Colton
Certified College Physics Tutor
Colton
BA University of Virginia-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

Biomedical engineering at UVA means Colton spent four years where physics meets the human body — modeling forces on prosthetics, analyzing fluid flow through vessels, and applying circuit theory to bioelectrical systems. He also TA'd courses in cell biology and MATLAB, so he's comfortable walking students through both the conceptual reasoning and the computational side of calculus-based physics problems. Rated 4.7 by students.

Michelle
Certified College Physics Tutor
Michelle
BA Trinity University
1+ Years Tutoring

Studying physical therapy at UCD means Michelle regularly applies physics to the human body — analyzing force vectors in joint movement, understanding torque during gait, and calculating work done by muscle groups — which gives her a practical anchor for the mechanics topics that dominate introductory college physics. Her biology degree from Trinity and a 4.8 tutoring rating back up her emphasis on conceptual problem-solving: mapping out the physics of a scenario before plugging anything into an equation.

Jude
BA Colorado School of Mines
5+ Years Tutoring

Studying engineering physics at Colorado School of Mines means Jude is taking the same calculus-based physics courses his students are — mechanics, E&M, waves, thermo — and solving the same style of problems week after week. That proximity to the material keeps his instincts sharp on exactly where a problem setup falls apart, whether it's misidentifying the system in a free-body diagram or botching a line integral through a non-uniform field. He scored a 36 ACT and holds a 4.9 tutoring rating.

Cody
MS Naropa University • BA Colorado School of Mines
9+ Years Tutoring

Few tutors bring the depth of a dedicated Engineering Physics program to college-level physics. Cody tackles topics like Lagrangian mechanics, Maxwell's equations, and quantum fundamentals with the rigor of someone who studied them as core coursework at Colorado School of Mines. He also uses Mathematica to visualize complex systems, which is especially useful for students in calculus-based physics sequences.

Graham
BA University
6+ Years Tutoring

Studying astrophysics and chemistry at CU Boulder means Graham lives inside the calculus-based physics that makes college courses demanding — orbital mechanics, electromagnetic radiation, thermodynamic processes in stellar atmospheres — and carries a 4.0 GPA through it. He breaks problems down by identifying the governing principle first, whether that's a conservation law or a field equation, then walks through the math step by step so the physics stays visible. Rated 5.0 by students.

Evan
BA Colorado State University-Fort Collins
9+ Years Tutoring

Evan's physics degree means he didn't just pass college physics — he kept going, tackling thermodynamics, special relativity, and upper-division mechanics well beyond the introductory sequence. That depth lets him trace a tricky concept like rotational inertia or wave superposition back to the underlying principle instead of just drilling the formula. Rated 5.0 by students.

Samantha
BA Cornell University
1+ Years Tutoring

College-level physics layers calculus and more rigorous problem-solving onto the conceptual foundations from high school, and Samantha's Cornell science background means she's fluent in both the math and the theory. She breaks down topics like rotational dynamics, electric fields, and thermodynamic cycles using visual models and step-by-step dimensional analysis that keep the problem-solving process clear.

Julie
BA Duke University
7+ Years Tutoring

Neuroscience gave Julie a deep working knowledge of the physics that governs biological systems — membrane capacitance, electrical potentials across ion channels, fluid dynamics in neural vasculature — so she brings a concrete, applied lens to college physics topics that other tutors treat purely abstractly. Her strong quantitative background (1480 SAT, dual B.S. in Neuroscience) means she's comfortable walking through the calculus-based derivations in mechanics and E&M without losing sight of what the physics actually describes. Rated 5.0 by students.

Dylan
BA Northwestern University
1+ Years Tutoring

Dylan has taken both college mechanics and electricity/magnetism at Northwestern's engineering school, so he's worked through the exact problem sets — free-body diagrams, circuit analysis, wave optics — that trip up most college physics students. His computer science background also means he's comfortable walking through the math-heavy derivations that make physics click rather than feel like guesswork. Rated 5.0 by students.

Eric
BA Duke University
8+ Years Tutoring

Biomedical engineering at Duke means Eric solves physics problems daily — modeling forces on prosthetic joints, analyzing fluid flow through artificial vessels, calculating electrical signals in biosensors — so the mechanics and electromagnetism in a college physics course map directly onto work he's already doing. He breaks multi-step problems into their physical components first, making sure the reasoning is solid before any math hits the page. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Andrew
PhD Boston University • BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
1+ Years Tutoring

A molecular biology background means Andrew regularly encountered physics in disguise — diffusion rates, membrane potentials, fluid dynamics in biological systems — before his doctoral work added another layer of analytical rigor. He breaks down mechanics and thermodynamics problems by connecting them to tangible phenomena, which makes the abstract math feel less like symbol-pushing. Rated 4.8 by students.

Aidan
BA University of Notre Dame
6+ Years Tutoring

Premed coursework and a computing degree at Notre Dame meant Aidan sat through the full sequence of calculus-based physics — mechanics, E&M, waves — while simultaneously learning to think algorithmically about complex problems. That combination is particularly useful when students hit the wall where physics stops being plug-and-chug and starts requiring multi-step reasoning, like connecting free-body diagrams to energy methods or translating a word problem into the right integral. His 35 ACT speaks to the quantitative fluency he brings to those tougher setups.

Matthew
BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

Running an immunology lab at Columbia University Medical Center means Matthew applies physics daily in ways most tutors haven't — calibrating imaging equipment, analyzing force and pressure data in tissue samples, and troubleshooting instruments that depend on optics and electromagnetism. That hands-on fluency, combined with a physics degree and a 35 ACT, lets him teach college-level mechanics and E&M problems by connecting equations to the physical systems they actually describe.

Pursuing an MD at Stanford after a double major in economics and molecular/cellular biology, Maggie brings a pre-med perspective to college physics that makes topics like optics, fluid dynamics, and wave mechanics feel immediately relevant rather than abstract. She's especially sharp at teaching students to set up problems cleanly — translating a physical scenario into the right free-body diagram or energy equation before doing any math.

He's particularly effective at teaching students to translate a physical scenario into the right mathematical framework, whether that's setting up free-body diagrams in mechanics or applying Gauss's law to symmetric charge distributions.
