Pranav
Certified College Physics Tutor
Pranav
BA Johns Hopkins University
8+ Years Tutoring

College-level physics demands more than plug-and-chug — problems in electrodynamics, rotational mechanics, or thermodynamics often require combining multiple principles in a single solution. Pranav digs into these multi-step problems as a Biomedical Engineering student at Johns Hopkins, where physics underpins much of his coursework. He walks through derivations and problem-solving strategies that build real fluency with the material rather than surface-level familiarity.

Jared
PhD Lehigh University • BA Bucknell University
10+ Years Tutoring

Thermodynamics and biomechanics aren't just chapters in a textbook for Jared — they're the core of his mechanical engineering PhD research and his biomedical engineering undergrad training, which means he's spent years applying Newton's laws, energy methods, and fluid principles to real systems under real constraints. He breaks down calculus-based physics problems by connecting the math to the physical situation first, so students learn to reason through force diagrams and conservation laws instead of hunting for the right formula.
