Amber
Certified Physics Tutor
Amber
BA Dartmouth College
1+ Years Tutoring

Understanding physics means seeing the same core principles — Newton's laws, conservation of energy, wave behavior — show up in wildly different problems. Amber teaches students to identify which principle applies and how to set up the math, drawing on her strong background in both science and mathematics. Her 5.0 client rating speaks to an approach that makes even tricky free-body diagrams and projectile motion problems feel manageable.

Abrahim
BA University of California Los Angeles • Doctor of Medicine, Premedicine Medical College of Wisconsin
4+ Years Tutoring

Medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin demands a command of mechanics, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics that goes well beyond intro-level physics — Abrahim applies those principles daily in contexts like blood pressure dynamics and respiratory mechanics. His biology degree from UCLA (cum laude) and a 34 ACT underscore the quantitative chops he brings to breaking down force diagrams, energy conservation setups, and multi-step kinematics problems. Rated 5.0 by students.

Karann
BA Cornell University
10+ Years Tutoring

Kinematics, force diagrams, and energy conservation problems all require translating a physical scenario into math — a skill Karann sharpened through her biological engineering degree and her current work modeling ecological systems. She walks students through each physics problem by first building a clear picture of what's happening physically before touching a single equation.

Thomas
BA Carleton College
1+ Years Tutoring

Thomas's math and statistics training at Carleton means the calculus and vector algebra that derail most physics students are second nature to him — so sessions stay focused on the physics itself, not on untangling the math underneath. He's especially sharp at teaching students to translate a messy word problem into a clean free-body diagram or energy equation, then carry the quantitative work through without losing track of what the numbers mean. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Richard
MS Duke University • MS University of Wisconsin Madison
9+ Years Tutoring

Two physics degrees and a master's in atmospheric and space sciences mean Richard doesn't just know the textbook — he's applied Newtonian mechanics, electromagnetism, and fluid dynamics to research-level problems. He unpacks each concept by building it from first principles, so students develop physical intuition alongside the math.

Aaron
PhD The Texas A&M University System Office • BA Missouri University of Science and Technology
10+ Years Tutoring

Aaron's applied math background means he tackles physics problems by unpacking the math behind them — showing why a differential equation describes a spring, or how vector components actually simplify a force diagram. He teaches students to set up problems from first principles rather than hunting for the right formula to plug into. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach translates to real understanding.

Breanna
MS DePaul University • BA University of Wisconsin Madison
6+ Years Tutoring

Breanna's background is in education and counseling rather than engineering or lab science, but she's taught physics alongside math subjects from pre-algebra through calculus — so she knows exactly where the mathematical scaffolding breaks down for students tackling Newton's laws or energy conservation problems. She's especially effective with students who understand the concepts qualitatively but freeze when it's time to set up equations, bridging that gap between intuition and calculation.

Joseph
MS Concordia University Chicago • BA Northwestern University
9+ Years Tutoring

Joseph's background is in education and history, not physics — but his Special Education master's means he's trained to diagnose exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and rebuild it step by step, which matters enormously when a student is lost somewhere between Newton's second law and the free-body diagram they're supposed to draw. He approaches physics problems as reading comprehension exercises first, teaching students to decode what a problem is actually asking before any math happens. Rated 4.8 by students.

1+ Years Tutoring

Studying mechanical engineering means Brendan lives inside physics — free-body diagrams, torque calculations, energy conservation, and fluid dynamics are part of his weekly problem sets. He approaches each topic by sketching the physical setup first, then translating it into math, which is the same process that earns full marks on AP and college-level exams. Rated 5.0 by students.

6+ Years Tutoring

Studying neuroscience at the cellular and molecular level means Rameen lives in the overlap between physics and biology — membrane potentials, diffusion, and electrical signaling all rely on core physics principles. She breaks down kinematics, forces, and energy conservation by tying abstract formulas to tangible, real-world scenarios students can visualize.

Steven
BA University of Missouri-Columbia
9+ Years Tutoring

Steven teaches physics alongside calculus, algebra, and trigonometry, which means he can spot when a student's real obstacle in a force or energy problem isn't the physics — it's the vector components or the trig. That crossover awareness lets him patch the math gap on the spot instead of letting it silently derail every problem set. Rated 5.0 by students.
