Studying physics alongside computer science at Duke, Bryce tackles mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics from both the theoretical and computational sides. He unpacks the math behind physical laws — showing why F=ma isn't just a formula but a relationship you can reason through to solve problems you've never seen before.

Circuit analysis, electromagnetic fields, thermodynamics — Prakash has taught physics from both the theoretical and applied sides, first as a university instructor and now as a working engineer. He unpacks force diagrams, energy conservation, and wave behavior by grounding abstract equations in tangible, real-world scenarios that make the physics intuitive.

Dance training builds a surprisingly strong intuition for physics — Alisha thinks in terms of forces, momentum, torque, and center of mass every time she choreographs or analyzes movement, which gives her a kinesthetic vocabulary for concepts that most tutors explain purely on a whiteboard. She pairs that physical intuition with serious math chops (1530 SAT, 34 ACT) to teach students how to connect what's happening in a scenario to the equations that describe it.

An applied mathematics degree from UCLA and doctoral-level engineering work at Virginia Tech gave Professor Florence deep fluency with the math that underpins physics — from vector calculus in electromagnetism to differential equations in harmonic motion. She breaks down force diagrams, energy conservation problems, and wave mechanics by connecting each concept to the underlying mathematical structure so students see *why* the equations work.

An MBA might not be the typical physics background, but William's quantitative coursework in statistics and calculus — combined with teaching both high school physics and math — means he's comfortable walking through force diagrams, energy calculations, and kinematics problems without skipping the algebraic steps that lose most students. He approaches each problem by grounding it in everyday logic first, making Newton's laws and conservation principles feel like common sense rather than abstract rules.

Kinematics and Newton's laws make a lot more sense when someone walks you through the free-body diagrams slowly enough to see what each force is actually doing. George pairs his strong math background with patient problem setup, making sure students can translate a physical scenario into equations before rushing to solve. His UNC Chapel Hill science coursework and Mensa-level analytical thinking keep explanations sharp and precise.

Every physics problem is a puzzle — and Artem treats it that way, breaking each scenario into its mechanical components before assembling a solution, whether that's decomposing forces on an inclined plane or tracing energy through a collision. His electrical and computer engineering coursework keeps him deep in the calculus-physics overlap daily, so he tackles everything from introductory kinematics through AP Physics and college-level mechanics without the math ever becoming a separate obstacle. Rated 5.0 by students.

UNC Chapel Hill's curriculum gives Jeffrey daily practice with the mechanics, forces, and energy concepts that form the backbone of any physics course, and his 33 ACT confirms the quantitative chops to handle the math side cleanly. He also teaches calculus and trigonometry, which means when a student gets stuck on a projectile motion problem, he can tell whether the confusion is in the physics or in the sine and cosine — and fix the right one.

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.

Mechanical engineering grad school is essentially applied physics on repeat — Aaron solves statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics problems daily, so the concepts in introductory and AP-level courses are second nature rather than something he has to dust off. He's especially sharp at breaking down free-body diagrams and energy conservation setups, connecting the physical picture to the math so students see why an equation applies instead of guessing which one to use. Rated 5.0 by students.

Eric approaches physics the way his Duke engineering program taught him: start with a free-body diagram, identify what's conserved, and let the math follow from the concept. Whether it's projectile motion, circuits, or rotational dynamics, he walks through each problem type until the setup becomes second nature.

Teaching electricity and magnetism to engineering students as a Duke TA gave Florence a front-row view of where physics concepts break down for people — and exactly how to rebuild that understanding. Her physics minor means she's deeply comfortable with everything from Newtonian mechanics to circuit analysis, and she explains each topic by connecting the math to the physical situation it describes. Rated 5.0 by students.

Because her training spans neuroscience and calculus-based physics, Julie connects force diagrams and energy conservation to real biological and engineering contexts instead of treating them as abstract problem sets. She's particularly sharp at walking through the math embedded in kinematics and electromagnetism — the algebra and calculus steps where most students lose the thread.

Understanding physics means building intuition for how forces, energy, and motion actually interact — not just memorizing which equation to grab. Beepul tackles problems by first sketching the physical scenario and identifying what's really happening, a habit sharpened by his biomedical engineering training at Duke where physics underpins nearly every course.

A PhD in Bioengineering from Georgia Tech means Jordan has solved mechanics, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics problems not as textbook exercises but as the backbone of real research — designing systems where forces, pressures, and energy transfers have to be modeled correctly. That engineering depth lets him trace a physics concept from the intuitive picture all the way through the calculus, which is especially useful for students who understand the idea but get lost executing the math. Rated 5.0 by students.

Kinematics problems, free-body diagrams, and energy conservation all require translating a word problem into math — and that translation step is where most physics students struggle. Katrina's physical sciences coursework at Cornell keeps her sharp on exactly this skill, and her 35 ACT demonstrates the quantitative reasoning she applies to every problem. She walks through each setup methodically so students learn to decode problems on their own.

Pursuing his B.S. in Physics at NC State with a math minor, Gatlin is deep in the subject right now — from classical mechanics and electromagnetism to modern physics topics like quantum behavior and special relativity. That proximity to the material means he remembers exactly which conceptual leaps are hardest and how to bridge them. He connects mathematical formalism to physical intuition so equations stop feeling arbitrary.

Understanding physics means learning to translate a word problem into a free-body diagram and then into equations — and that translation step is where most students get lost. Ryan, who also teaches AP Physics 1, unpacks kinematics, Newton's laws, and energy conservation by emphasizing how to set up problems correctly before touching any math. Once the setup is solid, the algebra students already know does the rest.

Danielle teaches physics alongside calculus and pre-calculus, which means she can catch the exact moment a student's struggle with a force or energy problem is actually a math issue in disguise — a shaky derivative, a mishandled vector component — and fix it on the spot. She leans heavily on building the physical picture first, getting students to describe what's happening in plain language before translating into equations and numbers.

An astrophysics degree and a current ocean engineering grad program mean Paige has been solving mechanics, wave, and thermodynamics problems continuously — from modeling stellar systems to analyzing fluid forces on marine structures. She's especially sharp at dismantling multi-concept problems into their physical pieces, a skill she honed as a peer learning assistant teaching physics to non-majors who needed every step to make intuitive sense. Rated 5.0 by students.

A Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering degree from NC State means Catrina didn't just study physics — she applied it daily across mechanics, electromagnetism, and wave behavior. She tackles tricky topics like free-body diagrams and energy conservation by walking through the reasoning before touching an equation, so students understand the physics driving the math. That approach builds the kind of problem-solving instinct that carries through AP exams and beyond.

Mechanical engineering at Duke means Shaan solves physics problems daily that go well beyond the introductory level — statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and material mechanics are baked into every semester. That constant exposure lets him break down a tricky free-body diagram or energy conservation scenario by connecting it to the real engineering applications where those principles actually matter, giving students a concrete anchor for abstract ideas.

A Duke-trained science student with minors in both biology and chemistry, Rayhan approaches physics problems by grounding them in the physical intuition behind the math — why Newton's second law is a relationship between net force and acceleration, not just F=ma to plug into. He walks through free-body diagrams, energy conservation, and wave behavior with an emphasis on setting up problems correctly before touching a calculator.

David's physics degree means he's worked through the full arc — from free-body diagrams in introductory mechanics to Maxwell's equations in upper-level E&M — and he teaches all three AP Physics courses, so he knows exactly where each exam raises the difficulty. What sets him apart is his focus on the reasoning before the math: getting students to articulate why a conservation law applies to a given scenario before writing a single equation. He also produces music in Logic Pro, which keeps him fluent in the wave mechanics and signal behavior that often feel abstract in a classroom.

Cailee's pre-med track at the University of Michigan required a rigorous physics sequence covering mechanics, energy conservation, and electromagnetism — the same material that shows up in introductory courses. She approaches problem-solving by teaching students to draw free-body diagrams and identify which principles apply before touching a single equation.

Studying physics at UNC Chapel Hill while actively tutoring it gives Shourya an unusual dual perspective — he remembers exactly which concepts in mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism are counterintuitive the first time around. He unpacks problems by teaching students to draw free-body diagrams, identify conservation laws, and translate physical situations into equations before touching a calculator. That approach has earned him a 4.9 client rating.

Breaking a free-body diagram into components or applying conservation of energy across a multi-step problem requires comfort with both the physics intuition and the underlying math. Kathleen teaches calculus and multivariable math alongside physics, so she can walk students through the derivations — not just hand them equations to memorize. Her 4.9 rating speaks to how well that approach lands.

Studying chemistry and statistics at UNC Chapel Hill means Akshay lives at the intersection of mathematical modeling and physical systems — exactly the skillset physics demands. He tackles everything from Newtonian mechanics to electromagnetism by emphasizing how to set up a problem correctly, since choosing the right free-body diagram or coordinate system is usually the hardest part.

Every physics problem is really a translation exercise: turning a word problem into a free-body diagram, then into equations, then into an answer that makes physical sense. Matthew practiced that cycle hundreds of times through his civil engineering coursework and teaches students to trust the process of setting up problems correctly before reaching for formulas.

Understanding physics means learning to translate a messy real-world situation into a clean diagram and a set of equations. Bria's Yale science coursework gave her deep practice with exactly this skill, from free-body diagrams in mechanics to circuit analysis in electromagnetism. She teaches students to identify which principles apply before touching a calculator.

Getting physics intuition right matters more than memorizing equations — knowing *why* tension in a rope changes depending on the system, or how energy conservation shortcuts a kinematics problem. Amanda pairs her chemistry major's mathematical rigor with hands-on experience in engineering and statics to make force diagrams and vector math click.

I am a graduate of Duke University with a dual Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering and Economics. I started tutoring in high school, working with Spanish-speaking ESL students in their native language as volunteer service. Due to my exceptional academic performance, family friends and members of my local church would often ask me to tutor their children, a request I would grant as much as my schedule allowed. My professional experience with tutoring only began in college, when I was hired as a teaching assistant for the Duke TIP summer program. After graduation, I worked for an international test prep company for two years. In addition to teaching classes on the SAT, ACT, and SAT II Subject Tests, I also provided private tutoring services in high school-level math, statistics, and physics.

A Yale Applied Physics degree followed by graduate-level biomedical engineering at Duke gives Jordan an unusually deep command of physics — from Newtonian mechanics through electromagnetism and thermodynamics. He breaks complex derivations into intuitive steps, connecting the math to physical scenarios students can actually picture. Whether it's free-body diagrams or wave interference, he builds understanding from the ground up.

Majoring in both Physics and Biochemistry at Rice, Aadith tackles the subject from two directions — the pure mechanics and electromagnetism side alongside the biophysical applications where those principles govern everything from membrane potentials to protein folding dynamics. That dual lens is especially useful for students who need more than abstract derivations to make Newton's laws or conservation of energy feel real. His 1590 SAT underscores the quantitative precision he brings to problem setup and calculation.

Engineering students see physics differently than most tutors do — every force diagram, energy conservation problem, and wave equation is a tool they actually use. Ellie's biomedical engineering program at Yale means she tackles mechanics, electricity, and thermodynamics regularly in applied contexts. She unpacks the math behind each physics concept so students understand the equations instead of just memorizing them.

Dennis doesn't just teach physics — he does it. His research at Princeton simulating cosmic ray acceleration at supernova shock fronts and his engineering work designing optical filters at Norfolk State mean he can connect textbook topics like kinematics, energy conservation, and wave behavior to real systems. That context turns abstract force diagrams and equations into something students can actually picture.

As a Yale physics major who also teaches thermodynamics, special relativity, and statics and dynamics, Ian has worked through the full arc from introductory mechanics to upper-division theory — so he knows exactly where each concept builds on the last and where students tend to lose the thread. He's particularly sharp at finding the analogy or reframing that makes a stubborn idea finally click, whether that's torque, wave superposition, or conservation laws in multi-body systems. His 1550 SAT speaks to the quantitative precision he brings to every problem.

Most physics struggles come down to one thing: not knowing how to start a problem. Phillip teaches a systematic approach — draw the diagram, identify the forces, pick the right coordinate system — that turns intimidating multi-step problems into a sequence of smaller, solvable ones. He's taken physics through the college level as part of his biomedical engineering degree at Brown and knows exactly where conceptual gaps tend to hide.
