Mr Aki is a great and very friendly tutor helping my daughter for AP physics. She started showing interest in Physics and getting concepts very clear.

Daniel C.

1 Physics lesson

Lluvia helped me understand kinematics and other physics concepts during my first session with her. I feel more confident about physics thanks to her!

Stacy B.

11 Physics lessons

He broke down intimidating problems into smaller, more manageable parts. He taught me to recognize patterns within questions, a very important skill to have when doing physics. Before physics started, I didn't feel confident at all about the subject. With Richard's help, I was able to master physics and thus become more confident in my physics abilities. I earned an A- in the class, and I know that Richard's help was a huge part of that.
