Online physics tutors provide instruction on physics concepts to students through virtual portals. You may offer assistance for a specific field of physics, such as Newtonian physics, quantum physics, or materials physics; or you may tutor students in general physics theories. As an online physics tutor, you discuss the areas in physics that your student may be struggling in, determine how to best help them understand the physics theories, and develop teaching plans to ensure they improve in their studies. You may also help prepare students for exams, such as the AP Physics test or the SAT 2 Physics exam. Online physics tutors may work with students one-on-one or in group sessions.
