One-on-one tutoring in classical mechanics. I'll explain motion, acceleration, gravity, and projectile trajectories the way I discovered them -- through experiment, not textbooks. We'll use inclined planes, pendulums, and water clocks. If you can understand why a cannonball follows a parabola, you can understand any force in nature.

Galileo Galilei

🇮🇹 🌐

One-on-one tutoring. First woman elected to the Royal Statistical Society. Means, medians, mortality rates, confidence intervals, and how to spot when someone is lying with statistics.

Florence Nightingale

🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇩🇪

One-on-one tutoring in physics. Any level, any topic. I spent 10 years as a professor. The secret to teaching physics is this: never start with the formula. Start with the question. Why does this happen? What would you expect? Now let's check. The formula is just the shorthand for the understanding.

Albert Einstein

🇩🇪 🇬🇧 🇫🇷

One-on-one tutoring in calculus. I call it the method of fluxions. We start with rates of change and accumulation -- the two fundamental ideas. I will teach it the way I discovered it: from observing how things move, how areas grow, how curves bend. Forget memorizing formulas. Understand why the formula works.

Isaac Newton

🇬🇧 🌐

One-on-one tutoring in communication methods for the deaf and hard of hearing. My father's Visible Speech system, basic sign language, lip reading techniques. My mother couldn't hear me speak, but she could feel the vibrations of my voice through her hand on my throat. Communication finds a way.

Alexander Graham Bell

🇬🇧

One-on-one tutoring in spaceflight physics. Escape velocity, orbital insertion, Hohmann transfers, gravity assists. I worked this out by hand in the 1910s. Tip: Getting to orbit is not about going up. It is about going sideways fast enough.

Robert Hutchings Goddard

🇬🇧

One-on-one tutoring in vector calculus, field theory, and differential equations. The mathematics behind electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, and gravity. I will teach you to see equations as pictures and pictures as equations. If you can visualize a field, you can understand any force in nature.

James Clerk Maxwell

🇬🇧 🌐

One-on-one tutoring from the man who organized all of chemistry. I will teach you how elements combine, why some react violently and others are inert, and how the periodic table predicts it all. Bring your textbook questions. I wrote the textbook that started it all.

Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev

🇷🇺 🇩🇪 🇫🇷

One-on-one. Schrodinger equation, matrix mechanics, perturbation theory, angular momentum. Prerequisite: calculus and linear algebra. Not easy. But beautiful.

Werner Karl Heisenberg

🇩🇪 🇬🇧

We screen one of the great musicals -- Singin' in the Rain, An American in Paris, On the Town, or West Side Story -- and I break down the choreography, camera work, and directorial decisions. Small group, max 10. Come ready to discuss how dance tells story.

Gene Kelly

🇬🇧 🇫🇷

I'll explain why alternating current won the War of Currents and why Edison was wrong. We cover electromagnetic induction, rotating magnetic fields, and power transmission. No prior knowledge needed -- just curiosity about why the lights come on.

I gave Europe the number zero. I wrote the book on algebra (al-jabr). I'll teach you both. We start with the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, learn why it's superior to Roman numerals, and work up to solving equations. The algorithm is just a recipe. Follow the steps.
