Between earning a mechanical engineering bachelor's and pursuing his master's, Aaron has taken calculus-based physics from every angle — statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics — and now applies those principles daily in graduate-level research and coursework. He breaks down problems by teaching students to sketch the physical situation first, identify constraints, and only then select the right conservation law or force equation. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Biomedical engineering at Duke means Eric solves physics problems daily — modeling forces on prosthetic joints, analyzing fluid flow through artificial vessels, calculating electrical signals in biosensors — so the mechanics and electromagnetism in a college physics course map directly onto work he's already doing. He breaks multi-step problems into their physical components first, making sure the reasoning is solid before any math hits the page. Holds a 5.0 rating.
Serving as a TA for Duke's Electricity and Magnetism course means Florence has graded the exact types of problems — Gauss's law applications, RC circuits, Faraday's law scenarios — that make college physics students sweat, and she knows precisely where the reasoning breaks down. Her computer science background also gives her a knack for teaching the systematic, step-by-step problem decomposition that turns a wall of physics into something solvable. Holds a 5.0 rating.
Neuroscience gave Julie a deep working knowledge of the physics that governs biological systems — membrane capacitance, electrical potentials across ion channels, fluid dynamics in neural vasculature — so she brings a concrete, applied lens to college physics topics that other tutors treat purely abstractly. Her strong quantitative background (1480 SAT, dual B.S. in Neuroscience) means she's comfortable walking through the calculus-based derivations in mechanics and E&M without losing sight of what the physics actually describes. Rated 5.0 by students.
Circuit theory, power systems, and electronics — Prakash didn't just study these as textbook topics but taught them as a university instructor and TA, walking undergrad students through the exact calculus-based physics (Kirchhoff's laws, AC/DC analysis, electromagnetic induction) that makes college physics courses demanding. His industry experience as a practicing electrical engineer means he can ground abstract force and field problems in real systems, showing students how equations translate into physical behavior. Rated 4.8 by students.
Dance training might seem unrelated to physics, but Alisha's choreography work at VCU demands constant intuitive reasoning about momentum, rotational inertia, and force vectors — she literally feels what happens when a dancer's center of mass shifts mid-leap. She pairs that kinesthetic understanding with strong quantitative skills (a 34 ACT backs this up) to walk students through the mechanics and energy problems that dominate introductory college physics, translating abstract equations into something physically real.
A PhD in bioengineering from Georgia Tech means Jordan has spent years applying physics to biological systems — modeling fluid flow through tissues, analyzing mechanical forces on implants, solving heat transfer problems in living systems. That engineering depth makes the leap from textbook concepts like kinematics and thermodynamics to actual problem-solving feel natural, because Jordan has done it professionally. Rated 5.0 by students.
Studying physics at NC State while minoring in both computer science and mathematics means Gatlin is actively sitting in the same lecture halls and grinding through the same problem sets his students are — from projectile motion and torque to circuits and wave optics. That real-time immersion keeps him sharp on exactly which derivations and conceptual leaps cause the most confusion in introductory and intermediate courses. Rated 4.8 by students.
Engineering coursework at NC State put Catrina through the full gauntlet of university-level physics, from electromagnetism and thermodynamics to fluid mechanics. She tackles college physics by walking through the conceptual reasoning behind each derivation so that students can set up novel problems confidently, not just replicate worked examples from lecture.
During her astrophysics program, Paige was a peer learning assistant for a college physics course designed for non-majors — an experience that taught her to explain electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and rotational dynamics without assuming a deep math background. She now applies that same clarity to college-level mechanics, waves, and modern physics. Students consistently rate her 5.0 for making dense material approachable.
Danielle teaches across both physics and economics, which means she's comfortable with the kind of quantitative modeling — setting up equations, interpreting graphs, tracking how variables interact — that college physics problem sets demand. She zeroes in on the problem-setup phase, getting students to sketch force diagrams and identify constraints before jumping to formulas, especially in mechanics topics where a rushed start usually means a wrong answer.
That moment in college physics where a problem suddenly requires combining free-body diagrams with energy methods and kinematics all at once — David knows exactly where students stall, because his physics degree means he's worked through those multi-concept collisions from both the theoretical and problem-solving sides. He breaks down the transition from plug-and-chug high school problems to the layered reasoning college courses demand, especially in mechanics where students need to choose between Newton's laws and Lagrangian-style thinking on the fly.
I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Science in Physics. I work with students in a variety of subjects, including Math, Physics, and Chemistry. I have experience working with students on the Autism spectrum and with ADHD.
Kathleen's neuroscience background means she's already internalized the physics that governs biological systems — action potentials as RC circuits, diffusion as a thermodynamic process, imaging technologies built on wave mechanics and electromagnetic principles. She pairs that applied knowledge with serious math chops (her subject list runs from pre-algebra through multivariable calculus and biostatistics), so she can walk through both the conceptual reasoning and the calculus-heavy problem solving that college physics demands. Rated 4.9 by students.
Every problem set in calculus-based physics eventually comes down to translating a physical scenario into math — and as an electrical and computer engineering major, Artem does that translation daily across circuits, fields, and signal analysis. He breaks problems into their physical components first, teaching students to identify whether they're dealing with a conservation law, a force balance, or a field interaction before touching an equation. Rated 5.0 by students.
Currently studying at UNC Chapel Hill with AP Physics 1 and calculus in his teaching repertoire, Jeffrey tackles college physics problems by grounding them in the math fundamentals that make force diagrams, projectile motion, and energy conservation actually solvable. His 33 ACT reflects strong quantitative reasoning, and he breaks down multi-step mechanics problems into manageable pieces — isolating variables, checking units, and building intuition for when an answer makes physical sense.
Civil engineering coursework at Clemson put Matthew through the full sequence of calculus-based physics — statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, structural loading — and his professional engineering experience means he's applied those principles to real designs, not just homework sets. He breaks down free-body diagrams and equilibrium problems with the practicality of someone who's had to get them right on actual projects. Rated 5.0 by students.
Preparing for medical school means Bria is actively working through the physics that underpins the MCAT — mechanics, optics, fluids, and electrostatics — so she knows which concepts feel deceptively simple until you hit a multi-step problem. Her Yale psychology background also gives her a sharp read on how students actually learn under pressure, which she channels into breaking down force diagrams and energy calculations step by step. Rated 5.0 by students.
Studying chemistry means Amanda spends most of her time inside the physics that chemistry depends on — thermodynamics governing reaction spontaneity, electrostatics driving molecular interactions, and wave mechanics underlying spectroscopy. She brings that cross-disciplinary fluency to college physics problem sets, especially when students need to connect the math (she scored a 33 ACT) to the physical intuition behind concepts like energy conservation and force analysis.
Working at an ExxonMobil refinery before MIT Sloan meant Caroline spent years applying thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and force analysis to real industrial systems — the same physics that fills college problem sets, except with actual consequences for getting the math wrong. Her mechanical engineering M.S. from WashU (magna cum laude) gave her deep fluency with calculus-based derivations, so she can walk through everything from torque problems to heat transfer without skipping the steps that textbooks gloss over. Rated 5.0 by students.
Pursuing an MD at Stanford after a double major in economics and molecular/cellular biology, Maggie brings a pre-med perspective to college physics that makes topics like optics, fluid dynamics, and wave mechanics feel immediately relevant rather than abstract. She's especially sharp at teaching students to set up problems cleanly — translating a physical scenario into the right free-body diagram or energy equation before doing any math. Rated 5.0 by students.
Chemical engineering at Georgia Tech means Aimee's spent years solving problems that blend thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and energy balances — the same physics concepts that make college-level courses demanding, except she's applied them to reactor design and process optimization. Her biosystems engineering graduate work adds another layer, connecting classical mechanics and heat transfer to biological systems in ways that make abstract problem sets feel more concrete. Rated 4.9 by students.
Environmental engineering is essentially physics with consequences — Kate's master's work required her to model fluid flow, heat transfer, and pressure systems in real infrastructure, which means she's solved the same types of problems that show up on college physics exams but with actual design constraints attached. That applied perspective makes her particularly effective at teaching students to set up force balances and energy equations from a physical scenario rather than reverse-engineering from a formula sheet. Rated 4.9 by students.
College-level physics demands comfort with calculus-based problem solving, and Aaron brings exactly that combination: he tutored both calculus and physics at American University for three years. He digs into mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism by teaching students to translate physical scenarios into mathematical setups before ever reaching for a formula sheet.
Engineering coursework at Cornell means Abby is actively grinding through the same calculus-based physics — mechanics, wave motion, electromagnetism — that her students are tackling, which keeps her explanations grounded in the specific problem styles and pitfalls that show up on current exams. She breaks down multi-step problems by isolating the physical principle first, then translating it into the math, so students stop guessing which equation to use. Holds a 5.0 rating.
Three science-focused bachelor's degrees — including biology — meant Garrett sat through the full calculus-based physics sequence and kept coming back to it in physiology and physical chemistry, where concepts like fluid dynamics, pressure gradients, and energy transfer show up again and again. That repeated exposure across disciplines gives him an intuitive feel for when to apply conservation of energy versus momentum, or how to reason through a thermodynamics problem without getting lost in the formalism. His 1530 SAT speaks to the quantitative sharpness he brings to each session.
TA-ing MIT's Physics II course gave Cori front-row experience with the stumbling blocks college students face — from applying Maxwell's equations to navigating multi-step problems in mechanics and thermodynamics. She approaches each topic by building physical intuition first, then layering on the math. Her engineering background means she can also show how these principles appear in real material systems and design problems.
Premed coursework and a computing degree at Notre Dame meant Aidan sat through the full sequence of calculus-based physics — mechanics, E&M, waves — while simultaneously learning to think algorithmically about complex problems. That combination is particularly useful when students hit the wall where physics stops being plug-and-chug and starts requiring multi-step reasoning, like connecting free-body diagrams to energy methods or translating a word problem into the right integral. His 35 ACT speaks to the quantitative fluency he brings to those tougher setups.
Studying applied physics at Cornell means Ritesh isn't just teaching college physics concepts — he's actively using them in coursework and research. He digs into the areas that trip up most introductory students, like applying Newton's laws to rotational systems, working through Gauss's law problems, or connecting energy conservation to real circuits. His 4.6 rating speaks to his ability to make those connections click.
Four years teaching undergraduate physics labs at the University of Michigan — especially courses designed for non-STEM majors — taught Michael how to strip intimidating topics like electromagnetism, circuits, and wave optics down to their physical intuition before layering the math back on. His PhD research deepened that fluency across the full spectrum of college physics, from introductory mechanics through advanced electrodynamics and special relativity. Rated 4.7 by students.
Studying computer science at MIT means Brice lives inside the math and physics that most students only encounter on problem sets — his coursework regularly demands fluency in mechanics, wave behavior, and electromagnetism as foundations for everything from signal processing to computational modeling. He breaks physics problems into the same kind of step-by-step logical structure he'd use to debug code, which makes tangled multi-concept questions feel systematic rather than overwhelming. Rated 4.9 by students.
