Justin

ACT Prep Tutor • +31 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.

Conversational French Tutor • +12 Subjects

I earned my Bachelors Degree from Florida International University, and I am currently working on my Masters Degree at Davenport University. I feel that my experiences of temporary teaching and tutoring have been both personally satisfying and beneficial to the children I worked with. I have enjoyed three periods of teaching.My first opportunity to teach was provided by the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, which was one of the necessary ways to get the best experience by teaching language arts, writing, reading comprehension, mathematics, science, geography, social studies or history. Moreover, I was able to work with various levels and a diversity of students. I enjoyed working with students from pre-K to fifth grades there and was interested in the teachers technique of teaching young children.I had the opportunity at my second position at One on One Learning, to instruct my own group of pupils based on their weak subjects in the comfort of their homes. I was allowed to devise my own teaching methods and I received great satisfaction when the children showed understanding and progress.My third experience was provided by Sylvan Learning Center when I worked as a tutor by focusing on standard core subjects such as mathematics and reading. I enjoyed the opportunity to teach older children as the lessons were more tightly structured so that a better understanding could be attained.I am now certain that it is the education of the elementary age group that I would like to specialize in as at this level I would be able to teach mathematics to the depth at which it becomes the most interesting and enlightening. I would hope to give my students a good foundation since I feel that nearly every profession uses some form of mathematics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students typically see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of consistent tutoring. If you're struggling with foundational concepts, you might jump 2-3 points on the AP scale (1-5) as you build understanding. Students who are already scoring 3s often reach 4s or 5s by targeting specific weak areas and practicing with actual AP exam questions. The key is identifying exactly where you're losing points—whether it's in mechanics, thermodynamics, or electricity—and drilling those concepts until they stick.

The top challenge is connecting mathematical equations to physical concepts. Many students can plug numbers into formulas but struggle to understand what's actually happening. Time management on the exam is another major pain point—the free-response section requires balancing detailed calculations with clear explanations, and pacing matters. Additionally, the sheer breadth of content (mechanics, waves, thermodynamics, electricity, and magnetism) can feel overwhelming if you try to memorize everything instead of understanding underlying principles. Students also often underestimate how much practice with real AP exam questions they need—practice tests aren't optional if you want a 4 or 5.

Look for a tutor with demonstrated expertise in AP Physics specifically—not just general physics knowledge. They should be able to explain concepts in multiple ways until it clicks for you, since everyone's brain works differently. Strong AP Physics tutors focus on problem-solving strategies and teach you how to approach unfamiliar questions, not just solve familiar ones. They should also be familiar with the AP exam format, common student mistakes, and which topics consume the most time—so they can prioritize your study sessions effectively. Finally, a great tutor will help you build confidence by showing you how much you've improved over time.

Start taking full practice tests about 6-8 weeks before the exam, aiming for one every 1-2 weeks. Take them under timed conditions in a quiet environment so you experience the real exam pressure and pacing. After each test, spend more time analyzing what went wrong than just reviewing the answers—look for patterns. Are you missing conceptual questions? Running out of time? Making calculation errors? Once you identify your weak spots, focus your tutoring sessions on those specific areas before taking your next practice test. This cycle of test, analyze, target, and retest is how students make real score improvements.

You need both, but the balance matters. Spend the first 4-6 weeks building solid understanding of core principles—Newton's laws, kinematics, work and energy, momentum. These are the foundation everything else is built on. Then shift to heavy application practice: solving varied problems, taking practice tests, and learning how to recognize which principle applies to each situation. Many students get stuck because they understand the concepts in isolation but can't identify which tool to use on an unfamiliar problem. A tutor can accelerate this transition by showing you problem types, common setups, and the decision-making process real physicists use—not just the mechanics themselves.

Free-response questions reward clear reasoning and organized work as much as correct answers. Start by reading the entire question before writing anything—identify what's given, what you're finding, and which concepts apply. Write out your approach first, then show your calculations step-by-step. Partial credit is substantial on AP Physics, so even if your final answer is wrong, correct reasoning and method earn most of the points. Practice writing out 3-4 free-response questions weekly, timing yourself, and reviewing the official scoring rubrics so you understand what graders prioritize. A tutor can give you feedback on whether you're explaining your reasoning clearly enough—this is often the difference between a 6/7 and a 9/10 on these questions.

Time management on AP Physics comes down to knowing when to move on. On the multiple-choice section, if you're stuck on a question after 90 seconds, make your best guess and keep moving—you can come back if time allows. For free-response, spend the first 2-3 minutes planning your approach before writing, then allocate about 15 minutes per question depending on difficulty. The real skill is recognizing which questions will take more time and adjusting accordingly. Practice tests reveal your natural pacing, and a tutor can help you identify which question types slow you down most—whether it's complex multi-step problems or reading-heavy conceptual questions—so you can practice those specifically and build speed through familiarity.
