A chemical and biomolecular engineering degree means Steve spent years applying thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and electromagnetism to real systems — the same core principles that drive AP Physics 1 and 2. He's particularly sharp at teaching students how to connect free-body diagrams to Newton's laws and energy bar charts to conservation principles, building the kind of physical intuition the exam's qualitative questions demand. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
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 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'm available to tutor biology, chemistry, physics, math from Algebra up through AP Calculus, SAT test prep, and French. I've been tutoring students in science and math for 7 years. I also spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not working or studying, I love playing volleyball (indoors or on the beach!) and spending time outside, canoeing or hiking with my dog. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
I am a rising senior at Harvard College pursuing an AB in Government. Academically, I have diverse interests, including history, language, math, physics, philosophy, music, and politics. In high school, I tutored elementary, middle, and high school students in music, math, ACT and SAT prep, and Spanish. At Harvard, I spent a year as a course assistant in the math department, helping to teach introductory undergraduate calculus. Currently, I volunteer with the Leadership Institute at Harvard College (LIHC) as part of its Social Outreach Committee. This work involves teaching a weekly course called "Fundamentals of Leadership" to a class of middle school students. Overall, I have found my experiences tutoring math to be the most rewarding.
I'm a freshman at Stanford University pursuing a degree in mathematical and computational science. I've been tutoring students from grades 3-12 throughout high school, and I look forward to continue in college. Nothing excites me more than learning something new, and I strive to share my excitement with my tutees.
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.
I am current master's student pursuing an advanced degree in environmental engineering. I have about 3 years of experience tutoring a standard math and science curricula to students ranging in age from 7-17. I attended college at Washington University in St. Louis receiving a degree in mechanical engineering and energy engineering in 2020. During my time there, I worked as a teaching assistant for several different engineering courses, tutoring students outside of class in the calculus and physics related topics. As someone that benefitted greatly from tutors and teaching assistants, I really love being able to help students that are struggling in certain areas. I am able to help with standardized tests, focusing on math and science sections, AP Calculus and AP Physics exams, and high school math.
I'm Dennis. I study physics, math, and computer science. I have done research about cosmic ray acceleration at supernova shock fronts in the Princeton University Department of Astrophysics, simulating how the turbulent plasmas push protons and ions. I have also worked at the Norfolk State University Department of Engineering, designing, simulating, optimizing, and building light filters for wavelength-division optical-electronic multiplexers. Another field I study is the mathematics of quasicrystals and aperiodic tilings, such as the Penrose tiling of rhombuses.
I am an undergraduate of the Johns Hopkins University, majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science. I have years of experience tutoring and teaching math and various sciences from an elementary to a college level. I primarily tutor college level courses such as physics and biochemistry, but also have extensive experience in social sciences, biology, and higher mathematics such as Calculus and Differential Equations. I believe that demonstrating the various real-world applications of a given concept is the best method to increase a student's understanding.
I am a current (though almost graduated) student in Chemical Engineering at Georgia Tech. I absolutely love teaching and tutoring, and I have 3 years experience tutoring and just over a year's experience in being a teacher's assistant. I am passionate about math and science, and I love helping people understand new material. Learning is something I have always loved, and I want to share that passion with others.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Physics covers two main tracks: AP Physics 1 (algebra-based) and AP Physics 2 (algebra-based continuation), or AP Physics C (calculus-based). Both include mechanics, waves, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics. The specific topics and depth depend on which AP Physics course you're taking, so it's helpful to align your tutoring focus with your school's curriculum and exam date.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with tutoring. Students who work with tutors typically see gains through targeted practice on weak topics, better problem-solving strategies, and increased confidence with complex concepts. Most students benefit from starting tutoring several months before the exam to build a solid foundation and practice full-length tests.
Students often struggle with translating word problems into physics equations, understanding when to apply different concepts, and managing time during the exam. Many also find the free-response section challenging because it requires both calculation skills and clear explanations of reasoning. Personalized tutoring helps you identify your specific weak areas and develop strategies to address them.
Effective strategies include reading questions carefully to identify what's being asked, sketching diagrams for complex problems, and practicing time management by doing full-length practice tests under timed conditions. Tutors can help you develop a personalized approach based on whether you tend to rush through calculations or spend too much time on difficult problems. Working through released AP exams and reviewing mistakes is one of the best ways to refine your strategy.
Ideally, you should complete at least 3-4 full-length practice tests under timed conditions in the weeks leading up to the exam. This gives you a realistic sense of pacing, helps you identify remaining weak areas, and builds test-day confidence. Between full tests, targeted practice on specific topics or question types is equally important for reinforcing concepts and improving accuracy.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in AP Physics and understand the specific demands of the exam. You can get matched with a tutor who fits your schedule and learning style, whether you need help with mechanics, electricity, or test-taking strategies. The matching process considers your goals and timeline so you can start making progress right away.
Ideally, tutoring should begin at least 3-4 months before the exam to allow time for building foundational understanding and practicing problem-solving. If you're struggling with specific topics during the school year, starting earlier can help you keep up with your class while also preparing for the exam. Even a few weeks of focused tutoring can help you review key concepts and refine your test strategy.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure about your problem-solving approach. Working with a tutor builds confidence through mastery of difficult concepts and repeated practice with exam-style questions. As you develop stronger skills and see improvement on practice tests, your anxiety typically decreases, allowing you to perform at your best on exam day.
