serving Knoxville, TN

I am an Applied Physics Major with an Emphasis in Mechanical Engineering at Brigham Young University. I love to share the joy I have in the sciences and math to show truly the applications are so far-reaching.

College-level physics ramps up fast, especially when courses introduce calculus-based mechanics or electromagnetism for the first time. Charles works through these topics as part of his mechanical engineering curriculum at Yale, so he can walk through derivations of torque, moment of inertia, or Gauss's law with the fluency of someone who applies them in lab and design projects regularly.

Graduate work in Chemical and Physical Biology at Vanderbilt meant Dennis spent years applying thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and electromagnetism to biological systems — the same core physics concepts that fill college problem sets, just in a research context where getting the physics wrong meant failed experiments. He breaks down force, energy, and field problems by connecting them to the physical intuition behind the math, which is especially useful for pre-med and life science students navigating calculus-based physics for the first time. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Calculus-based physics was Elsa's daily language as a chemistry major at Vanderbilt — thermodynamics in physical chemistry, mechanics in lab design, electromagnetism in spectroscopy — so she teaches college physics with an intuitive sense for how these concepts actually get used beyond the problem set. She's tutored students through the full introductory sequence and zeroes in on translating word problems into free-body diagrams and energy equations, which is where most students lose their footing.

Pre-med coursework and a biology degree mean Jakobi has sat through the same calculus-based physics gauntlet his students are navigating — mechanics, electricity, optics — and he remembers which concepts felt like hitting a wall. He leans on that recent experience to unpack tricky topics like conservation of momentum or circuit analysis, connecting the physics to biological systems whenever it makes the material click faster.

A chemistry degree from Rhodes College means Eric spent semesters in the same calculus-based physics courses his students are navigating now — mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics — and he remembers which conceptual leaps actually trip people up. He connects the physical reasoning to the chemistry he knows cold, so when a problem involves energy conservation or pressure in a system, he can ground the physics in molecular-level intuition that makes the math click.

Free-body diagrams, torque calculations, and energy balance problems aren't abstractions for Matthew — they're the bread and butter of his mechanical engineering training, where getting the physics wrong means a design fails. He breaks down college physics problems by connecting each one to the underlying principle first, whether that's Newton's laws in a pulley system or conservation of energy in a collision. Rated 5.0 by students.

Aerospace engineering is applied physics with higher stakes — orbital mechanics, fluid dynamics over airfoils, structural loads during launch — and Matthew's degree means he solved those problems rigorously before ever stepping into a tutoring session. He breaks down college physics topics like projectile motion, rotational dynamics, and thermodynamic cycles by connecting them to the engineering contexts where they actually matter. Rated 5.0 by students.

Biomedical engineering at the undergraduate level means Kevin spent semesters applying mechanics to musculoskeletal systems, fluid dynamics to blood flow, and circuit models to bioelectric signals — all grounded in the same calculus-based physics that fills college problem sets. He breaks down force diagrams and energy methods by tying them to tangible biomedical scenarios, which gives abstract derivations a concrete anchor. His 33 ACT and 1550 SAT point to the quantitative fluency that keeps pace with fast-moving, problem-heavy courses.

Behavioral neuroscience at Lehigh meant Katherine spent semesters immersed in the physics of biological systems — action potentials as RC circuits, fluid dynamics in blood flow, pressure and wave mechanics in sensory organs — giving her a concrete handle on the concepts that fill college physics problem sets. She's particularly good at walking through the problem-setup phase, teaching students to sketch the physical situation and identify governing principles before touching an equation. Rated 5.0 by students.

Biology majors often hit college physics expecting it to feel foreign, but Andrew knows exactly where the two fields talk to each other — pressure in circulatory systems is fluid dynamics, nerve impulses are electrical circuits, and biomechanics is just Newton's laws wearing a lab coat. His 32 ACT and 5.0 tutoring rating back up his ability to break down force diagrams and energy conservation problems for students who think more naturally in living systems than abstract vectors.

Studying mathematics while also teaching AP Physics 1 and programming gives Lawton an unusual vantage point on college physics — he sees the calculus, the physical reasoning, and the computational modeling as three facets of the same problem. When a student gets stuck on, say, differential equations in damped oscillation or vector decomposition in projectile motion, he can pinpoint whether the gap is in the math, the physics intuition, or both. Rated 5.0 by students.

Civil engineering coursework at the master's level is essentially college physics with consequences — Kacey has applied statics, dynamics, and fluid mechanics to real structural and hydraulic design problems, which means she can explain not just how to solve a free-body diagram but what happens when you get it wrong. Her 32 ACT reflects strong quantitative chops, and her engineering training keeps her fluent in the calculus-based reasoning that separates college physics from the high school version.

Electromagnetism, optics, and thermodynamics all clicked for Jackson during his chemistry degree, where physics wasn't just a prerequisite — it was the foundation for understanding molecular behavior. He teaches students to set up free-body diagrams and energy conservation problems by connecting each concept to a physical scenario they can visualize. His "Learn One, Do One, Teach One" approach means students don't just watch him solve problems — they explain the reasoning back.

Dissecting cow eyes and sheep hearts at NSLC wasn't just memorable — it forced Nicole to explain the optics of lens refraction and the fluid dynamics of circulatory pressure to high schoolers in real time, which is exactly the kind of conceptual grounding that makes college physics click. Her biology degree from Baylor means she's comfortable with the calculus-based mechanics and thermodynamics that overlap heavily with life science coursework, and she leans into that interdisciplinary angle when walking through force diagrams or energy conservation problems.

I am currently a Junior at The University of Alabama pursuing degrees in both Mathematics & Economics. After I graduate, I intend to stay at Alabama to get an M.A. in Economics. I have been tutoring both Math and ACT Prep since I was a Sophomore in High School. After 4 years of experience, I continue to enjoy tutoring these subjects, and the constant challenge of improving my abilities and techniques. I get a great sense of satisfaction in helping those I tutor improve their grades, test scores, and overall understanding of the subjects I am teaching them. Not only do I focus on the subject matter being taught, but I also focus on helping students develop the study skills and habits that are imperative to success later in their academic careers. Through my four years of tutoring, I have developed the ability to mold my tutoring style around however the student learns best whether that be visually, through examples, etc. This allows me to provide an individualized tutoring session to each person I tutor. I believe no two students should be tutored the same was; every student has different learning methods and I view it as my responsibility to modify my tutoring style to fit each individual student.

Studying computer science means Braden spends his days translating real-world problems into logical, step-by-step solutions — a habit that transfers directly to setting up free-body diagrams or applying conservation laws in college physics. His calculus coursework keeps the mathematical machinery fresh, so he can walk through the integration and vector work that makes mechanics and wave problems click rather than feel like abstract symbol-pushing. Holds a 5.0 rating.

When a college physics problem looks like pure abstraction — a block on a frictionless ramp, a charge in a uniform field — Dylan's instinct is to sketch it out, graph it, and show what's physically happening before touching an equation. That visual, graphical approach comes from his physics major at Vanderbilt, where he's simultaneously studying classics and computer science, giving him an unusual ability to translate dense quantitative reasoning into clear, intuitive language. He holds a 4.5 rating and a 36 ACT composite.

College-level physics demands more than plug-and-chug — problems in electrodynamics, rotational mechanics, or thermodynamics often require combining multiple principles in a single solution. Pranav digs into these multi-step problems as a Biomedical Engineering student at Johns Hopkins, where physics underpins much of his coursework. He walks through derivations and problem-solving strategies that build real fluency with the material rather than surface-level familiarity.

Studying molecular biophysics at Brown means Srini lives at the intersection of physics and biology — applying thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and wave mechanics to understand how molecules actually behave in living systems. That dual perspective makes him especially effective at unpacking the conceptual reasoning behind problems in mechanics, circuits, and optics that trip up so many college students.

Working at an ExxonMobil refinery before MIT Sloan meant Caroline spent years applying thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and force analysis to real industrial systems — the same physics that fills college problem sets, except with actual consequences for getting the math wrong. Her mechanical engineering M.S. from WashU (magna cum laude) gave her deep fluency with calculus-based derivations, so she can walk through everything from torque problems to heat transfer without skipping the steps that textbooks gloss over. Rated 5.0 by students.

Chemical engineering at Vanderbilt means Greg solves physics problems daily — fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and force balances are baked into every core course, so his explanations come from repeated, hands-on application rather than textbook summaries. His math double major gives him the calculus fluency to walk through derivations cleanly, especially when problems involve integration over continuous systems or solving second-order differential equations of motion. Rated 5.0 by students.

Predentistry requires a deep pass through college physics — optics, fluid dynamics, mechanics of materials — and Erica tackled that coursework at Harvard alongside a History of Science degree that gave her an unusual ability to explain *where* physical concepts come from and how they evolved into the frameworks students use today. She breaks down problem-solving by connecting the conceptual narrative to the math, so students aren't just plugging into formulas but understanding the physics driving each step. Rated 4.9 by students.

A bio-organic chemistry degree means Alex spent semesters in calculus-based physics courses where thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and mechanics weren't electives — they were prerequisites for understanding molecular behavior. That chemistry-physics overlap gives him a knack for unpacking energy conservation and electric potential in ways that click for students who think in terms of atoms and reactions rather than pulleys and ramps.

Molecular biology might seem like a different world from physics, but Agustin's coursework lives in the overlap — diffusion equations, fluid dynamics in cellular transport, and the thermodynamics behind protein folding all demand real physics fluency. He pairs that life-sciences perspective with strong quantitative chops (1560 SAT) to break down mechanics and energy problems in ways that click for students who think more naturally in biological terms than abstract force diagrams.

Biomedical engineering at Duke means Eric solves physics problems daily — modeling forces on prosthetic joints, analyzing fluid flow through artificial vessels, calculating electrical signals in biosensors — so the mechanics and electromagnetism in a college physics course map directly onto work he's already doing. He breaks multi-step problems into their physical components first, making sure the reasoning is solid before any math hits the page. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Pursuing an MD at Stanford after a double major in economics and molecular/cellular biology, Maggie brings a pre-med perspective to college physics that makes topics like optics, fluid dynamics, and wave mechanics feel immediately relevant rather than abstract. She's especially sharp at teaching students to set up problems cleanly — translating a physical scenario into the right free-body diagram or energy equation before doing any math. Rated 5.0 by students.

MIT's core physics sequence is calculus-heavy and fast — Vania not only survived it but tutored other students through it via the university's Seminar XL program, which means she's seen firsthand where classmates stall on topics like rotational motion, wave mechanics, and Gauss's law. Her mechanical engineering major keeps her applying those physics principles daily in coursework on statics, dynamics, and thermodynamic systems, so her explanations stay rooted in how the concepts actually get used. Rated 5.0 by students.

Environmental engineering is essentially physics with consequences — Kate's master's work required her to model fluid flow, heat transfer, and pressure systems in real infrastructure, which means she's solved the same types of problems that show up on college physics exams but with actual design constraints attached. That applied perspective makes her particularly effective at teaching students to set up force balances and energy equations from a physical scenario rather than reverse-engineering from a formula sheet. Rated 4.9 by students.
