sciences, concentrating in computational biology, and Computer Science. I have tutored math, biology, physics, and French to middle school and high school students. I have also facilitated group discussion sessions for English language learners. I love learning new things and helping others understand these concepts as well.
I am a rising senior at Duke University. I major in Computer Science and am also getting a minor in Physics. I have had experience tutoring/teaching as a teaching assistant for three classes: Intro to Databases, Electricity and Magnetism (for engineers), and Computer Network Architecture. I have had industry experience in software development as an intern for IBM and a cybersecurity analyst for TIAA. Outside of school/work, I play the piano and train with the Duke Taekwondo Club. I have a strong background in computer science, physics, and math, but I love learning about and helping students with a wide variety of subjects!
I am still involved in peer tutoring among my friends and classmates.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I'm a senior undergraduate at Yale University studying biomedical engineering and will be starting my Ph.D next year. I was born and raised in Philadelphia and have travelled to a few other countries through study abroad programs and international conferences. I've been to China several times and love to practice my Chinese with others!

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Physics covers mechanics, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics—a broad range of topics that build on each other. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you focus on the concepts that challenge you most, whether that's kinematics, circular motion, thermodynamics, or electromagnetic induction. A tutor can break down complex topics into digestible pieces and connect them to real-world applications, making abstract concepts stick.
Score improvement depends on your starting point, consistency, and how much time you dedicate to practice. Students who work with tutors typically see meaningful gains by focusing on weak areas, mastering problem-solving strategies, and taking practice tests regularly. Most students benefit from starting tutoring at least 2-3 months before the exam, though earlier preparation gives you more time to build a strong foundation.
Many students struggle with translating word problems into equations, understanding when to apply different formulas, and managing time during the exam. Free-response questions often trip up students who can identify the right concept but struggle to show their work clearly or set up the problem correctly. Tutors help you develop systematic problem-solving approaches and practice explaining your reasoning—skills that directly boost your score.
Practice tests are essential for AP Physics success—they help you identify weak topics, get comfortable with the exam format, and build stamina for the full 3-hour test. The most effective approach is to take full-length practice tests under timed conditions, then review every question you missed or found difficult. A tutor can help you analyze your practice test results to spot patterns in your mistakes and adjust your study plan accordingly.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure about time management. Tutors help you build confidence through repeated practice with authentic exam questions and teach you strategic pacing—like tackling easier problems first and knowing when to skip a tough question and come back to it. Practicing under timed conditions regularly reduces anxiety by making the exam format feel familiar and manageable.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have strong backgrounds in physics and experience preparing students for the AP exam. When you get matched with a tutor, you can discuss your specific goals—whether you're aiming for a 3, 4, or 5—and they'll tailor their approach to your learning style and schedule. Most students benefit from consistent weekly sessions starting several months before the exam.
Mechanics and electricity tend to be the most heavily tested sections, but electricity is often where students struggle most due to its abstract nature and multiple interconnected concepts. Prioritize mastering mechanics first since it builds foundational problem-solving skills, then move to electricity and magnetism. A tutor can help you assess which topics are your personal weak spots and allocate study time strategically based on the exam's question distribution.
Your first session is typically a diagnostic and planning meeting—your tutor will assess your current understanding, identify your strengths and gaps, and learn about your AP Physics goals and timeline. You'll discuss which topics need the most work, review your course materials, and establish a study plan tailored to your needs. From there, you'll dive into focused instruction on specific concepts, problem-solving strategies, and practice questions in future sessions.
