Award-Winning AP Physics C: Mechanics Tutors
serving Memphis, TN

I'm pursuing a double major in Mathematics and English at Vanderbilt University. I have been tutoring math since High School and have native proficiency in Mandarin Chinese. I am dedicated to helping students explore the study methods that will fit their individual needs.

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.

Most pre-med students avoid the calculus-heavy physics — Manideep leans into it, tackling AP Physics C: Mechanics alongside his biological sciences coursework at Northwestern, where he also TAs in the sciences. He breaks down conservation of energy and momentum problems by starting with the physical scenario and building the integral from there, so students learn a repeatable process instead of hunting for the right formula. Rated 5.0 by students.

Chemical engineering grad work at ASU Barrett means Alex solves calculus-based mechanics problems daily — from force balances on fluid systems to energy integrals across reactors — and that fluency translates directly to the kinematics, work-energy, and rotational dynamics on the AP Physics C: Mechanics exam. He also tutors AP Calculus BC and SAT Math (1560 SAT), so when a student's free-response answer falls apart, he can quickly isolate whether it's the physics reasoning or the integration technique that needs fixing. Rated 5.0 by students.

Steven's biology degree from Drexel included the calculus-based physics sequence that maps directly onto AP Physics C: Mechanics — kinematics, Newton's laws in differential form, and energy conservation problems that demand clean integral setups. Where many science-track tutors skim the mechanics, his organismal physiology concentration meant applying force and motion concepts to biological systems, giving him a concrete way to explain why a free-body diagram matters before any calculus happens. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a graduate of Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with Distinction in 2015. Since graduation, I was a physics/chemistry teacher and soccer coach at a private school in Virginia for a year, where I led the soccer team to an undefeated season. Before teaching and coaching professionally, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Cornell Math and Physics Departments, where I taught many subjects including calculus, mechanics, electromagnetism. Throughout my time at Cornell and as a teacher, I tutored subjects ranging from the SAT to AP Physics and Algebra II, which is where my true talents lie: in small group or one-on-one settings where I can give students the full attention they deserve and tailor my approach specifically to their learning styles. This is why I am now pursuing tutoring as a part-time occupation at Varsity Tutors. I embrace teaching all math and science subjects, especially physics and calculus, at both the college and high school level and will go above and beyond to make sure all of my students succeed, according to their definition of success. In my spare time, I enjoy playing league soccer, basketball, tennis and guitar, and also like to travel and see as much of the world as I can.

Biophysics at Rice means Aadith solves mechanics problems where the calculus isn't optional — modeling forces on protein structures, analyzing torque in molecular motors, applying Newton's laws to systems most students never picture in a physics classroom. That cross-disciplinary lens gives him a knack for teaching students how to read a physical scenario and decide whether to reach for an energy integral or a force-based differential equation. His 1590 SAT underscores the mathematical precision he brings to every free-response setup.

Bettina didn't just study mechanics in a textbook — she earned a PhD in mechanical engineering, meaning she's derived equations of motion for real systems where assumptions about friction, constraints, and rigid-body approximations actually matter. That depth shows up when she teaches AP Physics C: Mechanics topics like rotational dynamics and gravitational potential energy, because she can explain not just how to set up the integral but why that particular model fits the physical situation.

Biology majors at Cornell don't usually seek out calculus-based physics — but Drishti's 1500 SAT and her comfort across both AP Calculus BC and AP Physics C suggest she genuinely clicks with the quantitative side of science, not just the biological. She's especially useful for students who need someone to slow down on the free-body-diagram-to-integral pipeline, translating the physical setup into the calculus without assuming steps are obvious. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having TA'd multiple engineering courses at WashU while earning dual degrees in mechanical and energy engineering, Ava spent semesters breaking down the same calculus-based force analysis, work-energy theorems, and rotational dynamics that define the AP Physics C: Mechanics curriculum. Her 35 ACT speaks to the quantitative precision she brings to exam prep, and her current graduate work in environmental engineering keeps her fluent in the applied physics and differential equations students encounter on test day.

Twenty-five years teaching physics in Massachusetts public schools means Jacques has watched thousands of students hit the same walls on AP Physics C — and he knows exactly how to dismantle them, particularly around variable-force problems and the calculus of rotational inertia. His Princeton chemical engineering degree built the mathematical backbone, but it's the decades of classroom reps that sharpened his ability to explain why you set up the integral that way, not just how to evaluate it. Rated 4.8 by students.

Rachel's business economics major might not scream physics, but her 35 ACT and deep math background — she tutors through AP Calculus BC — mean she's comfortable with the calculus-based problem-solving that Mechanics demands. She approaches kinematics and force problems the way an economics student would: set up the model carefully, define your variables, then let the math do the work.

Biochemistry might seem unrelated to mechanics, but Shira's coursework in physics and calculus — plus a 1550 SAT — means she's built the quantitative chops to handle the kinematics, force analysis, and integration problems that define AP Physics C. She approaches mechanics the way she approaches lab work: isolate the variables, set up the math carefully, then check whether the answer makes physical sense. Rated 4.9 by students.

Biomedical engineering throws you into calculus-based mechanics from day one — Spencer's coursework has him modeling forces on biological systems using the same Newtonian framework and integral setups that AP Physics C tests on free-response problems. His 35 ACT and parallel teaching across both AP Calculus BC and AP Physics C mean he can diagnose whether a student's stuck on the physics concept or the calculus execution, and address the right one.
