One-Time Physics Tutoring (All Levels)
from $100.00

Whether your student is preparing for a test, stuck on a specific assignment, or needs a concept re-taught more clearly, this one-time session is designed to meet them where they are.

During each 60-minute session, I will work directly with your student to:

  • Review and clarify difficult concepts

  • Walk through their specific homework or lab assignment

  • Prepare for their upcoming quizzes, exams, and finals

  • Build confidence and problem-solving skills tailored directly to your student

This is a great option for students who need targeted support without committing to a full program.

Who is this for:

  • High school physics (conceptual, regular, honors, or AP-level)

  • First-year college students

  • Students preparing for a test/exam, or have a large assignment due that they need help with

  • Students who are feeling stuck or behind, or who feel their classroom teacher is not teaching in a way that helps them learn

Details:

  • 60-minute private session (Zoom)

  • Personalized to your student’s needs

  • $100 per session

  • In-person tutoring is available at public libraries within a 30-minute drive from Orland Park, Illinois, for an additional $50 travel fee.

After you sign up, I’ll reach out via email to schedule your session and gather more information about your student's needs so we can make the most of the time together. Please plan to schedule at least one week in advance for in-person tutoring. Emergency Zoom sessions are available most days.

  • "Being in Dr. Preston's AP Physics 1, 2, and C classes from my junior to senior years (2023-2025) was an incredibly rewarding experience. Every day, she pushed us to think critically and challenged us to approach problems the way engineers do in the real world. Having that kind of exposure early in my educational journey has helped me tremendously, especially now as I study engineering at UIUC. Being introduced to such a complex subject as physics at a high level made it much easier to keep pace with my professors and has played a major role in my success in my current physics courses. What stood out most to me was how much Dr. Preston genuinely cares about each of her students - she is deeply invested in their success and in helping them build meaningful, successful careers."

    —Valente, former student

  • "Dr. Preston was always a teacher who had multiple ways to teach something if we didn't understand the subject. She had a passion for physics that was pretty obvious. Her soft demeanor yet strict rules really created a comforting environment that made it okay not to know how to do the equations. I took a lot of teachings into my own classroom (not a teacher now) and they were the best things I could create a classroom environment like Dr. Preston's"

    Maria, former student

  • "Even though I was awful at physics, I learned the most from Dr. Preston. She's a great teacher and very patient with the subject being taught. She's very passionate about what she does and I could definitely see it."

    Gina, former student

  • "As a current Cummins Mechanical Engineer Technician at the world HQ, I use what I learned in Dr. Preston's classes almost every day! From energy conversion, measurements, and overall science practices, like data logging and application of mechanical principles! She cares about her subject and students and can teach in a fun and lightweight style. Side note, she did make me stand up in class a lot for being sleepy!"

    Robert, former student

  • Dr. Preston showed me real world examples and how it applies to ME! It was not just formulas and information just thrown at us. She showed us WHAT we were learning, WHY we were learning it, and then we APPLIED it to our lives. That is honestly what helped me so much. Dr. Preston was very fun, and very fair. I recall having to make up a test and she was so kind, caring, and understanding. I missed some of the info that was on the test and she took the time to explain it to me so I understood before I attempted the test and failed. Dr. Preston made sure I was prepared.

  • "Currently an engineer with Virgin Galactic! Dr. Preston was influential to my aerospace career! I use many of the principles taught in the class in my day to day."
