As lifelong learners,
We know that empathy, flexibility, and patience go a long way. Our tutors studied physics, math, and science for many years. The struggle is real. Our goal is to help convert any negatives into positives to ensure that students truly understand the material and achieve a better grade on their upcoming tests and beyond.
As Physics and Nature Enthusiasts,
We experience awe and wonder when we see the simplicity of physical laws that explain so many phenomena. In Greek, literally means "knowledge of nature". We invite you to share in the experience of appreciating beauty in ways that go beyond our five senses.
As Innovative Thinkers
We know that math and physics fuel deep connections between us and the natural world. Enable your child to learn more about those connections while exploring the language of our universe.
"Why I love tutoring and teaching in the 1-on-1 environment is that I get an opportunity to work with students and help them to see that math can be a helpful tool to standardize their way of thinking to approach all types of problems."
- Dexter Dysthe, Tutor
Tutoring offers students a way to master physics without fear
A major portion of high school physics is mathematical. Some physics students struggle with the highly conceptual theories and ideas inherent to the subject. Other students simply need support with the underlying math skills. Whether your child is just starting out or prepping for an AP physics exam, the right physics tutor can make a significant difference.
We know practice makes perfect. There are no shortcuts. Our math tutoring programs are more about:
