About this Course
Remember sitting through long physics lectures, only to realize you hadn't understood anything? That was me. Frustrated but determined, I started studying with peers and teaching myself. Gradually, physics began to make sense.
This experience fueled my passion. I graduated with honors from a top 10 physics program, never forgetting my early struggles. As I began tutoring, I saw the same confusion in my students' eyes. Over five years and 1000+ students later, I developed the "Physics Method" – a step-by-step approach that simplifies problem-solving.
But I wanted to reach more students. Searching for resources to share, I found most videos were outdated or unhelpful for real problem-solving. That's when it hit me: why not create the resource I wish I'd had?
Imagine physics explained like your favorite YouTube tutorial – clear, engaging, and practical. No more long, confusing lectures. Instead, you get concise 10-15 minute videos that break down complex topics into easy-to-follow steps.
If you've ever felt lost in physics class or stressed about exams, this course is for you. Join me, and discover how physics can be not just manageable, but actually enjoyable when it's taught the right way.

Vito
Danylo is an amazing tutor and anyone who is considered him should definitely not let this opportunity pass them by! Out of all the tutors I have worked with, he is the most committed to my success as a student. His hours are very flexible, he is great at teaching the material to me, and he has lots of patience.
Elizabeth
My daughter has been struggling with Physics and Algebra 2 this Spring semester. She studied and worked hard but was still not passing exams. Finally, with just a couple of sessions with Danylo there has been amazing progress and she is doing so much better on exams. I wish we would have found Danylo sooner!
Saritha
Danylo taught Physics to both my kids. One a junior in high school and another a junior in undergrad. He is thorough, organized, professional and knowledgeable. Both of them clearly understood what he was teaching and benefitted from it. I would highly recommend him as a Physics tutor.
Soham
He is a really knowledgeable teacher and is clear with his concepts. I personally feel he also teaches in quite a interesting way which is fun , simple and easy to understand , for me i think he explained Calc AB a really hard topic to me in a really easy way. He is very understanding and good to work with and overall is a really good teacher for calculus.
