Padma M.

24 Physics lessons

All together, he is really good tutor for chemistry (general, and AP as well as organic) and physics, since when explaining certain things in chemistry like bonding, I can tell he is also very knowledgeable in physics as well. So I would highly recommend Clark for these subjects because he is really good with these subjects and is able to adapt to different student's learning approaches.
Sarah W.

3 Physics lessons

David is an excellent tutor. He explained the concepts of physics in a way that was very easy to understand. He replied promptly to every email I sent to him and he was on time for every lesson. I had two sessions with him and my grade went up a letter. I wish I had hired him earlier in the semester! I would highly recommend him. He helped me with a college level conceptual physics class.
Nana M.

17 Physics lessons

It was as if Evan just opened my brain and dropped the information I needed inside. He Jedi mind tricked me and it was amazing. I now have the utmost confidence that not only am I going to pass my college physics class, but I might even earn an A!!! If you need help with physics, and you're looking for someone who's patient, professional, and always willing to help, stop wasting your time and just send Evan a message!
