I am a mechanical engineering student who is passionate about the propensity for engineering and technology to impact society for the better. I love learning new things and teaching others!

I am an astronomer who spends her days coding in Python and conjuring up equations to fit trends I observe in my spectroscopic data. Currently, I study how stellar environment affects the gaseous disks around baby stars that may be forming planets (Yep & White 2020, The Astrophysical Journal, Volume 889, Issue 1, id. 50). Math, physics, and coding are all part of my job solving mysteries of the Universe! Throughout the year (except during global pandemics), I run Georgia State University's telescopes to show everyone the planets, stars, clusters, and galaxies visible from right here on Earth. Any questions? Ask away!
I am a Biotechnology Master's Student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich. I completed my undergraduate degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2018 while minoring in Biomedical Engineering. My passion is researching novel ways to use ethically derived induced pluripotent stem cells in both research and therapeutic environments, and I love to share my knowledge and excitement for science, math, and language with others.
After an 11-year hiatus, I am excited to return to one-on-one tutoring in high school and college-level precalculus, calculus, and physics. My goal is to build students' confidence in subjects that often feel overwhelming by identifying the root of their challenges - whether it's a forgotten foundational skill or a mismatch in teaching and learning styles - and helping them work through those roadblocks with clarity and patience. I discovered my passion for tutoring in high school through volunteer mentoring and later assisted classmates in physics at my teacher's request. Since then, I have supported students in courses ranging from geometry to upper-level calculus. I am currently tutoring while pursuing my next full-time opportunity, most recently having worked for a railroad construction products supplier.
After teaching for fifteen years from grade six to college level students there is one truth I have learned. Learning can only occur if the student has a point of reference. As teachers we have the responsibility to evaluate our student's level of knowledge and to increase their level of understanding, comprehension, analysis, and diagnosis of the subject we teach. Furthermore, I believe that a teacher is morally obligated to enter the classroom with only the highest of expectations for each and every one of her students. Thus, the teacher maximizes the positive benefits that naturally come along with any self-fulfilling prophecy. With dedication, perseverance, and hard work, her students will rise to the occasion. I aim to bring an open mind, a positive attitude, and high expectations to the classroom each day. I believe that I owe it to my students, as well as the community, to bring consistency, diligence, and warmth to my job in the hope that I can ultimately inspire and encourage such traits in the children as well.
I am a recent graduate of Emory University, where I studied Mathematics and Philosophy. I have over three years of experience tutoring middle-school to high-school students in math, science, and test prep. I think every student learns differently, and the most important job of a tutor is to tailor his or her style of teaching to each student's unique way of thinking.
I am very adaptable. I studied in a foreign country and I have traveled to a lot of places. I have friends from all over the world and I still keep in touch with them. Having dealt with students with different personalities I believe that I can be a good friend to them. Although teaching is my major area of interest, I spend my spare time doing social activities and sports. I am fond of playing table tennis. In addition to all these, I am also interested in cooking and traveling. I believe that I can combine my personal interests with those of a student to better address his/her needs.

I am a graduate from the University of Georgia where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Cognitive Science with a focus on Artificial Intelligence/Computing and Psychology. Throughout College and even in high school, I loved helping my peers and those around me achieve and found myself in many situations where I helped friends in one-on-one or group study sessions as well as joining a plethora of groups and associations that would connect me to students who needed a little extra help. My path in college allowed me to explore many different subjects in a variety of fields, but I find myself most passionate about Life Sciences, all levels of Math, Software Development in Java, Psychology, and Philosophy. I also enjoy aiding in the studying for Standardized Testing as I have always enjoyed the process of test taking and have acquired many skills and tips that could help anyone become a more skilled test taker. I believe education to be a cornerstone in becoming a fulfilled person in life, and this belief is what encourages and motivates me to help others further excel, prosper, and achieve all their goals in life. I believe everyone has the aptitude for learning anything they want, and I want to bring this talent out of all of my students to show them what has been hiding within all along.
I'm a second year Computational Media major at the Georgia Institute of Technology. In essence, my major allows me to combine my passion for both graphic design and coding in a way that will help me to pursue a career where I can create user-friendly code.
I am more than willing to use the online platform provided if that is the best means for us to connect. Every person is different, so each tutoring session will be uniquely tailored to your needs. Helping people succeed is immensely rewarding for me, and I have been tutoring students ever since I was in high school. Initially, I only tutored Physics, but as I progressed through my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry, I began to tutor students in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, as well as Calculus.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Physics covers mechanics, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics through both AP Physics 1 and 2 exams. Each unit builds on foundational concepts, and many students struggle with the mathematical reasoning required to connect theory to problem-solving. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you identify gaps in understanding, work through challenging concepts at your own pace, and develop the problem-solving strategies that appear consistently on the AP exam.
Score improvement depends on your starting point, consistency, and the specific areas you focus on—but most students who work with tutors see meaningful gains by test day. If you're struggling with conceptual understanding, a tutor can help you build a stronger foundation so you're not just memorizing formulas. If you're already scoring well, targeted practice on your weakest topics and test-taking strategies can push you toward a 4 or 5.
The two most common struggles are connecting physics concepts to real-world scenarios and managing the math-heavy problem sets under timed conditions. Many students understand the theory but freeze when they see a multi-step problem or need to choose which formula applies. A tutor can help you practice translating word problems into diagrams and equations, build speed through repeated exposure to question formats, and develop confidence so test anxiety doesn't derail your performance.
Your first session focuses on understanding where you stand. A tutor will review your recent practice tests or homework, ask about which units feel strongest and weakest, and discuss your goals—whether you're aiming for a specific score, need help with a particular unit, or want comprehensive test prep. From there, you'll build a personalized plan that targets your priorities and fits your timeline before the May exam.
Practice tests are essential for AP Physics because they reveal both knowledge gaps and pacing issues you won't discover through homework alone. Taking full-length, timed practice tests helps you get comfortable with the exam format, identify which question types trip you up, and build stamina for test day. A tutor can review your practice test results with you, pinpoint patterns in your mistakes, and focus your study sessions on the areas that will have the biggest impact on your score.
Timing is one of the toughest parts of AP Physics because you need to solve complex problems quickly while showing your work clearly. The key is practicing with a timer regularly so you develop a feel for how long each question type should take, and learning to skip and return to harder problems instead of getting stuck. A tutor can help you develop a personalized pacing strategy based on your strengths, teach you shortcuts for common problem types, and build your confidence through timed practice sessions.
Look for tutors with strong backgrounds in physics—ideally including college-level coursework or teaching experience—and proven success helping students prepare for AP exams. Experience with the specific AP Physics exam format and knowledge of common student misconceptions matter just as much as subject knowledge. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who understand the AP curriculum deeply and know how to break down difficult concepts in ways that actually stick.
Atlanta's diverse school districts mean students have varying levels of AP Physics preparation and access to resources. Personalized tutoring levels the playing field by giving you expert instruction tailored to your school's curriculum and your individual learning style, regardless of which Atlanta high school you attend. Your tutor can also help you connect with official College Board resources, recommend high-quality practice materials, and adjust your study plan based on your teacher's emphasis and pacing.
