Miriam
PhD Duke University • BA Duke University
9+ Years Tutoring

I'm a passionate explorer, educator, and scientist. I am a Planetary Science Researcher (PhD, 2008). I write grants to NASA to use spacecraft data to study the composition and evolution of rocky planetary bodies (Moon, Mercury, asteroids). My research is broad and interdisciplinary that equips me to tutor many subjects and also to show students connections between subjects when it improves subject mastery. I have been teaching and tutoring for over twenty years, at every level of my education and career. In high school I taught aerospace education and aviation search and rescue while I earned my pilot's license. As an undergraduate at Duke I tutored athletes in Geology, Calculus, and Electrical Engineering core courses and I was a teaching assistant for Computer Science and Linear Circuits Laboratory. In graduate school I was a teaching assistant in geology. And as a professor, I've taught undergraduate and graduate science courses at a major U.S. research university. Most recently I designed a combined English and Engineering elective to students with limited English Proficiency at a small university in Colombia.

I am one year from completing my Bachelor of Science at the Florida Institute of Technology. I am majoring in both Astronomy and Astrophysics, as well as Planetary Science; with a minor in Computer Science. Upon completion of my Bachelor degree I plan on pursuing a Masters degree, most likely in Physics, Exoplanetary Studies, or Engineering Physics. I find that most students struggle in math and physics because they lack true engagement towards these topics, it is my personal philosophy that how you learn a subject can immensely impact your abilities to succeed in and willingness to pursue related subjects in your academic career. I enjoy working with all ages, as I believe it is never too late to start learning and I enjoy helping students become passionate about their studies. Personally; I am passionate about the fundamental interplay between foundational mathematics and its applications to higher-level physics. My tutoring style/strategies require interactive engagement with students and honest communication; this allows me to understand precisely what is necessary to enhance your learning experience, and encourages students to engage with the content with curiosity and excitement. I feel comfortable tutoring subjects ranging from elementary school mathematics, up to college level mathematics and physics courses. I have experience tutoring my college peers in a wide-range of topics from college algebra and calculus to advanced physics courses such as Electromagnetic Theory and Physical Mechanics.

I'm not shy, but if you are it's ok I once was too. I'm a student of the mind and so all of my teachings will be tailored toward each individual or group traits that day. It's ok to fail, but don't allow yourself to quit. Learning is hard sometimes because everyone's brain understands things in a different way. But those differences, when explored, can make learning fun and make complex topics easier to understand. I'm not the old guy who loves hearing his own voice and likes to stand; so I don't lecture. I like to keep teaching/learning process fun, interactive, and creative because no one likes to be bored and confused. So involvement is key!

I am currently conducting breast cancer research as the lab manager in an immunology lab at Columbia University Medical Center. I am extremely comfortable with physics and mathematics (from my studies) as well as biology, chemistry, and biochemistry (through my research experience) and sincerely enjoy tutoring students in those areas. I also enjoy tutoring for standardized tests. While I was studying for the SAT, ACT, and MCAT, all of my preparation was through self-study; as a result, I have a unique approach to preparing for tests that emphasizes knowing the test itself more than the actual material. In addition to tutoring natural sciences and standardized test prep, I tutor Spanish, which I studied for 7 years and spoke for a year while living in Spain. In my spare time, I play guitar, cook for my friends, read, and play with my cat Suki.

Frequently Asked Questions

AP Physics covers mechanics, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics—a broad range of concepts that build on each other. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you focus on the areas where you're struggling most, whether that's understanding force and motion, circuit analysis, or quantum concepts. A tutor can break down complex topics into digestible pieces and connect abstract ideas to real-world applications, making the material stick.

Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students who work with tutors typically see meaningful gains—often 1-2 points on the AP scale. The key is identifying your weak areas early and practicing consistently. Tutors help you target high-impact topics, master problem-solving techniques, and build confidence on exam day, all of which contribute to a stronger score.

Many students struggle with the math-heavy problem solving, especially multi-step questions that require connecting concepts across units. Others find it hard to visualize abstract concepts like electric fields or wave behavior. Time management during the exam is another major pain point—students often rush through free-response questions or misread what's being asked. Tutors help you develop systematic problem-solving strategies, strengthen conceptual understanding, and practice pacing so you feel confident on test day.

Practice tests are essential—they show you exactly what the real exam format looks like and reveal your weak spots before it matters. The best approach is to take full-length practice tests under timed conditions, then review every question you missed to understand why. Tutors can help you analyze your practice test results, identify patterns in your mistakes, and create a targeted study plan to address those gaps before test day.

Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unfamiliar with question formats. The antidote is practice and mastery—the more problems you solve correctly, the more confident you become. Tutors help by walking you through challenging problems repeatedly, explaining the reasoning behind each step, and building your problem-solving toolkit. This repeated success builds genuine confidence, and knowing you've practiced similar questions reduces anxiety on exam day.

Ideally, begin serious exam prep 8-12 weeks before the test, though consistent work throughout the school year is even better. Most students need 100-150 hours of focused study to master the material and feel confident. A tutor can help you structure that time efficiently—prioritizing topics, spacing out practice, and adjusting your study plan based on your progress so you're not cramming at the last minute.

Look for tutors with strong physics backgrounds—ideally a degree in physics, engineering, or a related field, plus proven experience teaching AP-level material. They should understand the AP exam format, know which topics appear most frequently, and have strategies for helping students overcome common misconceptions. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have demonstrated mastery of AP Physics and a track record of helping students improve their scores.

Your first session is about assessment and planning. The tutor will likely review your current understanding, ask about your goals, and identify which topics are most challenging for you. They'll explain their teaching approach and work through a problem or concept with you to establish a baseline. This gives you both a clear picture of where to focus your efforts and helps you feel comfortable with the tutoring process before diving into intensive prep.
