I am an Applied Physics Major with an Emphasis in Mechanical Engineering at Brigham Young University. I love to share the joy I have in the sciences and math to show truly the applications are so far-reaching.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
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 a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
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 am comfortable tutoring math subjects up to multivariable calculus and differential equations, as well as college physics.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism focuses on electrostatics, conductors and insulators, electric circuits, magnetic fields, and electromagnetic induction. The course emphasizes calculus-based problem-solving, requiring students to work with concepts like Coulomb's Law, Gauss's Law, Ampère's Law, and Faraday's Law. Mastering these foundational topics is essential for scoring well on the exam, which tests both conceptual understanding and mathematical application.
Students often struggle with visualizing electric and magnetic fields, applying Gauss's Law and Ampère's Law correctly, and managing the heavy calculus requirements throughout the course. Many find the transition from Mechanics to Electricity and Magnetism conceptually difficult, especially when dealing with vector fields and flux calculations. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps break down these abstract concepts and build confidence in problem-solving techniques.
The exam consists of two 45-minute sections: multiple choice and free response. For multiple choice, aim to spend about 1.5 minutes per question, leaving time to review difficult items. On free response, read all questions first to identify which are most straightforward, then allocate your 90 minutes strategically—typically 15-20 minutes per question depending on complexity. Practice tests under timed conditions are crucial for developing pacing skills and identifying where you tend to lose time.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students typically see meaningful gains—often 1-2 points on the 1-5 scale—when they work consistently with expert tutors to address specific weak areas. For students in Knoxville with access to personalized instruction, the key is identifying whether your challenges are conceptual (understanding field theory) or procedural (applying calculus to physics problems), then targeting practice accordingly. Regular practice tests and targeted review of past FRQ questions accelerate improvement significantly.
Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full-length practice tests over their study period, with the first one early to establish a baseline and the rest spaced throughout your preparation. Between full tests, focus on targeted practice with specific topics or question types where you're weakest. Spacing out your practice tests allows time to review mistakes, learn from them, and apply those lessons to subsequent attempts—a principle called retrieval practice that strengthens long-term retention.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Knoxville who specialize in AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism and understand the specific demands of the exam. When getting matched with a tutor, look for someone with strong physics credentials and proven experience helping students improve their scores. Your first session is a great opportunity to discuss your goals, identify your biggest challenges, and develop a customized study plan leading up to exam day.
Building confidence through repeated practice with similar question types and timed conditions is one of the most effective anxiety-reduction strategies. Working with a tutor allows you to practice explaining your problem-solving process out loud, which reduces the unfamiliarity factor on test day and helps you catch errors before they happen. Additionally, developing a pre-exam routine—reviewing key formulas, doing a few warm-up problems, and getting adequate sleep—helps you approach the exam with a calm, focused mindset.
Your first session with a tutor typically involves discussing your current understanding of AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, identifying your specific challenges (whether it's conceptual gaps, calculus application, or test-taking strategy), and reviewing your goals for the course. The tutor will likely assess your baseline knowledge through questions or a brief diagnostic, then create a personalized study plan tailored to your needs and timeline. This foundation ensures that all future sessions focus directly on the areas where you need the most help.
