I'm Dr. Elliot Schneider, and I want to help you learn physics (and math too)! Since completing my PhD in physics, I've been exploring ways to help more people learn more science. I'm currently splitting my time between creating free physics video lessons on YouTube (search for "Physics with Elliot"), and tutoring students one-on-one. If you're in need of help with your math or physics classes--or related test preparation--don't hesitate to reach out. I've been teaching and tutoring physics and math for 15 years, and I've worked with a huge range of students during that time. I've been the head instructor for the introductory physics class at Harvard Summer School the past three years, and between my time at Harvard as a PhD student and Caltech as an undergraduate I've worked as a TA for 10 classes ranging from introductory physics to advanced quantum mechanics, all with very strong student reviews and several teaching awards. If you're a high school student looking for help with your first physics class or struggling with a tough math class, or if you're a college student looking to deepen your understanding of more advanced topics, or if you're a post-bac student brushing up on math and physics before it's time to take the MCAT, I'm here to help.

During my time as an undergraduate at Harvard, I have received multiple awards for excellence as an Economics teacher. My past courses covered topics ranging from simple linear regressions to prediction with big data using Principal Component Analysis. I have also taught students to work with data in R and Stata. Additionally, I have taught courses in game theory, conflict resolution, and negotiation, and I am the lead author of Understanding Others through Negotiation, a curriculum that enables high school and college students globally to learn the core tenets of emotional, social, and identity-based negotiation. Most importantly, I am a huge believer in the importance of learning and building a strong intuition. To that end, here are some excerpts from previous Harvard students' reviews of me as a teacher: "Lucas is absolutely phenomenal!!! I wish I could give him an even more positive review - he's by far the best teacher I've ever had. He does such an amazing job of taking really complex topics and distilling them down to much more simple concepts to ensure his students understand them, and he uses his perspective as a former student in the course to identify the areas in which students need the most help. Lucas clearly cares so much about his students, and he would always leave me feeling confident about my understanding of the material!" "Lucas is the most dedicated teacher I have seen; he went out of his way to help us learn the material well and was always accessible. He was very enthusiastic, clear, and effective in his teaching. In his class, I felt that I was in safe hands!" "Lucas is an outstanding teacher and the best I have encountered at the Harvard economics department. He knows how to break down complexity, and he is caring and always makes sure we understand before moving on to a new topic. A real privilege to learn from him this semester!" "Lucas is an excellent and thoughtful teacher. He thoroughly understands Econometrics and can break it down into digestible pieces that facilitate deeper understanding by his students." "I think that anyone would be lucky to learn from, and with, Lucas, and I feel so fortunate to have had him as my instructor."

Hi! My name is Rachel, and I am a post-doc at the University of Arizona. I have spent 4 semesters as a private tutor associated with the university's physics department. Before that, I worked as a teaching assistant for 3 semesters. My approach is based in asking questions and helping students learn how to answer them confidently. I also try to help students build problem-solving methods that work for them. As an example, for teaching Gauss' Law I might ask "what does dA mean?" and we might come up with a series of steps to set up the integral. Repetition and practice make hard problems easier! My tutoring focuses on introductory physics courses and E&M courses.

I'm currently completing my PhD in Neuroscience at Harvard Medical School. I received by BA from Harvard University, where I studied Neuroscience and Computer Science, with a minor in Chemistry. I received a Master's in Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge as a Churchill Scholar. I have experience teaching computer science, biology, chemistry, statistics, and data science. I was a part of the teaching staff for Harvard’s organic chemistry and biochemistry classes for two years. As one of the only undergraduate teaching fellows, I not only held office hours, but created my own lesson plans for discussion sections complete with color-coded diagrams for the trickiest concepts in chemistry, and often met with students one-on-one for extra guidance. I received very positive student reviews and several teaching awards from Harvard’s Derek Bok Center for Teaching. I absolutely love teaching and am passionate about helping students tackle complex concepts to build a deeper understanding of challenging material. I’m skilled at helping with challenging material: I’ve taken a wide range of both undergraduate and graduate level coursework in biology, math, chemistry, computer science, and statistics and maintained a 3.97 GPA. I’m a winner of two of the world’s top international fellowships to complete an MPhil and PhD in the UK—the Churchill Scholarship and the Gates Cambridge Scholarship—and have several scientific publications in computational biology and biochemistry. If you’re a high school student looking for help in your AP science classes, or a college/post-bac student hoping to stay on track with your classes, I’m here to help!

Are you struggling in a difficult course and need some guidance? I typically work with high school and college students primarily in math, physics, chemistry, and statistics. I have a BS in math and physics from Yale and a PhD in statistical physics from Harvard. I'm excellent at being able to explain challenging concepts to people of all levels and abilities. I'm highly experienced: I’ve tutored over 4000 hours since 2020 alone. I focus on problem solving (including proofs in proof-based courses) to help you develop your skills. I have a variety of different styles of teaching that can be customized to the way you learn best. My sessions are very efficient, but I can slow down when needed to, for example, understand how you are thinking about a concept so I can figure out what you are missing, or to explain a concept with which you are having difficulty. I really enjoy helping people! I’m able to help with challenging material: my undergraduate GPA was 3.94 and my graduate GPA was 3.97. I was one of 4 US students chosen to attend the International Chemistry Olympiad, and was top 20 at the US Physics Olympiad and top 50 at the US Math Olympiad. I can help in a variety of scenarios, whether you are struggling or are looking to excel or for a deeper understanding, if you are preparing for AP exams or SAT / GRE / GMAT / MCAT, or are preparing for competitions such as the AMC or AIME, F=ma, or the Chemistry Olympiad. I also frequently have students who just want to learn something new or are planning to go back to school in a new subject and need to review. Feel free to reach out and we can discuss the situation!

Hi! I am a YouTube Educator, Organic Chemistry tutor, and part time Volleyball instructor at Boston University! Have you ever sat in lecture and feel like you learned almost nothing? Did you know that by sitting in lectures you only retain about 5% of the 1 hour lecture?! In my tutoring sessions I teach you, and then you become the teacher and explain it back to me. I run the YouTube channel - Frank Wong / OrgoMadeEasy which has almost 5 million views and 45,000 subscribers. I have tutored students in-person and over Skype/Zoom at 50+ Universities in the U.S, Canada, England, Saudia Arabia, and Australia. I absolutely love tutoring and my goal is to help bridge the knowledge gap between college professors and students. In every one of my tutoring sessions I try to show my students how fun, simple, and fascinating Organic Chemistry can be. My tutoring style is very active and engaging as described by many of my students. I make sure that rather than it being just another lecture, it is a stimulating session that involves plenty of dialogue and critical thinking. If you would like to see a snippet of my teaching style, just find my free Orgo Made Easy video tutorials on YouTube. Having gone through the standard premed track in college, I experienced firsthand how grueling and tough it is. At first, I struggled so much with courses, like General Chemistry, Biology, Organic Chemistry, and Physics, but then, when I began tutoring the subjects, I began seeing the big picture, and it was as if the missing piece of a puzzle just clicked into place for me, and it all made sense. Ever since, it has been my passion to pass on all that I know to students and help them learn the material in a fraction of the time it took me and discover their full potential.

From my undergraduate days at University of Connecticut where I studied both biology and psychology to the my PhD studies at the University of Pittsburgh, I have been lucky enough to learn from great teachers and to extend the knowledge to 100s and 100s of students over the years. Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow jointly mentored by Bernardo Sabatini and Beth Stevens at Harvard Medical School, Boston Children's Hospital and the Broad Institute. With the support of the NIMH, Hearst Foundation, Tommy Fuss Fellowship and the Stanley Center at the Broad Institute, I have the privilege of working with a dynamic team of scientists focused on the biological mechanisms driving neuropsychiatric disease. In addition to my research pursuits, I have dedicated myself to teaching and mentoring. I have served as a teaching fellow for several courses at University of Pittsburgh and Harvard University; including the head teaching fellow position for the introduction to neuroscience course. In addition to these roles, I have worked closely with graduate, undergraduate and high school students in mentoring capacities that include a lot of one-on-one discussions around different neuroscience and biological questions. As a tutor, I work to break down topics into their foundational elements. From there, we will work together to put these pieces back together, ensuring that you have built an intuitive understanding of the parts and ultimately the sum of the parts. My course specialities include all levels of High School and college biology, neuroscience, statistics and psychology. Looking forward to hearing from you and working together!

I'm a broadly-experienced teacher and tutor of writing, working with individuals from middle school age through adulthood. My "writing philosophy" is that everyone, whatever their background or age can significantly improve as writers, and that the best way to improve as a writer is to write. With this in mind, we'll start with an awareness of the patterns in your writing – what elements are strong, what needs work. We'll then improve those key areas through the writing you’re currently working on and/or additional writing I’ll assign, sometimes on the spot during our meeting. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach to writing, but I do know that there are almost always both "macro" (organizational, big-picture stuff) and "micro" (sentence-level word choice, grammar, syntax) elements to work on. I'll help you to successfully improve writing of any type, including but not limited to: * writing assignments for school in any subject area from middle to high school, college, grad, GED, adulthood, and in any genre - essays, research papers, creative writing *college application essays, SAT strategies for the reading and language/grammar sections * resumes, emails, proposals * editing your writing for school, workplace, publication * other - you name it! My teaching career spans roles as an Instructor and Associate Professor in English, Writing, and Teacher Education programs extensively in the New York and in Boston areas, at urban and suburban high schools, middle schools, colleges and universities, ESL and GED programs. I'm also the founder and former Executive Director of a non-profit serving under-resourced public high school students through a variety of academic opportunities. I currently tutor writing privately and as a volunteer writing tutor at a large urban high school in Cambridge, MA. I am a published writer of short fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and research on writing. In short, I love to teach writing and to write!

I am a physics professor at the University of Arizona. I have been teaching and tutoring math and physics for 20 years. I began my tutoring career as an undergraduate at Yale, providing physics help to minority and first-generation students as part of a program run by the college. Since that time, I have taught math and physics to all kinds of students at all different levels. I always make time for one-on-one tutoring because it is so rewarding. Let me know if you think I can help! In addition to math and physics, I can also help with writing, computer programming, and music theory. If you want to get a sense of my style, search for Sam Gralla on youtube. I regularly upload math and physics instructional videos, and you will find some public lectures as well. Feel free to reach out to me about anything.

I have taught and tutored physics at levels ranging from introductory mechanics to advanced graduate quantum mechanics, along with calculus and linear algebra. Recently, I've been involved in enriching student experiences by exposing them to a variety of interesting, yet accessible, topics outside of the usual curriculum. Examples include topics in probability, calculus, special relativity, waves, differential equations and linear algebra. I will likely be able to help with most areas of physics, especially mechanics (classical and quantum), electromagnetism/field theory (classical and quantum), relativity, and statistical mechanics. In math I have taught mostly calculus, linear algebra and probability.
