A chemical and biomolecular engineering degree means Steve spent years applying thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and electromagnetism to real systems — the same core principles that drive AP Physics 1 and 2. He's particularly sharp at teaching students how to connect free-body diagrams to Newton's laws and energy bar charts to conservation principles, building the kind of physical intuition the exam's qualitative questions demand. Rated 5.0 by students.

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 an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I'm a rising junior at Brown University studying biomedical engineering. I have lots of experience in middle school through college level instruction in STEM and SAT/ACT prep. My goal is to provide a fun and productive learning environment by only teaching subjects that I am passionate about.
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 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 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.
I am a lifelong learner, teacher, and researcher in the field of physics. I received a PhD in Physics from the University of Michigan and a BS in Physics from Rice University. I have four years of physics teaching experience at the University of Michigan, primarily undergraduate laboratory courses with an emphasis on electromagnetism, circuits, waves, optics, and real-world applications of these and other physical phenomena. Many of these courses, including one I helped design, focused on helping non-STEM students master physics concepts that may be difficult to grasp in a standard classroom setting. I have tutored in a variety of subjects since high school, but most recently I have spent several years helping students understand concepts and succeed in coursework throughout a large variety of college-level physics topics, from basic mechanics to advanced electrodynamics and special relativity.
I am current master's student pursuing an advanced degree in environmental engineering. I have about 3 years of experience tutoring a standard math and science curricula to students ranging in age from 7-17. I attended college at Washington University in St. Louis receiving a degree in mechanical engineering and energy engineering in 2020. During my time there, I worked as a teaching assistant for several different engineering courses, tutoring students outside of class in the calculus and physics related topics. As someone that benefitted greatly from tutors and teaching assistants, I really love being able to help students that are struggling in certain areas. I am able to help with standardized tests, focusing on math and science sections, AP Calculus and AP Physics exams, and high school math.
I'm Dennis. I study physics, math, and computer science. I have done research about cosmic ray acceleration at supernova shock fronts in the Princeton University Department of Astrophysics, simulating how the turbulent plasmas push protons and ions. I have also worked at the Norfolk State University Department of Engineering, designing, simulating, optimizing, and building light filters for wavelength-division optical-electronic multiplexers. Another field I study is the mathematics of quasicrystals and aperiodic tilings, such as the Penrose tiling of rhombuses.
I am an undergraduate of the Johns Hopkins University, majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science. I have years of experience tutoring and teaching math and various sciences from an elementary to a college level. I primarily tutor college level courses such as physics and biochemistry, but also have extensive experience in social sciences, biology, and higher mathematics such as Calculus and Differential Equations. I believe that demonstrating the various real-world applications of a given concept is the best method to increase a student's understanding.
I am a current (though almost graduated) student in Chemical Engineering at Georgia Tech. I absolutely love teaching and tutoring, and I have 3 years experience tutoring and just over a year's experience in being a teacher's assistant. I am passionate about math and science, and I love helping people understand new material. Learning is something I have always loved, and I want to share that passion with others.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Physics covers mechanics, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics—a broad range of interconnected concepts that build on each other. Personalized tutoring helps you break down complex topics like circular motion, thermodynamics, and electromagnetic induction into manageable pieces, with a tutor who can focus on your specific weak areas rather than moving at a class pace.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort, but students who work consistently with a tutor typically see meaningful gains—often 1-2 points on the 1-5 AP scale. The key is identifying which concepts you're struggling with (like free-body diagrams or energy conservation) and practicing problem-solving repeatedly, which personalized instruction makes much more efficient than studying alone.
Many students struggle with translating word problems into physics equations, visualizing abstract concepts like fields and waves, and managing the time pressure on the exam. Tutoring addresses these by teaching you to break down problems systematically, use diagrams and visual strategies, and practice timed problem sets so you develop both understanding and speed.
The AP Physics exam has two sections: a 90-minute multiple-choice section (50 questions) and a 90-minute free-response section (5 questions). Success requires both conceptual understanding and problem-solving speed. A tutor can help you practice both question types, develop strategies for managing time on each section, and identify which topics appear most frequently so you focus your study efficiently.
Practice tests are essential—they help you identify weak areas, get comfortable with the exam format, and build test-taking stamina. A tutor can help you take full-length practice tests under timed conditions, review your mistakes in detail to understand why you missed each question, and adjust your study plan based on patterns in your performance.
Test anxiety often comes from feeling unprepared or unsure of your problem-solving approach. Working with a tutor builds confidence through repeated practice, mastering consistent strategies for tackling different problem types, and getting feedback on your work before exam day. Many students also find that understanding the 'why' behind concepts—not just memorizing formulas—reduces anxiety significantly.
Look for tutors with strong physics backgrounds—ideally a degree in physics or engineering, or proven teaching experience with AP Physics specifically. They should understand both the content deeply and the AP exam format, and be able to explain complex concepts clearly. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Denton who have demonstrated expertise in AP Physics.
Your first session is typically a diagnostic—your tutor will assess your current understanding of key concepts, identify specific weak areas, and learn about your learning style and goals. From there, you'll work together to create a personalized study plan that targets your challenges and prepares you for the AP exam in a way that fits your timeline and pace.
