Physics is often viewed by students as one of the most difficult sciences, requiring the student to memorize a myriad of unrelated equations and answer difficult word problems. Our tutors, however, do not focus on simply on memorizing equations. Instead, they stress understanding the basic physical principles and how those are embodied in the mathematical equations. They also focus on honing the critical thinking skills that are needed for solving physics word problems. By focusing on the conceptual aspect of physics, in addition to the memorization, the equations become more intuitive and the student is better able to understand how to solve complex problems.
With the advanced education and extensive teaching experience that our physics tutors have, they are able to help the student understand how to use each physics concept and equation as a problem solving tool in their toolbox, as well as help improve students' approach to solving difficult critical thinking problems.
