Julie
BA Duke University
7+ Years Tutoring

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.

Alisha

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.
