serving Kalamazoo, MI

Four years teaching undergraduate physics labs at the University of Michigan — especially courses designed for non-STEM majors — taught Michael how to strip intimidating topics like electromagnetism, circuits, and wave optics down to their physical intuition before layering the math back on. His PhD research deepened that fluency across the full spectrum of college physics, from introductory mechanics through advanced electrodynamics and special relativity. Rated 4.7 by students.

Studying mechanical engineering at Yale means Andrew's daily coursework runs on calculus-based physics — statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics — so the concepts in a college physics sequence are ones he's actively applying, not distantly remembering. He breaks down force and energy problems by starting with the physical setup and constraints before touching an equation, a habit drilled into him by engineering design courses where skipping that step means your bridge collapses. His 1550 SAT reflects the quantitative precision he brings to problem solving.

As a premed at Cornell, Pratik takes the same calculus-based physics sequence his students are grinding through — mechanics, waves, thermodynamics, E&M — which means he knows exactly which problem types show up on exams and where the conceptual gaps tend to hide. He breaks down force diagrams and energy conservation problems step by step, connecting the math to the physical intuition that makes solutions click rather than feel like formula hunts. His 35 ACT reflects the kind of sharp quantitative reasoning that translates directly to tackling multi-concept physics problems.

Every problem in calculus-based physics starts with the same question: what are the forces, and how do they interact? Lane's mechanical engineering degree means he spent years answering that question across statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and material behavior — not as textbook exercises but as design constraints for systems that actually need to work. He breaks down free-body diagrams and energy methods with the practicality of someone who's had to get the physics right before anything gets built.
