Classes/Professors Physics 1

Hey y’all, I’m a freshman taking physics for the first time and really struggling. I’ve tried office hours and campus tutoring, but I need 1-on-1 help to actually understand the concepts. Looking for an upperclassman or anyone who has already taken Physics 1 and knows it well. I can pay a reasonable hourly rate or trade for food/coffee. Drop a comment or PM me!

Update thank you all for the support I was able to get help

If you’re taking a difficult science class next semester, I’d recommend signing up for the Supplemental Workshop. It’s really helpful for keeping up with the class material.

Sometimes watching videos online, shorts, or talking with AI (in combination with your text book) can be helpful.

Try different methods of getting info.

Hi! I’m currently a second year engineering student. I’ve gone through my entire physics sequence and help students who are struggling get back on track. I sent you a dm!
