Online Physics Tutoring
Physics made intuitive - understand the concepts and the math behind motion, energy, electricity, and more.
About online Physics tutoring
Physics rewards understanding over memorizing, and a good tutor can make the difference between formulas that feel random and concepts that finally click. Online physics tutoring pairs you with a tutor who builds intuition with clear visuals and real-world examples, then guides you through problem after problem.
Our physics tutors cover mechanics, energy, waves, and electricity and magnetism - from high-school physics through AP Physics and college courses - with the math support built in. One-on-one and online, on your schedule and targeted to your weak spots. Your first trial lesson is free.
If you're looking for an online physics tutor, it's usually because physics asks two hard things at once: understanding the concepts and doing the math to back them up. Miss either and problems fall apart. One-on-one help is ideal here, because a tutor can see exactly which side is tripping you up. Here's how our online physics tutoring works, what it covers, and how to tell it's time to get help - whether it's high-school physics, AP Physics, or a college course.
How online Physics tutoring works
We separate the concept from the math
Physics struggles usually come from one of two places: not picturing what's physically happening, or shaky algebra and (for some courses) calculus. In the first lesson your tutor works through problems to see which it is - because 'I don't get the physics' and 'I can't do the math' need completely different fixes.
We build the picture first
Good physics starts with a clear mental (and drawn) picture: a diagram, the forces, the direction of motion. On a shared whiteboard your tutor draws every problem with you - free-body diagrams, circuits, ray diagrams - so the equations attach to something real instead of floating free.
We teach a repeatable problem-solving method
The students who thrive in physics follow a system: identify what's given and what's asked, choose the right principle (Newton's laws, energy conservation, kinematics), then do the algebra carefully. Your tutor drills that method so a new problem is a process, not a panic.
We prepare for the exact course or exam
Whether it's honors physics, AP Physics 1, 2, or C, or a college course, your tutor tailors practice to it - including the AP free-response style, where clear reasoning and correct units earn as many points as the final number.
What our Physics tutoring covers
The physics topics your tutor will cover
Every plan is tailored to your child's course, but here is the full range an online physics tutor can help with - from the foundations through the toughest topics.
- Kinematics & motion
- Displacement, velocity, and acceleration; the equations of motion; graphs of motion; and projectile motion.
- Forces & Newton's laws
- Free-body diagrams, Newton's three laws, friction, tension, and inclined-plane problems - the heart of mechanics.
- Energy, work & momentum
- Work and energy, conservation of energy, power, impulse, and conservation of momentum in collisions.
- Electricity & magnetism
- Electric charge and fields, Ohm's law and circuits, and the basics of magnetism and electromagnetic induction.
- Waves & optics
- Wave properties, sound, reflection and refraction, lenses and mirrors, and ray diagrams.
- Thermodynamics
- Temperature and heat, the gas laws, and the laws of thermodynamics.
- Modern & rotational physics
- Rotational motion and torque, plus an introduction to modern physics topics where your course includes them.
- AP Physics & the math behind it
- AP Physics 1 and 2 (algebra-based) and AP Physics C (calculus-based), with the algebra, trig, or calculus each requires - and the free-response format the exams reward.
Signs your child could use a physics tutor
- They understand the idea but can't turn it into an equation (or vice versa).
- They don't know which principle a problem is asking them to use.
- Weak algebra or trig is making the physics harder than it should be.
- They skip the diagram and then get lost in the numbers.
- They lose free-response points for missing units or unclear reasoning.
- They're taking AP Physics 1, 2, or C, or a college course, and want to stay ahead.
What students gain
- The habit of drawing the problem before solving it.
- A repeatable method for choosing the right principle every time.
- Solid algebra, trig, and (for AP C) calculus underneath the physics.
- Higher grades and readiness for AP exams and college STEM courses.

Physics tutoring FAQs
Why is physics so hard?+
Physics is demanding because it combines two skills at once: understanding what is physically happening and doing the math to describe it. Many students are strong at one and weaker at the other, so problems break down. It also rewards drawing and reasoning through a situation rather than plugging into formulas. One-on-one tutoring helps fastest because a tutor can pinpoint whether the gap is conceptual or mathematical and fix that specific thing.
Do I need to be good at math to do physics?+
You need solid algebra and trigonometry for most high-school and AP Physics 1 and 2 courses, and calculus for AP Physics C and many college courses. The good news is that the math itself is usually not the hardest part - it's knowing which equation to use and setting the problem up correctly. A tutor can shore up the math and teach the setup at the same time.
What is the difference between AP Physics 1, 2, and C?+
AP Physics 1 and 2 are algebra-based: Physics 1 covers mechanics and basic topics, and Physics 2 covers electricity and magnetism, fluids, thermodynamics, and more. AP Physics C is calculus-based and split into Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism, aimed at students heading into engineering or the physical sciences. We tutor all of them, matched to your course.
How can a tutor help me solve physics problems?+
A tutor teaches a repeatable method rather than a bag of tricks: draw the situation, list what's given and what's asked, choose the governing principle, then do the algebra carefully with units. Practiced live on a shared whiteboard, this turns intimidating problems into a familiar process - and the tutor catches the exact step where your reasoning or math slips.
Is online physics tutoring effective?+
Yes - a shared interactive whiteboard is ideal for physics, letting tutor and student draw free-body diagrams, circuits, and graphs together in real time. Because it's one-on-one, the tutor targets the precise concept or math step you're stuck on, so progress is usually faster than in a large class.
How much does online physics tutoring cost?+
Rates are affordable and flexible and depend on level and how often you meet - current options are on our pricing page. Your first trial lesson is free, and you can try up to three tutors at no cost until you find the right fit.
