Nicholas pairs his computer science background with a deep interest in physics, covering everything from free-body diagrams and kinematics to circuits and wave behavior. He teaches students to translate word problems into equations systematically — identifying knowns, unknowns, and which principle applies — instead of hunting for the right formula to plug into.

Free-body diagrams, kinematics equations, energy conservation — physics demands that students translate word problems into mathematical models, which is often where confusion sets in. Laura breaks that translation process into clear, repeatable steps, drawing on her strong math and science background from Fordham's biology program. Rated 5.0 by students.

Miguel tackles physics by anchoring every problem — whether it involves projectile motion, energy conservation, or electric circuits — in a clear free-body diagram or energy diagram before touching any equations. His business and math background gives him a knack for organizing complex, multi-variable problems into manageable pieces. Students rate him 5.0.

An international economics degree might not seem like a physics pipeline, but Gregory's 1500 SAT and his comfort teaching calculus alongside physics mean the quantitative backbone — unit analysis, algebraic manipulation, graph interpretation — is solid where it counts. He's especially useful for students who understand the concept behind a force or energy problem but get tangled the moment they need to isolate a variable or combine equations.

Jonathan's math degree means the calculus and trigonometry woven through every physics course — resolving force components, integrating velocity functions, deriving energy relationships — never becomes a separate obstacle for his students. He tackles problems by building the physical picture first, then showing how the math follows directly from the setup, so equations like Newton's second law or conservation of energy stop feeling like arbitrary formulas to memorize.

Kinematics equations are easy to memorize but hard to apply when a problem involves projectile motion at an angle or two objects connected by a pulley. Muhammed tackles physics by teaching students to draw the situation, identify every force, and build equations from free-body diagrams rather than hunting for the "right" formula. His PhD research gave him years of practice turning messy real-world scenarios into solvable models.

I am currently enrolled as an applied accounting and finance major at the Fordham Gabelli School of Business where I'm taking business statistics and calculus classes alongside writing and economics classes. In my free time, I watch tons of basketball and football and love action movies.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
