Physics Tutoring – Portland & Seattle
Physics explores how matter behaves, how energy and force affect us, and is the underpinning of just about everything that exists. While high school physics class won’t cover all of these concepts, it lays the foundation for academic success and requires a solid foundation in math and science.
What Are the Benefits of Physics Tutoring?
Most high schools offer several physics classes, from college prep to AP physics. Success in any or all of these classes requires mastery of foundational skills like algebra and scientific reasoning. Students who are weak in these areas may find the subject matter frustrating, leading to disengagement and possibly poor grades.
Working with a tutor can strengthen those foundational skills and set your student up for success in physics class and beyond.
Improve College Applications
Physics may not be a graduation requirement, but taking it can improve your college application. The admissions committee looks at how rigorous classes are, and physics demonstrates a willingness to tackle difficult material.
Build Confidence
Acing physics coursework requires a combination of logical reasoning, math, and comprehension skills — skills not every student possesses. A physics tutor will help your student build the skills they need to master the material and feel confident that they can do well in the class.
Prepare for the Future
Even if your student won’t pursue a career in physics, many majors require college-level physics to graduate. Engineering, astronomy, and even pre-med all have physics requirements. Mastering the basics now ensures your student succeeds in college-level physics and beyond.
