I took 14 AP classes in high school, and retook many of the math and sciences class in college. I think this helps with tutoring because I learned the material multiple times and from many great teachers, so if a student doesn't understand a concept at first, I can hopefully explain it in another way that I've learned.
I'm a biomedical engineering student and undergraduate researcher at Texas A&M University working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. For as long as I can remember, I've always had a passion for learning. In high school, I challenged myself by taking as many AP exams as possible. Doing so not only shaped my love of education but also challenged me to become a self-taught learner. Using what I learned from AP exam preparation allowed me to become a National Merit Finalist, two-time National AP Scholar, and valedictorian of my graduating class of over 600 students. While my favorite subjects to tutor are high school-level and engineering calculus, I am happy to tutor in a range of subjects, including all-around ACT preparation, high school and college math, chemistry, physics, and world history. By tutoring, I hope to share my passion for learning while also providing students with the tools they need to succeed.
I'm Felipe. I am a 3rd year pre-med college student studying Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. I first discovered my passion for teaching a few years ago when I began tutoring ACT and SAT for a tutoring company in my hometown of Frisco. Since then, I have gotten deeply involved with teaching. I have gotten to volunteer for non-profit college organizations at underserved Austin elementary schools to encourage kids to go into STEM, I have gotten to help teach for an introductory biomedical engineering laboratory class at UT, and I have been employed by UT's Engineering Student Services to tutor other students in organic chemistry for well over a year. In that time, I have found that I especially enjoy working with high school and college students. My journey as a student is far from over, so everything I teach is something that I have been right in the middle of learning recently. My favorite subject to tutor is organic chemistry. It is something I've been teaching for a long time, and it's a subject I've gotten to understand well. Other subjects I love to tutor include biology, chemistry, physics, and all math through calculus; my career path has required me to synthesize all these subjects rather well. ACT/SAT test prep is also something I enjoy teaching and is something I have experience with. I have started to offer MCAT tutoring, as it is one of the more rigorous exams I have had success with, and a skill I would love to pass on to other aspiring physicians.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Physics covers mechanics, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics—a broad range of concepts that build on each other. Many students find the transition from regular physics to AP-level problem-solving challenging because it requires both conceptual understanding and strong math skills. Personalized tutoring helps you identify which topics need reinforcement and develops strategies for tackling complex multi-step problems that appear on the exam.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor, but students typically see meaningful gains by focusing on weak areas and practicing with released AP exams. Most students benefit from identifying whether their struggles are conceptual (understanding why something happens) or computational (solving the math), since each requires different strategies. A tutor can pinpoint these gaps and create a targeted study plan that builds confidence before test day.
The AP Physics exam requires you to solve problems efficiently, and pacing is one of the biggest challenges students face. Tutors help you practice time management by working through released exams under timed conditions, teaching you how to quickly assess which problems to tackle first and which to save for later. Learning to skip difficult questions strategically and return to them after easier ones can be the difference between a 3 and a 4 or 5 on the exam.
Students often struggle with free-body diagrams, understanding when to use different equations, and applying concepts to unfamiliar scenarios—the exam loves testing whether you can transfer knowledge to new situations. Energy and momentum problems trip up many students because they require choosing the right approach from several possibilities. Working with a tutor helps you develop problem-solving frameworks and practice enough variations that you can recognize patterns and apply the right strategy quickly.
Practice tests are essential for AP Physics success—they show you the exam format, help you identify weak topics, and build test-day confidence. The most effective approach is to take full-length practice exams under timed conditions, then review every single problem you missed to understand why. A tutor can guide you through this review process, helping you distinguish between careless mistakes and conceptual gaps, then design focused study sessions to address your specific weaknesses.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about problem-solving strategies—both things tutoring directly addresses. By working through challenging problems repeatedly and practicing under exam conditions, you build the confidence that comes from knowing you can handle what the test throws at you. Many students also benefit from learning specific test-day strategies like reading questions carefully, checking units, and managing their energy throughout the 3-hour exam.
Look for tutors with strong physics backgrounds—ideally those who have taught AP Physics, scored well on the exam themselves, or have physics degrees. Beyond credentials, you want someone who can explain concepts clearly, identify exactly where you're struggling, and adjust their teaching style to match how you learn best. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Dallas who understand AP Physics deeply and know how to help students improve their scores.
Ideally, you'll have 4-6 months of consistent preparation before the exam in May, with tutoring sessions ramping up as test day approaches. If you're struggling with foundational concepts, starting earlier gives you time to build understanding before diving into practice problems. Even if test day is closer, a tutor can help you maximize your study time by focusing on high-impact topics and test-taking strategies rather than trying to relearn everything from scratch.
