Fayad teaches physics alongside calculus and algebra 2, which means when a student gets stuck on a projectile motion or torque problem, he can tell whether the confusion is in the physics or the math — and address the right one. His approach leans heavily on building up from concrete examples, like ...

Frequently Asked Questions
Physics students often struggle with visualizing abstract concepts like forces, motion, and energy—especially when equations feel disconnected from real-world applications. Many students also find unit conversions, free-body diagrams, and the mathematical reasoning behind formulas challenging. Personalized tutoring helps bridge this gap by connecting theory to tangible examples, so concepts like Newton's laws or electromagnetic fields become concrete rather than purely abstract.
During an initial session, a tutor will assess your current understanding of physics concepts, identify specific areas where you're struggling, and learn about your learning style. Whether you need help with kinematics, thermodynamics, or test prep for the Regents exam, the tutor will create a personalized plan tailored to your goals and pace. This foundation ensures every session builds on your strengths and directly addresses your weaknesses.
Yes. Tutors work with Staten Island students to master the core concepts tested on the Regents Physics exam, from mechanics and energy to waves and modern physics. They help you develop strong problem-solving strategies, practice with past exam questions, and build confidence in both conceptual understanding and mathematical application. This targeted preparation significantly improves performance on test day.
Physics tutoring goes beyond equations—tutors help you understand the scientific method, design experiments, analyze data, and interpret results. Whether you're learning about motion, forces, or circuits, personalized instruction clarifies what you're observing in the lab and why it matters theoretically. This deeper understanding makes lab reports stronger and builds genuine scientific thinking skills.
Many physics challenges stem from gaps in algebra, trigonometry, or unit conversions rather than physics concepts themselves. Tutors can address these foundational skills while teaching physics, ensuring you're not blocked by math. This integrated approach means you'll build confidence in both subjects and see immediate improvement in your ability to solve physics problems.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong backgrounds in physics—including those with degrees in physics, engineering, science education, or related fields. Many have classroom teaching experience or advanced certifications. When you connect with a tutor, you'll know their qualifications and can ensure they're the right fit for your specific physics needs.
Physics tutoring rates vary based on the tutor's experience, your location in Staten Island, and the type of support you need (homework help, test prep, or ongoing instruction). Varsity Tutors offers flexible options to fit different budgets. Contact us to discuss your needs and get matched with tutors whose rates work for you.
Real physics learning means understanding *why* formulas work, not just plugging numbers in. Tutors help you develop this conceptual foundation by connecting equations to real-world scenarios, working through problems step-by-step, and asking questions that deepen your reasoning. With personalized instruction focused on understanding over memorization, physics becomes logical and intuitive rather than a collection of rules to remember.
