I am a freshman Computer Science major enrolled in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University. I have a passion for teaching students, and I am experienced with having to give one-on-one guidance in teaching many concepts. Tutoring is very rewarding for me because I am driven to help others and give whatever knowledge I have gained over the years in every field. I also have experience dealing with situations in which students are not quickly or readily grasping concepts, and I have developed the patience to handle these situations. Teaching is just as rewarding for the student as it is for me, because I am thrilled when I see others achieve, and I would love to be part of the process. In addition to high school AP courses and test prep, I have taken college level multivariable calculus, linear algebra, physics electricity/magnetism and mechanics, computer programming (c++, matlab, LISP/Scheme), Dynamics of Systems, and Mechanics of Systems.

I am Cassie Bishop, and for seven years, I have been dedicated to helping students of different age groups (from middle school to college) in mostly math and science. As someone driven to become a professor, I love to teach and have a great passion for sharing my knowledge with others! I am most passionate about math and hard sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics and have most experience tutoring middle school, high school, and college students. My mission is to develop students' problem-solving skills so that they can get to the answers on their own to not only improve their homework scores but also help on quizzes and tests through better knowledge of the material. I hope to be able to help you with all of your tutoring needs and to promote student success!
I am comfortable with a wide variety of subjects including Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Statistics, Biology, Anatomy, Chemistry, Physics, and Spanish.
I am a great tutor because not only are my fundamental verbal and quantitative skills strong, but I am able to communicate my reasoning and problem solving skills quickly and clearly.
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.
I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University, majoring in Physics and Classics and minoring in Mathematics and Computer Science. I'm qualified to teach a wide variety of subjects, but prefer to focus on the fields I'm studying in school listed above; I have a passion for those areas that I want to share with everyone, no matter the education level or confidence. I believe that no one is "bad at math," but many people haven't been taught math and science concepts in a way that matches how they best learn. As a result, I try to tailor my teaching style to be the best it can be for each individual student. With regard to math and physics, I myself prefer a physical, graphical understanding of different concepts, so I do best at explaining what seemingly abstract concepts actually mean in the real world and how they act on a graph.
I am planning on entering medical school at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in the fall. Throughout high school and college, I have fallen in love with tutoring and seeing so many new faces in the process. I especially love to tutor in math, chemistry, MCAT, and chemical engineering topics, and have experience tutoring students of all ages - from elementary school to fellow college students. When I am not tutoring or in school, I am an avid lifter and love to bake with friends!
I am currently a senior at Johns Hopkins studying Biomedical Engineering. I have a lot of experience tutoring in math, physics, chemistry, and thermodynamics. I have also proof-read essays for college applications and english classes as well. Outside of school I like to cook, play basketball, and listen to music.
I'm an electrical engineering major at Brown University with interests in neuroscience, linguistics, and robotics, among other things. I've always loved learning, and my curiosity has led me through numerous subject areas. I constantly seek to apply my classroom learning in practical situations. For example, I have conducted research on dementia using electrophysiology in a mollusk model. I participate in hackathons and robotics challenges that test not only my programming ability but also my hardware skills as a tinkerer. My engineering pursuits require a strong foundation in mathematics, my interest in the life sciences calls for a myriad of memorization techniques, and my participation in the academic world at large reminds me daily of the importance of sharp writing skills. I hope to share some of these things, both content and technique, with my students. Though I will make sure that they can come away from each session armed with the skills needed to take on the modern education system, I also hope that they will take with them some appreciation for learning itself.
I am currently a rising junior at Cornell University studying physics. I have worked with students of the elementary, middle, and high school levels in subjects such as math, physics, and even music production! I mainly focus on tutoring math and physics because I believe having a deep understanding of these subjects allows one to think more analytically of the world around us. I also believe in getting to know how a student learns best, as everyone learns differently, and tailoring lessons with that learning method in mind.
I am really passionate about all the subjects that I teach and my goal with tutoring is to inspire my students to feel the same passion. I love tutoring because I love being able to make a positive difference in my students lives.
I'm currently a PhD student in economics at Yale University. I also have a BS in physics and math from Yale. Other subjects I enjoy are history, geography, and philosophy, and I dabble in photography and baking. I enjoy helping people understand tricky concepts and solve challenging problems, academic and otherwise.
I am now a medical student at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
I am a May 2012 graduate of Princeton University with a degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering currently working in Midtown Manhattan as a consultant. In the past I have had a variety of opportunities to tutor - from one on one tutoring for the SAT in high school and peer tutoring in college, to online tutoring students in Korea and and teaching a two month English seminar in Brazil. Although I have a variety of academic interests, my educational emphasis in math and sciences has led me doing the majority of my tutoring in these subjects. I have worked with students of all ages, learning styles, and strengths, and I love the opportunity to shape a learning experience together!
I am still involved in peer tutoring among my friends and classmates.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Physics covers two main courses: AP Physics 1 (algebra-based) and AP Physics 2 (algebra-based continuation), plus AP Physics C (calculus-based). Both include mechanics, waves, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics. The specific topics and depth depend on which AP Physics course you're taking, so it's helpful to clarify your course with a tutor who can tailor preparation to your curriculum and exam format.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with tutoring. Most students see meaningful gains—often 1-2 points on the 1-5 AP scale—when they work with a tutor to identify conceptual gaps and practice problem-solving strategies consistently. The key is addressing specific weak areas early, whether that's understanding force diagrams, energy conservation, or circuit analysis, rather than trying to review everything at once.
Many students struggle with translating word problems into physics concepts, managing the heavy mathematical component, and understanding when to apply different formulas. Pacing is another challenge—the exam moves quickly, and students often feel rushed. Tutors help by breaking down problem-solving into clear steps, building intuition for which concepts apply in different scenarios, and practicing timed sections so you're comfortable with the pace on test day.
Ideally, preparation begins early in the school year so you can build understanding gradually rather than cramming. If you're already mid-year or behind, starting tutoring now is still valuable—tutors can prioritize the highest-impact topics and help you maximize study time. Most students benefit from consistent weekly sessions starting 3-4 months before the exam, with increased frequency in the final month.
Practice tests are essential—they help you identify weak topics, build stamina for the full exam length, and get comfortable with the question format and timing. Tutors typically use official College Board practice materials and full-length timed tests to pinpoint exactly where you're losing points. After each practice test, reviewing mistakes with a tutor is crucial; understanding why you got something wrong matters more than just seeing the correct answer.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Las Vegas who specialize in AP Physics and understand the specific curriculum and exam format. When you get matched with a tutor, you can discuss your current level, which AP Physics course you're taking, and your target score so they can create a personalized study plan. Most tutors offer flexible scheduling to fit around your school and extracurricular commitments.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure about problem-solving strategies. Working with a tutor to build confidence through repeated practice—especially timed practice—significantly reduces anxiety on exam day. Tutors also teach time-management strategies like identifying easier questions first, knowing when to skip and return to a problem, and managing your pacing so you're not rushed at the end.
In your first session, a tutor will assess your current understanding of key AP Physics concepts, discuss which course you're taking, and learn about your goals and timeline. They'll likely work through a few problems with you to identify specific areas where you need support—whether that's conceptual understanding, problem-solving strategy, or test-taking skills. From there, they'll create a personalized plan focused on your biggest gaps and priorities.
