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.
Having scored a 1580 SAT and studied computer science, Rishik brings a programmer's discipline to AP Physics C: Mechanics — treating each problem like an algorithm where you define your variables (forces, constraints, coordinate system) before executing the calculus. He also tutors both AP Physics C exams alongside AP Calculus BC, so he's comfortable moving between the electricity side and the mechanics side while keeping the underlying math sharp. Rated 4.6 by students.
Pharmacy school trains you to think in systems — how one variable cascades through an entire mechanism — and Lillian applies that same reasoning to mechanics problems where forces, constraints, and calculus all interact at once. Her prepharmacy science background covers the physics and math rigor AP Physics C demands, and her 34 ACT confirms the quantitative chops to back it up. She's especially effective at teaching students to identify which physical principle governs a problem before touching any equations, rated 4.9 by students.
Double-majoring in physics and computer science at Stony Brook, Kiran lives in the calculus-based mechanics world daily — setting up work-energy integrals, deriving equations of motion, solving the same kinds of problems AP Physics C puts on the free-response section. His 34 ACT and physics coursework give him both the mathematical fluency and the physical intuition to explain why a particular integral applies to a given force scenario, not just how to evaluate it.
Free-body diagrams, rotational inertia, and conservation of energy problems all require calculus-based reasoning that trips students up when they try to rely on formulas alone. Emily completed the full pre-med physics sequence at Cornell and spent her senior year tutoring calculus — two skills that converge directly in AP Physics C: Mechanics. She breaks multi-step problems into the underlying math so students see why the setup matters as much as the answer.
Three years of tutoring introductory physics students while completing dual bachelor's degrees in physics and mathematics — followed by a PhD in Computational Mathematics — means Justin has taught the calculus-based mechanics in AP Physics C from both sides of the chalkboard. He digs into the spots where students typically stall, like setting up angular momentum problems or knowing when a scenario calls for energy methods versus force analysis, and walks through the underlying math until the physics clicks. Rated 5.0 by students.
Bidyut's biomedical engineering coursework at Johns Hopkins fuses calculus-based mechanics with real physical systems — analyzing forces on prosthetic joints, modeling fluid dynamics in arteries — so the Newtonian mechanics and rotational problems on the AP Physics C exam feel like simplified versions of what he already does daily. He scored a 36 ACT and holds a 5.0 tutoring rating, and he's particularly sharp at showing students how to translate a word problem into the correct integral or differential equation before touching any numbers.
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.
Studying Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Princeton, Nicolas solves calculus-based mechanics problems daily that go well beyond what the AP exam asks — rigid body dynamics, energy methods for complex systems, and the vector calculus behind rotational motion. That depth lets him quickly pinpoint whether a student's mistake lives in the physics reasoning or the integral setup, and fix the actual gap. Rated 5.0 by students.
Having earned a BS in both physics and math from Yale, Anthony did the calculus-based mechanics — Lagrangian setups, variable-force integrations, rotational energy derivations — before pivoting to a PhD in economics, which means he teaches the material with the clarity of someone who's already fully digested it rather than still learning alongside students. His 1560 SAT and 5.0 tutoring rating back up what his physics training makes obvious: he can untangle the spots where the calculus and the physical reasoning collide, especially on free-response problems that demand both.
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.
Engineering coursework at Notre Dame means Alexandra is solving calculus-based mechanics problems every week — free-body diagrams with variable forces, work-energy integrals, the full Newton's second law treatment that AP Physics C demands. Her 1530 SAT and 32 ACT point to the quantitative comfort that lets her explain the reasoning behind each setup rather than just walking through formulas. Rated 5.0 by students.
Scoring a 5 on both AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Calculus BC while taking 16 AP courses total, Derek built the habit of connecting calculus tools to physical intuition under real exam pressure — and he brings that same efficiency to tutoring. His computer science major at Harvard sharpens his approach to mechanics problems: decompose the system, identify constraints, then execute the math cleanly, much like debugging code. Rated 4.9 by students, he's particularly effective at teaching the structured problem-solving that turns rotational dynamics and variable-force scenarios into manageable steps.
