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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Studying applied mathematics at Caltech means Samuel encounters physics constantly — from classical mechanics and energy conservation to electromagnetism and wave behavior. He breaks down the math behind physical systems so that equations like Maxwell's or Newton's second law feel like tools rather than obstacles.

He tackles college-level topics like Lagrangian dynamics and wave equations by connecting the math to physical intuition, making dense derivations feel less abstract.

Thermodynamics is where Rahul lights up — it was his favorite corner of Cornell's chemical engineering program, and that enthusiasm shows when he's walking someone through heat engines, entropy, or the first and second laws in a college physics context. His engineering training means he treats every problem as a physical system first and an equation second, pushing for the conceptual reasoning behind each step rather than formula-matching. Rated 4.9 by students.

A chemistry degree from Yale means Zosia spent years in courses where physics does the heavy lifting — thermodynamics driving reaction spontaneity, quantum mechanics explaining atomic structure, electrostatics governing molecular interactions — so she knows these concepts from the inside out. She's particularly effective at teaching students to translate word-heavy problem statements into clean free-body diagrams or energy bar charts before touching an equation. Rated 4.9 by students.

Running an immunology lab at Columbia University Medical Center means Matthew applies physics daily in ways most tutors haven't — calibrating imaging equipment, analyzing force and pressure data in tissue samples, and troubleshooting instruments that depend on optics and electromagnetism. That hands-on fluency, combined with a physics degree and a 35 ACT, lets him teach college-level mechanics and E&M problems by connecting equations to the physical systems they actually describe.

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.

Rated 5.0 by students.

A bio-organic chemistry degree means Alex spent semesters in calculus-based physics courses where thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and mechanics weren't electives — they were prerequisites for understanding molecular behavior. That chemistry-physics overlap gives him a knack for unpacking energy conservation and electric potential in ways that click for students who think in terms of atoms and reactions rather than pulleys and ramps.

Two physics degrees — a B.S. and a PhD — mean Zhengdong has worked through every layer of the college physics sequence, from introductory Newtonian mechanics all the way to quantum theory and advanced electrodynamics. He's particularly effective at teaching students to translate a physical scenario into the right mathematical framework, whether that's setting up free-body diagrams in mechanics or applying Gauss's law to symmetric charge distributions. Rated 4.8 by students.

College-level physics layers calculus and more rigorous problem-solving onto the conceptual foundations from high school, and Samantha's Cornell science background means she's fluent in both the math and the theory. She breaks down topics like rotational dynamics, electric fields, and thermodynamic cycles using visual models and step-by-step dimensional analysis that keep the problem-solving process clear.

A molecular biology background means Andrew regularly encountered physics in disguise — diffusion rates, membrane potentials, fluid dynamics in biological systems — before his doctoral work added another layer of analytical rigor. He breaks down mechanics and thermodynamics problems by connecting them to tangible phenomena, which makes the abstract math feel less like symbol-pushing. Rated 4.8 by students.

A computer science degree from UCLA means Michael spent semesters deep in the physics that underpins simulation and graphics — kinematics, force modeling, energy systems — and his 1560 SAT confirms the quantitative chops to handle calculus-based problem solving. He teaches students to treat each physics problem like debugging code: isolate what you know, identify the governing principle, then execute step by step until the answer falls out.
