I am here to provide encouragement and support and I am willing to go to great extents to help you reach your educational goals.

I'm Garrett and I live in Salt Lake City and I want to help you understand topics in natural science and mathematics. I have a bachelor's degree in geological science (geophysics) from University of Colorado Boulder with a minor in mathematics. Part of my success in college came from the preparation I had from taking AP Calculus and Physics courses in high school. I'm a huge fan of visual aids and examining real-life examples and applications when teaching. I worked as a learning assistant in an astronomy lab course and as a tutor for student athletes in geology while attending CU. I've been honing the ability to craft perfect analogies to help you make sense of mathematical or physical concepts.
I am a Sophomore at BYU from Sacramento, CA. Currently, I am studying Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Management. I love understanding how everything works and that is one of my biggest motivators in school and learning in general. The subjects in which I am most proficient are Calculus, any type of Algebra and test-taking skills. I am also fluent in Spanish having spent two years in Spain where I talked with peoples of various Spanish-speaking countries emphasizing the Castillian accent. I would love to be able to share my enthusiasm for understanding with everyone.
I am currently a student at Brigham Young University studying Applied Physics. After finishing my degree I am planning on pursuing a master's degree in Aerospace Engineering. Since January 2014 I have worked in the physics help lab at BYU. Throughout this time I have greatly enjoyed helping many students increase their understanding of physics. I love seeing my students have a "light-bulb" moment where suddenly everything we discussed makes sense to them. I think it is extremely important for everyone to have (at least) a basic understanding of math and science as this helps us to better understand our world. I am greatly motivated to teach in a way that my students understand the fundamental principles and not in a way that they can merely get the right answer. I love trying to pass on my enthusiasm for math and science to my students, and I am always looking for ways to show how cool and fun mastering these subjects can be. Although I am most passionate about physics, I also tutor math and Spanish. When I'm not studying or teaching I enjoy swimming, reading (especially Michael Crichton and Orson Scott Card), and exchanging movie quotes with my roommates.
I enjoy helping students build confidence in chemistry, physics, and the ACT. I just finished up my sophomore year studying biomedical engineering with a 3.99 GPA. While at school, I am a peer tutor for general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics 1. I love getting to know my students and helping them out with their unique concerns. I have a very problem-based teaching philosophy where we work through lots of practice problems together. I can't wait to meet you! Let's connect!
I am also figuring out the reason the student doesn't understand the material in the first place. I also have always enjoyed the perspective I get from teaching. It gives me a better overall understanding of the subject, so I am even more prepared for future lessons and future jobs.
My name is Jackson, and I have a passion for math and physics (I know, super nerdy). I graduated with a Bachelor's in Physics and a minor in mathematics, and I love helping students understand concepts in both these fields. I have one year of tutoring experience in college/AP-level physics and math (particularly calculus), and I tutor all levels of math and physics. I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as a "math" person. Math and Science are for everyone! That being said, I know these topics can be intimidating to many. I aim to help students understand the foundations of these subjects and prepare them to be better STEM learners.
I am really passionate about all the subjects that I teach and my goal with tutoring is to inspire my students to feel the same passion. I love tutoring because I love being able to make a positive difference in my students lives.
I am an energetic tutor with an abundance of tutoring experience in a broad range of subjects. As a biology major at Washington University in St. Louis, I am well-versed in chemistry, biology, physics and calculus. I have privately tutored elementary through high school students in these areas of study, as well as algebra, trigonometry and geometry. However, my academic interests are not limited to math and science. My true academic passion is for French language and literature, which is my second major at my university. I developed this passion at a young age, but mastered the language during my semester abroad in a language-immersion program in Toulouse, France.
I am a great tutor because not only are my fundamental verbal and quantitative skills strong, but I am able to communicate my reasoning and problem solving skills quickly and clearly.
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 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 am a rising college sophomore who will be attending Duke University on a full merit scholarship in the fall. I love to run cross country and play the viola, as well as tutoring students in a whole variety of subjects! Feel free to message me!
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 senior undergraduate at Yale University studying biomedical engineering and will be starting my Ph.D next year. I was born and raised in Philadelphia and have travelled to a few other countries through study abroad programs and international conferences. I've been to China several times and love to practice my Chinese with others!
I am now a medical student at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
I am an avid classical pianist, EMT, swimmer, and tinkerer. I love explaining things and paying forward my knowledge to those around me!
I am currently a student at Stanford University studying math and political science. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with younger students. I have helped students of different ages and from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, and so I am very conscious of the needs and prior knowledge my students and tailor my tutoring method and style individually.
I am a sophomore at Washington University in St. Louis studying business. I am majoring in Economics and Strategy and Organization and Strategic Management with a minor in Psychology. I have tutored students in all grade levels. Most recently, I have volunteered at the Biome School in St. Louis tutoring elementary school students. My subject strong suits are ACT and SAT test prep and math. In my free time, I like to ski, play board games and watch sports.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Physics covers mechanics, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics—a broad range that requires both conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you build a solid foundation in each unit, identify which concepts are giving you trouble, and develop strategies to connect ideas across topics. Many students find that working through practice problems with a tutor accelerates their understanding far more than studying alone.
Score improvement depends on your starting point, how consistently you work with a tutor, and how much practice you do between sessions. Students who work regularly with a tutor and complete practice problems typically see meaningful gains—often moving from a 2 or 3 to a 4 or 5. The key is identifying your weak areas early (through practice tests) and targeting them systematically rather than trying to review everything at once.
The most common struggles are understanding the conceptual reasoning behind formulas, applying the right equations to unfamiliar problem types, and managing time during the exam. Many students also find the free-response section intimidating because it requires clear explanations of their reasoning, not just correct answers. A tutor can help you practice translating physics concepts into clear written explanations and develop a problem-solving process that works consistently.
Practice tests are essential—they show you exactly what you don't know and help you get comfortable with the exam format and timing. The best approach is to take a full practice test early to identify weak units, focus your tutoring on those areas, then take another test a few weeks before the exam to track progress and refine your test-taking strategy. A tutor can review your practice test results with you, point out patterns in your mistakes, and help you adjust your approach.
Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about whether you truly understand the material. Working through problems repeatedly with a tutor, seeing yourself improve on practice tests, and practicing under timed conditions all build genuine confidence. Your tutor can also help you develop a calm problem-solving routine—like reading questions carefully, identifying what's being asked, and checking your work—that gives you something concrete to focus on during the exam instead of worrying.
Look for tutors with strong physics backgrounds—ideally someone who has taught AP Physics, scored well on the exam themselves, or studied physics at the college level. It's equally important that they can explain complex ideas clearly and adapt their teaching to how you learn best. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Ogden who understand the AP curriculum and can help you develop both conceptual understanding and test-taking skills.
Most students benefit from weekly sessions, though the right frequency depends on your current level, how much time you can dedicate to practice, and how far away the exam is. If you're starting several months early, one session per week with consistent practice between sessions works well. As the exam approaches, some students increase to twice weekly to tackle harder problems and review weak areas more intensively.
Your first session is about assessment and planning. Your tutor will likely ask about your current grade, which units feel strongest and weakest, and what your score goal is. They may have you work through a few problems to see your problem-solving approach and identify where misconceptions exist. From there, you'll develop a study plan tailored to your needs—whether that's building foundational understanding, practicing harder problems, or refining test-taking strategies.
