Physics Instructor | Making Complex Concepts Simple

Nandita T.

I have an M.S. in Engineering Physics from the University of Oklahoma, where my research focuses on developing advanced imaging systems for ultracold sodium atoms. My academic background has given me a strong foundation in mechanics, electricity and magnetism, optics, electronics, modern physics, and mathematics. I enjoy helping students understand not just how to solve physics problems, but why the underlying concepts work. My goal is to make physics approachable by breaking complex topics into simple, logical steps that build confidence and long-term understanding.

For the past three years, I have taught undergraduate physics in a university setting. I currently serve as the Instructor of General Physics Laboratory I at the University of Oklahoma, where I teach college students experimental physics, data analysis, uncertainty calculations, and scientific reasoning. I have also worked as a teaching assistant for Electronics and introductory physics courses, guiding students through problem-solving sessions, laboratory experiments, and one-on-one discussions. These experiences have allowed me to work with students from diverse academic backgrounds and learning styles.

Whether you're preparing for a high school physics exam, AP Physics, or a college-level course, I adapt my teaching to your individual needs. I believe the best learning happens through interaction, so I encourage questions and focus on building intuition before diving into equations. During our sessions, we'll work through examples together, identify areas of difficulty, and develop effective problem-solving strategies so you can approach new problems with confidence. My goal is not only to help you improve your grades, but also to help you genuinely understand and enjoy physics.
