Erika
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects
I am available to tutor middle and high school math, history and test prep. I have tutored math and history in the past and I previously taught a test prep course at a school in Hanoi, Vietnam. I have a lot of experience teaching all the need-to-know tricks to doing great on the SATS/ACTS! When I am not in school myself, I love rowing, equestrian and exploring my new city of Boston! I look forward to meeting and working with you soon!
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

I am comfortable with either setting. I'm confident that I can help you (or your student) achieve to the best of their ability, so please don't hesitate to get in touch!
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Annie
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am currently a second year medical student. I was a Physiological Sciences major at UCLA (class of 2015), and pursued research during my gap year between undergrad and medical school.
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!
Pinelopi

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically find force and motion concepts challenging—especially understanding that objects can move at constant velocity without acceleration, and grasping why a moving object doesn't need a constant force to keep moving. Energy transformations (kinetic to potential and vice versa) also trip up many students because the concept is abstract. Additionally, students often struggle with interpreting graphs of motion, unit conversions (like converting between meters and kilometers), and understanding the difference between speed and velocity. A tutor can break these down with real-world examples and visual representations to make the abstractions concrete.
Since forces are invisible, tutors use hands-on demonstrations and diagrams to make them tangible—like rolling balls down ramps to show how friction affects motion, or using free-body diagrams to map all forces acting on an object. Many tutors also use interactive simulations or real objects (springs, weights, inclined planes) so you can see forces in action rather than just reading about them. This approach helps you develop intuition about why objects behave the way they do, which is essential for solving problems beyond just memorizing formulas.
Tutors help you understand the 'why' behind experiments, not just the steps—like explaining why you're measuring velocity at different points on a ramp, or how a simple pendulum demonstrates the relationship between period and length. They can also help you design experiments to test predictions, interpret data you've collected, and troubleshoot when results don't match expectations. This builds your scientific reasoning skills alongside content knowledge, preparing you to think like a scientist rather than just follow procedures.
Energy is abstract—you can't see it or touch it directly—which makes it harder to grasp than concrete concepts like force. Students often confuse energy with force, or struggle to track how energy transforms from one form to another (like chemical energy in food becoming kinetic energy when you run). A tutor can use analogies and real-world scenarios (a roller coaster converting potential to kinetic energy, a battery converting chemical to electrical energy) to make these transformations visible and memorable. Breaking energy into its forms—kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical—and showing how they're related helps students build a mental model they can apply to new problems.
Motion graphs—position-time and velocity-time graphs—confuse many students because they require translating between visual, numerical, and conceptual representations. A tutor will help you connect the shape of a graph to what's actually happening (a steep line means fast motion, a horizontal line means the object isn't moving), and practice reading graphs alongside real motion scenarios. Many tutors use technology or physical demonstrations where you can watch an object move while its graph is drawn in real-time, making the connection between the motion and the graph immediate and intuitive.
Effective problem-solving in physics requires identifying what's given, what you're looking for, and which concepts apply—not just plugging numbers into formulas. A tutor teaches you to draw diagrams (like free-body diagrams), identify the physics principles at play, and work through problems step-by-step with clear reasoning. They also help you check whether your answer makes sense (Does the direction of the force match the direction of acceleration? Is the energy value reasonable?). With practice on varied problems, you develop problem-solving patterns that transfer to new scenarios you haven't seen before.
Rather than memorizing that a lever has a mechanical advantage, a tutor shows you how levers work in tools you use daily—a crowbar, scissors, a seesaw—and helps you calculate the actual advantage they provide. They might explore how pulleys reduce the force needed to lift something, or how inclined planes make moving heavy objects easier. This approach transforms simple machines from abstract concepts into tools you can analyze and understand, making the physics meaningful and memorable rather than just formulas to memorize.
Physics rewards understanding because once you grasp why objects accelerate when forces act on them, you can solve countless problems without memorizing each one. A tutor focuses on building your conceptual foundation—asking you 'why' questions, having you predict what will happen before seeing results, and connecting new concepts to ones you already know. This approach means you're less likely to forget material, and you can tackle unfamiliar problems by applying principles rather than searching for a matching formula. It's a slower, deeper process than memorization, but it pays off in both retention and confidence.
