Physics is really applied math — and most students who struggle with it are stuck on setting up the problem, not on the physics idea itself. A tutor helps your student draw the diagram, pick the right equation and work through the algebra, step by step.
What we cover in Physics
- Kinematics & motionPosition, velocity and acceleration problems.
- Forces & Newton's lawsFree-body diagrams and net force.
- Energy & momentumConservation laws and collisions.
- Circular motion & gravityCentripetal force and orbits.
- WavesFrequency, wavelength, sound and light basics.
- Electricity & magnetism basicsCharge, current and simple circuits.
Signs your child could use a Physics tutor
- Understands the concepts but cannot set up problems
- Gets stuck on the algebra inside physics problems
- Taking AP Physics or intro college physics
- Lab reports and problem sets are piling up
“Rick has a gift for breaking down complex concepts into manageable pieces … Rick's patience, enthusiasm, and encouragement has helped build my son's confidence in math, and he consistently looks forward to their sessions.”— Ricki Benjamin, parent
How online tutoring works
