BA University of New Mexico-Main Campus
5+ Years Tutoring

I am still attending the University of New Mexico to get a Bachelor of Science in Physics. My hopes are that I can get into a good graduate program for Physics or Astrophysics so that I can become a professor. I tutor Physics, Chemistry, Geometry, Algebra, and Calculus. My favorite subjects to tutor are Physics, and Geometry. Physics and geometry are my favorite subjects to tutor since I am very passionate about physics and believe it can be taught at every level of education. Why geometry is a favorite might have seemed weird at first, but Einstein himself believed geometry is a branch of physics not math. This is why physics is for all ages. I focus on improving the students understanding of the subject. Then I focus on teaching them what critical, creative, and/or logical thinking they need to apply to the subject. For example I will start by ensuring the student has a vivid understanding of how gravity and acceleration are related before teaching them how a pendulum works or how to solve for the path of a rocket. I believe that by knowing how to critically think for a subject allows you to apply what you have learned for life, this also makes studying for finals much easier in the future. Outside of school I enjoy listening to music, working with computers in general and learning other languages. I enjoy improving who I am by meditating, reading, and exercising every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

AP Physics courses (Physics 1 and Physics 2) cover mechanics, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics through inquiry-based learning. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you work through challenging concepts like Newton's laws, circular motion, and electromagnetism at your own pace, filling gaps that might be missed in a classroom setting where the average student-teacher ratio in Albuquerque is 16.9:1.

Effective AP Physics preparation combines understanding core concepts with consistent practice on multiple-choice and free-response questions. Tutors can help you develop a study schedule that includes regular practice tests, review of past exam questions, and targeted work on your weakest topics—whether that's problem-solving strategies, equation application, or conceptual reasoning.

Many students struggle with the transition from memorizing formulas to understanding when and how to apply them, especially in multi-step problems involving forces, energy, or circuits. Time management during the exam is another frequent challenge—students often spend too long on difficult problems and rush through easier ones. Personalized tutoring helps you practice problem-solving strategies, improve pacing, and build confidence in identifying which concepts apply to each question type.

Your first session typically starts with an assessment of your current understanding—what concepts feel solid and where you're struggling most. The tutor will then tailor a plan based on your goals, whether you're aiming to strengthen fundamentals, tackle specific units, or prepare for the AP exam. This personalized approach ensures you're not spending time on material you already know.

Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about whether you truly understand the material or can apply it under pressure. Working through practice problems and full-length practice tests with a tutor builds familiarity with the exam format and question types, reducing anxiety. Regular feedback and seeing your own progress helps build the confidence you need to approach exam day with a clear strategy rather than panic.

Look for tutors with strong backgrounds in physics—ideally with experience teaching or tutoring AP-level content. They should understand both the conceptual framework and the exam format, and be able to explain complex ideas clearly. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Albuquerque who have proven experience helping students succeed on the AP Physics exam.

Ideally, start tutoring early in the school year to build a strong foundation and avoid cramming before the May exam. If you're already in the spring semester, even a few months of focused tutoring can help you review key concepts, practice problem-solving, and work through practice tests. The earlier you start, the more time you have to address weak areas and build mastery.

Practice tests are essential—they help you identify weak topics, get comfortable with the exam format and timing, and build test-taking stamina. Working through full-length practice tests under timed conditions shows you exactly where you lose points and why. A tutor can help you review your practice test results, identify patterns in your mistakes, and develop strategies to avoid them on exam day.
