I feel incredibly fortunate to have you as her physics tutor, and I look forward to our continued collaboration.
Shilpa, 17 lessons with DanTutor responded:Thank you for your feedback! Your daughter worked very hard in her Physics class and was always very prepared for our tutoring sessions. I really appreciate that. I am certain that her discipline and study skills will continue to bring her academic success in college and beyond!
Engaging and knowledgable tutor!
My daughter needed help to improve her comprehension and her performance for AP Physics I. Dan did a great job at engaging her in discussion of concepts and in working through problems in a way that really helped some challenging subjects really click for her. After working with Dan, she was much more confident going into a recent exam. We wish that we'd found him sooner!

"Best tutor on the planet"
My daughter had her first Physics session last night and I woke up to a great text: "I was just on with my physics tutor for almost 5 hours and he is literally the best tutor on the planet, I think. I have been in physics all year and I finally 'get' it. I never understood it before." Thank you to Dan for helping her study for her college final. I will be saving your contact information for when my son takes AP Physics next year.

Patient, Helpful, and Fun
Working with my Dan this past year has made all the difference in how I approached and understood physics. From the very beginning, he broke down complex concepts in a way that actually made sense to me. He didn’t just help me pass the class—he made me enjoy learning physics. Dan always made sure that I understood a topic before moving on to the next which helped me in the long run. Every session was not only informative but also fun. Whether it was preparing for a test, reviewing homework, or tackling AP-style questions, Dan always came with helpful tips, tricks, and plenty of practice problems. What stood out most was how thoughtful he was in explaining things—he adapted his teaching to fit how I learn best. His support made me feel confident and ready for every test. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better tutor! Thank you Dan! I highly recommend Dan for anyone who is looking for a tutor, especially for AP Physics 1.

Brilliant Physics Tutor – Made AP Physics Actually Make Sense!
"Dan Physics classes was amazing! We did a lot of AP problems, he explained mechanics concepts in clear detail and always patiently answered my questions. His help filled the gaps my school class missed, and his exam prep made me feel more confident. Highly recommend him!"

Amazing physics tutor
Dan is not just knowledgeable in physics, his ability to connect with students is a great plus. My junior had struggled with physics 1 concepts initially, but after she started lessons with Dan she quickly got the grasp of the subject. Dan is also very efficient and flexible and my student never needed extra lessons in spite of her rigorous marching band and jazz schedule. She also found him quite funny!
Lakshmi, 25 lessons with DanTutor responded:Thank you for your kind words! Your junior was always focused and ready for our sessions. I wish her all the best in her academic future!

Knowledgeable and Amazing Tutor!
Dan helped my daughter with Honors Physics. He got her through some of the really tough topics. He is patient, knowledgable and so caring. He explains things very clearly and is extremely reliable and flexible. He made every effort to accommodate, even at the last minute. We were so lucky to have his support this year! Dan, wish you could teach all the tough subjects!
Cici, 99 lessons with DanTutor responded:Thank you so much for your kind words. I feel the three of us made a great team working our way forward through the (sometimes challenging!) world of Physics. I do teach a few other subjects, but there are also many fine tutors on Wyzant ready to help out. Best of luck to you both!
Excellent AP Physics Resource
Dan has consistently worked with my son for this entire school year as an AP Physics tutor. He has been a consistent name in our household and someone we often refer to friends. He is patient, incredibly thorough and able to break down complex concepts and help my son be incredibly successful in his AP Physics course this year. We will definitely use Dan for our younger son soon and can't say enough good things about how helpful Dan has been for our junior this year.

Patient and adaptable
Dan was patient with my daughter, giving her time to open up and feel comfortable to make mistakes in front of him, something that is very hard for her to do. He adapted to find her weaknesses and strengths and keep her engaged and learning the whole time.
