I recently earned my Master’s degree in Physics from the City College of New York and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Astronomy from Stony Brook University. I have university-level teaching experience as a physics teaching assistant and adjunct instructor, leading recitations and laboratory sessions and helping students develop strong problem-solving skills in mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and other core physics topics.
I work with both high school and college students, including students in AP Physics, calculus-based university physics, astronomy, and mathematics courses. My teaching approach focuses on genuine understanding rather than memorizing formulas. I break difficult concepts and multi-step problems into clear, manageable steps, explain why each step works, and then use guided practice to help students become comfortable solving problems independently.
For AP Physics and university-level physics, I take a structured and goal-oriented approach. Students are encouraged to send topics, homework, study guides, or practice problems in advance so I can prepare effectively. Sessions typically combine concept review, worked examples, and exam-style practice, with particular attention to identifying the correct physical principles and setting up problems before doing the calculations.
I can also provide detailed lesson notes when requested, including key concepts, worked examples, and additional practice problems for students to review after the session.
In addition to standard physics and mathematics courses, I can help with more advanced subjects including classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, introductory quantum mechanics, astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, stellar physics, radiation processes, and computational physics. I can also assist with discrete mathematics and related quantitative courses.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Shakibul is an excellent physics tutor who demonstrates genuine dedication to his students' academic success. He has been helping my daughter navigate a rigorous ninth-grade physics curriculum at Trinity School. What particularly impressed me was the time and effort he invested in preparing a comprehensive, personalized 20-page study guide specifically tailored to her coursework and upcoming assessment. The materials included clear explanations, diagrams, worked examples, practice problems, and a mock examination. Shakibul takes a structured and thoughtful approach to teaching, emphasizing conceptual understanding and problem-solving rather than memorization. His preparation, attention to detail, and commitment to helping my daughter succeed are greatly appreciated. I highly recommend him to families seeking a knowledgeable and dedicated physics tutor.

CARLINE, 5 lessons with Shakibul

An outstanding mentor!

My son has always had a passion for astronomy. Even though he is still young and developing his foundational math skills, his enthusiasm keeps him eager to tackle complex topics. Finding Mr. Shak has been an absolute game-changer. Finding an educator who combines deep subject expertise with an engaging, structured approach tailored for younger learners is rare, but Mr. Shak excels at it. He is remarkably patient and ensures my son genuinely understands each concept before moving forward. We especially appreciate how organized his lessons are: he sets clear milestones so students always know what they are working toward. After every session, he provides detailed summary notes and targeted review questions, which reinforce independent learning between meetings. In my son’s words: “Mr. Shak explains concepts clearly, stays completely engaged during our lessons, and makes difficult challenges fun!” We could not ask for a better mentor and look forward to working with him long-term.

Excellent tutor

I am very pleased with the tutoring my daughter has received for her University Physics II course. His teaching skills are excellent, and he explains concepts in a way that makes them much easier to understand. One aspect I especially appreciate is his outstanding communication. He keeps me informed with timely updates on the progress of each class and is extremely quick to respond to text messages, which gives me confidence that my daughter is receiving the support she needs. He has taken the time to conduct periodic assessment tests to evaluate her understanding and identify areas where she needed additional help. He then focused on strengthening those weaker areas, which has been very reassuring as a parent. My daughter feels comfortable with his teaching approach and enjoys the online sessions. She appears more confident and engaged with the subject, and that speaks volumes about his ability to connect with his students. Based on our experience so far, I am very happy with his dedication, professionalism, and commitment to helping students succeed. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated Physics tutor. I will be happy to provide an update after the semester begins, sharing how the tutoring has helped my daughter during her actual Physics II classes and how she feels about the course as it progresses.

10000000/10 physics tutor—kind and committed

I could not possibly recommend Shakibul more. He saved me on my most recent physics exam, going out of his way to meet with me at odd hours and for as long as I needed. He was personally invested in my success and would work in the times we were not meeting to come up with better ways to explain the problems and to write up solutions for me. If you want a tutor who will be kind and committed, Shakibul is 100% the right tutor for you.
