A PhD in Chemistry from the University of Chicago plus a bachelor's in physics from Lafayette College means Mary has graduate-level depth on both halves of a physical science course — she's not stretching from one discipline into the other. She unpacks topics like chemical bonding and Newton's laws by tracing them back to the underlying principles, then builds outward to show how those ideas connect across units so students see one coherent subject instead of two unrelated ones.

Statistics might seem unrelated to physical science, but Alex's coursework in economics and quantitative analysis at Cornell built exactly the kind of data interpretation and unit-reasoning skills that physical science leans on — reading graphs, converting measurements, and making sense of experimental results. He tackles the chemistry and physics blend by treating each concept like a problem set: isolate the variables, understand the relationship, then apply it.

A master's degree in chemistry means Shawn already owns half the physical science curriculum outright — atomic structure, chemical reactions, properties of matter — and his teaching load in physics, trigonometry, and calculus shows he's equally comfortable with the quantitative mechanics side. He digs into the math behind force and energy problems rather than hand-waving past equations, which gives students the tools to actually solve multi-step problems instead of guessing at formulas. Rated 4.9 by students.

Biomedical engineering at Boston University and Tufts required Varuna to master both the physics and chemistry sides of physical science — forces, energy, thermodynamics, material properties — and apply them to real medical device problems. That engineering lens means she teaches concepts like wave behavior or Newton's laws by grounding them in how things actually work, from ultrasound imaging to the mechanics of a prosthetic limb. Rated 4.9 by students, she's especially strong at breaking down the math embedded in physical science problems.

Between TAing chemistry courses and earning a doctorate in biomedical sciences, Maggie has spent years applying the physics and chemistry concepts that physical science weaves together — from thermodynamics and energy conservation to how materials behave under stress. She draws on hands-on lab and engineering experience to walk through problems like heat transfer or atomic bonding with concrete examples instead of just definitions. Her MATLAB and calculus background also means she's comfortable breaking down the quantitative side when equations enter the picture.

Brandon's biomedical engineering degree required him to work through the full physics-chemistry gauntlet — mechanics, circuits, thermodynamics, material properties — and then apply it to biological systems, which is essentially physical science with higher stakes. He unpacks topics like energy conservation or chemical bonding by showing how they function inside real engineering problems, turning abstract textbook ideas into something concrete and useful. Rated 5.0 by students.

Between a neuroscience degree from Johns Hopkins and completing medical school at Drexel, Prateek sat through more physics and chemistry than most people encounter in a lifetime — and physical science draws from exactly that overlap. He unpacks topics like atomic structure, forces, and energy conservation by rooting them in how the body actually uses these principles, turning a lesson on electrical charge into a discussion of how neurons fire. That clinical context makes abstract formulas feel immediate and worth remembering.

Between a pre-med degree at Penn State and medical school at Jefferson, Jamie has taken every foundational physics and chemistry course that physical science draws from — and learned to simplify the material using analogies that make abstract ideas like wave behavior or conservation of energy feel intuitive. He leans on real-life comparisons (how a car crash illustrates momentum, how cooking demonstrates heat transfer) to give students concrete mental models they actually remember. Rated 4.6 by students.

I am currently an adjunct professor of chemistry at a small liberal arts college in the Chicago area. Previously, I worked in the chemical industry for several years as a researcher, but I've found that the most satisfying moments have come when I am able to share my expertise with someone else. Similarly, I very much enjoyed the four semesters in the graduate school when I was a teaching assistant. It gave me the opportunity to work with students and help them develop an understanding for the subject. These are the primary reasons that I have decided to go into teaching. Hobbies: reading, gardening, music, writing, art, books

Matthew's graduate work in Educational Measurement and Statistics at USF trained him to think in variables, controls, and data interpretation — skills that translate directly to physical science topics like experimental design, energy calculations, and analyzing how forces produce measurable changes. His psychology degree from Johns Hopkins also required foundational chemistry and physics coursework, so he's comfortable on both sides of the discipline. Rated 4.8 by students.
