Tutoring a Differential Equations course weekly at Yale means Ellie regularly works through the calculus that sits underneath every physics concept — from modeling projectile trajectories to analyzing oscillating spring systems. Her biomedical engineering major puts her in constant contact with mechanics, circuits, and fluid dynamics in applied settings, so she can show students how a free-body diagram or an energy equation connects to something real. Rated 5.0 by students.

Kinematics, Newton's laws, energy conservation — high school physics is really about learning to translate word problems into equations and then back into physical intuition. Garrett's biology background gives him a knack for grounding abstract formulas in real-world examples, like explaining projectile motion through the biomechanics of a jumping animal. He breaks each problem into a clear free-body diagram before touching any math.

One of the courses Michael helped design at the University of Michigan was built specifically for non-STEM students encountering physics for the first time — the same population that often struggles in high school physics. He tackles kinematics, Newton's laws, and energy conservation by grounding each idea in tangible scenarios before introducing equations. That approach turns physics from a formula-memorization exercise into something students can reason through on their own.

Most high school physics frustration comes from one place: students can follow the lecture but freeze when they see a new problem. Bidyut addresses this by teaching a repeatable problem-solving framework — identify forces, draw the diagram, choose the axis, write the equation — that works whether the topic is projectile motion, energy conservation, or circuits. His 36 ACT and engineering training at Johns Hopkins back up a deep comfort with the material at every level.

Engineering coursework at Georgia Tech means Aimee has solved statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics problems at a level well beyond what shows up in a high school physics class — so she can quickly spot where a student's free-body diagram went wrong or why their energy conservation equation isn't balancing. Her chemical engineering background is especially useful for topics like heat transfer, pressure, and fluid behavior, where she can pull from real lab and design problems to make the physics concrete. Rated 4.9 by students.

Most high school physics struggles come down to one thing: translating a word problem into the right equation. Amber tackles that translation step directly, teaching students to sketch diagrams, label forces, and identify which kinematic or energy equation fits before touching a calculator. Her dual background in math and science means she can reinforce the algebra and trig skills that physics constantly demands.

Kinematics, free-body diagrams, energy conservation, torque — Ava taught these topics as a TA for engineering courses at Washington University in St. Louis and knows exactly where high school students tend to get stuck. Her mechanical engineering background means she can connect textbook physics to real-world applications like bridge loads and engine thermodynamics, making abstract formulas feel concrete.

A year as a course assistant in Harvard's math department — teaching the calculus that underpins kinematics, work-energy theorems, and rotational dynamics — gave Richard a strong handle on the quantitative backbone of high school physics. His government major means he's practiced at building logical arguments from evidence, a skill that translates surprisingly well to setting up force diagrams and reasoning through multi-step physics problems.

Having taught calculus and physics at Notre Dame and served as a student assistant for mechanics courses, Jeffrey knows exactly where high school students stumble — usually at the jump from plugging numbers into formulas to reasoning through multi-step scenarios involving rotational motion or collisions. His mechanical engineering PhD training at Rice means he can ground abstract concepts like torque and angular momentum in real systems students can picture. Rated 4.9 by students.

Physics problems often stall not because the concepts are too hard, but because students aren't sure which principle to apply — is it conservation of energy or Newton's second law? JF teaches a systematic approach to problem setup, from drawing free-body diagrams to choosing reference frames, that turns intimidating multi-step problems into manageable sequences. His math and CS training at Stanford keeps the algebra sharp along the way.
