Matthew
BA Brigham Young University-Provo
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Jackson
BA Rhodes College
2+ Years Tutoring

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.

Michael
BA Rice University • Doctor of Philosophy, Physics University of Michigan
7+ Years Tutoring

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.

1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently conducting breast cancer research as the lab manager in an immunology lab at Columbia University Medical Center. I am extremely comfortable with physics and mathematics (from my studies) as well as biology, chemistry, and biochemistry (through my research experience) and sincerely enjoy tutoring students in those areas. I also enjoy tutoring for standardized tests. While I was studying for the SAT, ACT, and MCAT, all of my preparation was through self-study; as a result, I have a unique approach to preparing for tests that emphasizes knowing the test itself more than the actual material. In addition to tutoring natural sciences and standardized test prep, I tutor Spanish, which I studied for 7 years and spoke for a year while living in Spain. In my spare time, I play guitar, cook for my friends, read, and play with my cat Suki.

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 work through challenging concepts like circular motion, thermodynamics, and electromagnetic induction at your own pace, with a tutor who can identify exactly where your understanding breaks down and rebuild it from there.

Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with tutoring, but students who work with tutors typically see meaningful gains by focusing on weak areas and building problem-solving strategies. Many students jump from a 2 or 3 to a 4 or 5 by getting targeted help with the most challenging units and developing stronger test-taking habits over time.

AP Physics students often struggle with translating word problems into equations, understanding the conceptual 'why' behind formulas, and managing the pacing of the exam—there's a lot of content to master in one year. Additionally, the free-response section requires clear reasoning and proper setup, which many students don't practice enough. A tutor can help you build problem-solving frameworks and practice under timed conditions so you're confident on test day.

Your first session focuses on understanding your current level, learning goals, and specific pain points—whether that's mechanics, circuits, or test anxiety. A tutor will likely work through a practice problem or two to see your approach and identify where personalized instruction will help most, then build a plan tailored to your needs and timeline.

Practice tests are essential—they reveal your weak units, show you how to manage timing, and build test-day confidence. Most students benefit from taking full practice exams under timed conditions every 2-3 weeks, then reviewing mistakes with a tutor to understand why you got them wrong and how to avoid similar errors. This cycle of testing, reflection, and targeted review is one of the most effective ways to improve your score.

Look for tutors with strong physics backgrounds—ideally a degree in physics or engineering, or extensive teaching experience with AP-level students. They should understand the AP exam format deeply, know which topics trip up most students, and be able to explain complex concepts in multiple ways until something clicks. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Provo who have proven success helping students master AP Physics.

Ideally, students begin tutoring in the fall or early winter to have time to build foundational understanding and practice extensively before the May exam. However, even starting in spring can help you focus on weak areas and develop strong test-taking strategies. The key is consistent, focused work—starting earlier gives you more flexibility to revisit difficult topics without rushing.

Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about whether you'll remember formulas or solve problems correctly under pressure. Working through timed practice problems with a tutor builds genuine confidence because you've actually solved similar problems before, and you've practiced managing the clock. Your tutor can also teach you pacing strategies and help you develop a calm, systematic approach to the exam.
