I am passionate about both. I have been a teaching assistant, tutor, researcher, guest lecturer, researcher, and am currently a practicing engineer.

I am a rising senior at Harvard College pursuing an AB in Government. Academically, I have diverse interests, including history, language, math, physics, philosophy, music, and politics. In high school, I tutored elementary, middle, and high school students in music, math, ACT and SAT prep, and Spanish. At Harvard, I spent a year as a course assistant in the math department, helping to teach introductory undergraduate calculus. Currently, I volunteer with the Leadership Institute at Harvard College (LIHC) as part of its Social Outreach Committee. This work involves teaching a weekly course called "Fundamentals of Leadership" to a class of middle school students. Overall, I have found my experiences tutoring math to be the most rewarding.
I'm an Iowa native who moved to Nashville for graduate school. My background is in the life sciences; I have a Masters from Vanderbilt in Chemical and Physical Biology, and my undergraduate degree is in Biochemistry. However, my education has been well rounded and I have interests in philosophy, literature, writing, and history. I have extensive research experience, and I hope to share my passion for science with students. I have experience mentoring undergraduate students during my graduate school education to help them gain research experience. I am a very patient teacher and have the ability to see problems from the students perspective; my tutoring style adapts to each student's individual needs, but centers on getting each student to come to their solutions rather than following any one formula for success. I have a lot of experience with standardized testing, and have taken multiple AP subject tests in addition to the ACT, SAT, and GRE examinations.
I'm available to tutor biology, chemistry, physics, math from Algebra up through AP Calculus, SAT test prep, and French. I've been tutoring students in science and math for 7 years. I also spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not working or studying, I love playing volleyball (indoors or on the beach!) and spending time outside, canoeing or hiking with my dog. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
I am eager to help students wrestle with and master concepts in their math and physics classes. I have extensive experience tutoring students in both math and physics at the high school and college level in one on one and larger group settings. During my PhD I was awarded a teaching fellowship which allowed me to continue teaching while I continued to perform research and carry out my dissertation work.
I am a rising senior at Duke University. I major in Computer Science and am also getting a minor in Physics. I have had experience tutoring/teaching as a teaching assistant for three classes: Intro to Databases, Electricity and Magnetism (for engineers), and Computer Network Architecture. I have had industry experience in software development as an intern for IBM and a cybersecurity analyst for TIAA. Outside of school/work, I play the piano and train with the Duke Taekwondo Club. I have a strong background in computer science, physics, and math, but I love learning about and helping students with a wide variety of subjects!
I'm a graduate of the School of Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University (2015). I have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering, and am pursuing a Masters Degree in Business Administration from the VCU School of Business. I've been a mentor for the past four years and am very active in my method of tutoring. I have helped several students with official tests and homework assignments.
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 Brown University graduate with an Sc. B. in Neuroscience and an A.B. in Economics. Although I tutor a range of different subjects, I enjoy tutoring Physics and Math the most. I am passionate about tutoring because I like guiding my students and helping them see problems in a much less complicated way. I have 5+ years of experience teaching and tutoring students of all levels from elementary school to college. Over the past years, I have loved seeing the same students who had difficulty in the subjects become masters in them under my assistance when I taught them simpler approaches. Looking forward to working with you :)
I am also adept in tutoring english grammar, language, and literature. There are few things I enjoy more than a true challenge, whether it be physical or mental. I aspire to be a great inventor and hope that my ideas and creations may simplify life as we know it and bring health, comfort, and joy to the masses. My favorite book is "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett and I recommend that everyone read promptly.
I am currently a student at Brown University seeking a degree in molecular biophysics. I love studying physics and its many applications in the realms of the life sciences. I have a strange penchant for ultimate frisbee and anything that involves golf (mini golf, frisbee golf, actual golf, etc.). One can often find me at Clark Park or Walnut Greens trying to shoot for par or die trying.
I'm a freshman at Stanford University pursuing a degree in mathematical and computational science. I've been tutoring students from grades 3-12 throughout high school, and I look forward to continue in college. Nothing excites me more than learning something new, and I strive to share my excitement with my tutees.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Physics covers mechanics, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics—a broad range that requires deep conceptual understanding, not just memorization. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you build that foundation by breaking down complex topics like Newton's laws, energy conservation, and electromagnetic induction into digestible pieces, then reinforcing them through targeted practice problems that mirror the exam format.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and consistency, but students who work with tutors typically see gains of 1-2 points on the 1-5 AP scale over several months of focused preparation. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's problem-solving speed, conceptual gaps, or test-taking strategy—and addressing them systematically through practice tests and targeted review.
Many students struggle with the balance between conceptual understanding and mathematical problem-solving—you need both to succeed on the AP exam. Other common challenges include managing time during the exam (especially the free-response section), understanding how to apply concepts to unfamiliar scenarios, and building confidence with multi-step problems. Tutors help you develop strategies for each of these challenges through deliberate practice and feedback.
Practice tests are essential—they help you get comfortable with the exam format, identify weak topics, and build stamina for the 3-hour exam. The best approach is to take full-length, timed practice tests every 2-3 weeks, then review your mistakes in depth with a tutor to understand not just what you got wrong, but why and how to avoid similar errors on test day.
Pacing is critical—the multiple-choice section gives you about 1.5 minutes per question, and the free-response section requires careful time allocation across five questions. Tutors help you develop a pacing strategy by practicing with timed sections, learning which question types to tackle first, and building your speed on calculations without sacrificing accuracy. Mock exams under real testing conditions are the best way to refine this skill.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Greenville who specialize in AP Physics and understand the College Board curriculum inside and out. When you get matched with a tutor, you can discuss your specific goals—whether you're aiming for a 3, 4, or 5—and they'll tailor their approach to help you reach that target through personalized instruction that fits your schedule and learning style.
Your first session is typically an assessment and goal-setting conversation. The tutor will ask about your current understanding of key topics, review your recent test scores or practice problems, and learn about your learning style and goals. From there, they'll create a personalized study plan that prioritizes your biggest challenges and builds a roadmap to exam day.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about your approach to problems. Tutoring builds confidence through mastery—as you practice problems repeatedly, understand the underlying concepts, and see yourself improving on practice tests, anxiety naturally decreases. Tutors also teach test-taking strategies and mental approaches that help you stay calm and focused during the actual exam.
