Juggling calculus and biochemistry coursework while tackling medical school applications means Robert is actively immersed in the quantitative and scientific reasoning that college physics demands — he's solving the same kinds of force, energy, and wave problems his students are. His classical studies training also gives him an unusual knack for close, careful reading of dense problem statements, which turns out to be half the battle when a multi-step physics question buries the key constraint in the second paragraph.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am currently a senior at Harvard College where I study chemistry, and I'll be attending Columbia Medical School next year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their applications to the real world.

Frequently Asked Questions
College Physics usually covers mechanics (motion, forces, energy), waves and sound, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, and often includes an introduction to modern physics. The course emphasizes both conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills, requiring you to apply physics principles to real-world scenarios—from how bridges withstand forces to how electric circuits power everyday devices. If you're struggling with specific units or concepts, personalized tutoring can help you build a stronger foundation before moving to more advanced topics.
Many students struggle with translating word problems into equations, managing unit conversions, and visualizing abstract concepts like electromagnetic fields or wave behavior. Additionally, College Physics requires both computational skills and conceptual reasoning—you need to understand *why* a formula works, not just memorize it. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can break down these challenging topics, work through problem-solving strategies with you, and help you develop the scientific reasoning skills that make physics click.
Lab work is where physics becomes tangible—you're testing theories and collecting real data. A tutor can help you understand the scientific method, design experiments, analyze results, and write clear lab reports that connect your observations to theoretical concepts. They can also help you prepare for lab practicals and troubleshoot when your experimental results don't match predictions, which is a valuable learning opportunity in itself.
College Physics problems are typically more complex, requiring you to combine multiple concepts, work with more sophisticated mathematics, and think critically about which principles apply to a given situation. Rather than following a single formula, you're often asked to analyze a scenario from first principles. Personalized tutoring helps you develop systematic problem-solving strategies—like drawing diagrams, identifying known and unknown variables, and choosing the right approach—skills that transfer across all physics topics.
Your first session is about building a personalized plan. A tutor will assess your current understanding, identify specific topics where you're struggling (whether it's kinematics, energy conservation, or circuits), and learn about your learning style and goals. From there, they'll work with you to develop a targeted approach—whether that's reviewing foundational concepts, working through challenging problem sets, or preparing for exams. Most students find that even one session clarifies misconceptions and boosts confidence.
Visualization is key to understanding physics—whether you're picturing forces acting on an object, electric field lines, or wave interference patterns. Expert tutors use diagrams, analogies, real-world examples, and sometimes interactive tools to help you build mental models of these abstract concepts. For example, understanding that electricity behaves similarly to water flow can make circuit analysis more intuitive. With guided practice, you'll develop the ability to visualize these concepts on your own, which dramatically improves both comprehension and problem-solving.
Ideally, start 2-3 weeks before your exam to allow time for spaced review and practice testing—research shows that spreading study sessions over time is far more effective than cramming. A tutor can help you create a study plan, identify your weakest areas, work through practice problems under exam-like conditions, and review common mistakes. Even a few focused tutoring sessions in the weeks leading up to an exam can significantly improve your performance and reduce test anxiety.
Look for tutors with a strong background in physics—whether that's a degree in physics, engineering, or a related field, plus demonstrated teaching experience. They should be able to explain concepts clearly, work through problems patiently, and adapt their teaching style to your needs. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have been vetted for both subject mastery and teaching ability, so you can focus on learning rather than worrying about tutor quality.
