Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

I'm an Iowa native who moved to Nashville for graduate school. My background is in the life sciences; I have a Masters from Vanderbilt in Chemical and Physical Biology, and my undergraduate degree is in Biochemistry. However, my education has been well rounded and I have interests in philosophy, literature, writing, and history. I have extensive research experience, and I hope to share my passion for science with students. I have experience mentoring undergraduate students during my graduate school education to help them gain research experience. I am a very patient teacher and have the ability to see problems from the students perspective; my tutoring style adapts to each student's individual needs, but centers on getting each student to come to their solutions rather than following any one formula for success. I have a lot of experience with standardized testing, and have taken multiple AP subject tests in addition to the ACT, SAT, and GRE examinations.

I am a Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology graduate and currently attend Vanderbilt University majoring in Computer Engineering with a minor in Business. I've tutored in various subjects for about 6 years now. I've done it so much, one of the companies I started was tutoring-based. In all, I am a technology-oriented entrepreneur, an impact-driven member of the community, and a striving academic. My passion for computer engineering and dedication to solving the world's problems push me to continue to be better tomorrow than I am today. I am currently pursuing a career in engineering and business where I hope to improve the lives of those around me every step of the way.

As a senior physics major and pre-med student, I am passionate about understanding and teaching the principles behind physics and mathematics. I have been tutoring math and physics through Varsity Tutors for nearly three years, working with students across a range of levels. My goal is to help students not only solve difficult problems, but also develop a deeper understanding of the concepts behind them. I approach tutoring by first identifying where a student's understanding begins to break down. From there, I work with them to rebuild the concept step by step, connecting new ideas to what they already know. I want students to leave each session with greater confidence and the tools to approach future problems independently. Outside of academics, I enjoy climbing, crocheting, baking, and skating. Whether you're looking to master difficult material, preparing for an exam, or building confidence in math and physics, I would be excited to work with you and help you reach your goals.

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 struggle most, whether that's kinematics, circular motion, thermodynamics, or electromagnetic induction. A tutor can break down complex concepts into digestible pieces and connect them to real-world applications, making the material stick.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with tutoring, but students typically see meaningful gains by focusing on weak topics and mastering problem-solving strategies. The AP Physics exam rewards both conceptual understanding and the ability to apply formulas correctly under time pressure—areas where personalized instruction makes a real difference. Most students who work with tutors report feeling significantly more confident tackling free-response questions and multiple-choice problems.
The AP Physics exam requires you to solve complex problems efficiently, and pacing is a common challenge. Tutors can teach you strategic approaches like identifying what information is relevant, choosing the most efficient solution method, and knowing when to move on if you're stuck. Practice with full-length exams under timed conditions helps you develop a feel for how long each section should take, reducing test-day anxiety.
Taking practice tests and reviewing your mistakes is the best way to spot patterns in what you're struggling with—whether it's conceptual gaps, calculation errors, or misunderstanding question formats. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can analyze your practice test results with you, pinpoint exactly where you're losing points, and create a targeted study plan to address those weak spots before exam day.
Free-response questions require you to show your reasoning and work through multi-step problems—skills that are best developed with guided practice and feedback. Tutors can walk you through how to structure your solutions, show your work clearly, and avoid common mistakes that cost points. Regular practice with actual AP free-response prompts, combined with detailed feedback from a tutor, builds the confidence and skill you need to earn full credit.
Starting tutoring 3-4 months before the exam gives you time to build a strong foundation and address weak areas without feeling rushed. Many students benefit from weekly sessions during this period, though your ideal schedule depends on your current understanding and goals. Even a few targeted sessions can help you refine your problem-solving approach and boost your confidence on exam day.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure about your approach to problems. Working with a tutor builds genuine confidence by helping you truly understand the material and develop reliable strategies for tackling different question types. The more comfortable you become solving problems in practice, the calmer and more focused you'll be on exam day.
