I've taught physics for 31 years at all levels, including AP (reader/grader of both AP Physics 1 and C exams), National Board Certified Teacher, occasional freelance writer of ACT science passages and other state and national question banks. I love helping students see the light and understand a subject that I enjoy and know very well.
I'm patient, a good listener, knowledgeable, and experienced.

Knowledgeable and explains the concepts very well
He teaches in a way high school kids can understand. I just had 1 session for AP Physics C and he explained in very simple way that I understand the concept very well. Best teacher ever!

Excellent High School Physics Tutor
Phil S. has been a wonderful high school physics tutor for my two daughters. He prepared them both for all their exams and was nice and easy going. He was also very accommodating, especially when we would ask for sessions last minute and his fee is very fair, making it easy to meet with him multiple times (sometimes a few times a week). We're done with physics for now but I couldn't recommend Phil S. more.

Excellent
Phil is always responsive to inquiries for availability - especially last minute requests . He has helped my son in Advanced Physics understand concepts that he hasn't grasped in class and has helped him become more confidant. Highly recommend.

AP Physics 1 Exam Tutor
My son worked with Phil for three months leading up to his AP Physics 1 exam. He is patient, knowledgeable, and explained concepts well. He has positive energy, provides encouragement, and has a great teaching style. Thanks Physics Phil!

best tutor ever
Phil has worked with me every week during my semester of ap physics c. He helps break down every topic into something I can understand. He is patient when helping me with my homework as well. He is super helpful and truly knows the curriculum inside and out. He has been 10000x more helpful than my actual teacher thanks Phil!

Knowledgeable and personable
Phil has been helping my son with Physics C, a subject he struggles with. Being a current Physics teacher, Phil is knowledgeable and ready to help. My son really enjoys his lessons.

Tailored to your needs, great explanations
Phil was a great listener and tailored the lesson for my daughter’s needs. He provided equations that could be applied to any problem with thorough explanations of how to solve each problem she was working on.

Physics Tutor
My daughter came to Phil S. later in the year. He explained honors physics clearly and patiently. He sent her added materials to use for review. She got a lot out of the sessions and I highly recommend him.

The best physics tutor!
Phil tutored my 11th grader in physics this year. She would have a lesson weekly to go over what she learned in class. While my daughter was struggling to understand some of the concepts Phil was patient and explained the material in a way that made sense to her. I would highly recommend him, he is one of the best tutors we have had.
