Certified College Physics Tutor
Aaron
BA The University of Texas at Dallas • Current Grad Student, Mechanical Engineering Duke University
10+ Years Tutoring

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.

Eric
BA Duke University
8+ Years Tutoring

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.

Florence
BA Duke University
5+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.

Prakash
MS The University of Texas at Tyler • BA Tribhuvan University
4+ Years Tutoring

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.

Alisha

6+ Years Tutoring

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.
