Having gone through the IB programme at Plano — one of the more rigorous IB programs in Texas — Kinjal understands the specific pain points of SL Physics, from wave-particle duality to the data-response questions that trip students up on Paper 2. Her biology degree required extensive physics coursework, so she's comfortable moving between mechanics, thermal physics, and electricity. She tackles each topic by tying equations back to the physical intuition behind them.

Working in an experimental condensed matter lab at the University of Maryland means Remington spends his days doing exactly what IB Physics SL asks students to practice — designing experiments, analyzing data, and connecting mathematical models to physical behavior. He brings that lab fluency directly into tutoring, especially for the internal assessment where students need to demonstrate real experimental reasoning. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am applying to medical schools to attend Fall 2016 and I like to play basketball, go backpacking and volunteer with youth in my free time.

I am not someone who is satisfied when a student memorizes steps to solve a problem. I always want the student to understand what he/she is doing and why they are doing. This insight will make them a stronger, faster and better student, particularly in the field of mathematics. This brings the student long term results that could extend far beyond the work done in the tutoring sessions. Mathematics is my love and economics is my passion and because of this I bring incredible enthusiasm for the subject to my work. I bring the beauty of mathematics into my explanations, through theoretical and visual interpretations. In my spare time I like to paint and run.

A mathematical physics degree means Lauren didn't just take physics courses — she lived in the space where differential equations and physical theory overlap, which is exactly the kind of dual fluency IB Physics SL rewards on Paper 2's multi-step problems. She breaks down topics like projectile motion and circuit analysis by starting with the math structure underneath, then connecting it back to the intuition the IB expects students to articulate. Her 4.5 rating and 1560 SAT speak to that ability to make rigorous material click.

Studying electrical engineering at Columbia while following a premed track means Zhenrui encounters the same mechanics, electricity, and wave concepts tested on the SL exam — but applied to circuit design and biomedical systems, which gives him a concrete way to explain why each principle matters beyond the formula sheet. His 36 ACT reflects the kind of precise, timed problem-solving that Paper 2 demands, and he teaches students to diagnose what a question is actually asking before committing to a solution path.

Chemical engineering at Barrett Honors College means Abby solves problems rooted in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and energy transfer every semester — the same physics principles that anchor the SL syllabus. Her IB exam prep experience gives her a sharp sense of how Paper 2 questions are structured, so she teaches students to identify which core concept a problem is really testing before reaching for an equation. Rated 5.0 by students.

Kinematics equations and circuit analysis in IB Physics SL trip students up when they try to memorize formulas without understanding the physical scenario behind each problem. Diptesh tackles this by teaching students to draw the situation first — free-body diagrams, energy bar charts, wave sketches — before touching any math. His dual science-and-math background means he can bridge the gap between the conceptual reasoning and the calculations the IB expects.

Supplemental Instruction at Auburn meant Micaela wasn't just answering questions — she was diagnosing in real time why a room full of students couldn't connect Newton's second law to the problem on the board, then rebuilding the explanation on the spot. That skill translates directly to SL Physics, where students often know the equations but freeze when a Paper 2 question presents an unfamiliar context. Her zoology background also means she's comfortable with the thermodynamics and wave concepts that bridge physics and the life sciences.

Kimberly's biology degree from UNC Chapel Hill required substantial physics coursework — mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity — which means she's worked through the same core concepts the SL syllabus tests, just applied to biological systems. She teaches students to read IB data-response questions like a scientist: identify variables, check units, then match the scenario to the right equation. Rated 4.9 by students.

Having earned her bachelor's in physics, Payal knows the IB Physics SL syllabus inside out — from mechanics and waves to the data-analysis skills the IA demands. She walks students through how to set up free-body diagrams and energy bar charts so that multi-step problems become systematic instead of overwhelming.

IB Physics SL packs mechanics, waves, and energy concepts into a framework that also demands strong data-analysis skills on Paper 2. Rishi's engineering background at NYU means he's comfortable connecting kinematic equations and free-body diagrams to real systems, and he walks students through the IB-specific command terms — "deduce," "estimate," "outline" — that trip up even strong physics students on exams.

Holding a Ph.D. in physics gives Muhammed a depth of understanding that lets him trace every SL topic — from kinematics to thermal physics to wave phenomena — back to the fundamental principles that make each equation meaningful rather than arbitrary. He teaches students to deconstruct Paper 2 problems by identifying which core law governs the scenario before touching the data booklet, a habit that builds confidence on multi-step questions. Rated 4.6 by students.
