Preston Shepherd rated Calvin
Wilmington, Los Angeles

I had Calvin as my Physics tutor when I was in my last year of school, and his classes were so much fun! he taught in a way that made sense to me. Instead of just reading books, we did cool projects and used tools that people actually use in real life. he made hard stuff easy to understand and remember. When I was getting ready for job interviews, I kept thinking about the projects we did in his class. I’m sure he helped me do better in school and get ready for my future!

Gaba is the BEST science tutor ever! She knows all about physics and explains things in a way that just makes sense. When I don't understand something, she shows me again in a different way until it clicks.She gives me lots of chances to practice (but never too much at once) and always tells me what I'm doing right. The best part? After working with Gaba , I feel like a physics superhero - I actually understand stuff and feel brave enough to try hard problems

Sarthak is an amazing physics teacher! he knows so much about science and always helps his students with a smile. When he explains tricky ideas, he makes them super easy to understand like putting together a fun puzzle.I’m really grateful for all the time he spent helping me with my project. he never gave up on me, even when things were hard. Any student would be lucky to learn from his.The best part? Sarthak isn’t just a great teacher he’s also friendly and kind, both in class and outside of it. If you ever need help, he’s always there for you. he’s the kind of teacher who makes learning exciting!

Khan Reyonlds is an amazing tutor. She is one of the most patient, smart and caring teachers I've ever met. During my physics lessons, she helped me udnerstand difficult ideas step by step. She didn't just give quick answers she made sure I really understood the material. This helped me feel more confident and improved my grades. I also started to enjoy physics more. When she asked me to write this I wwas happy to do it because she truly deserve praise. If you get the chance to learn from her, you're in very good hands.

abhishek is an awesome tutor who really cares about helping his students do their best. he loves physics and explains things in a way that makes them easier to understand. he doesn’t just show us how to solve problems, he also helps us understand why we do things a certain way. Sometimes, he even stays a little longer after our session to make sure we finish our work or really get the idea. After each lesson, he sends helpful notes and cool videos or links so we can learn more. Thanks to his, learning feels fun and not so hard.

Foster is a great tutor who really understands physics. She is very patient amd helps even when it takes time to understand things. Her kind and positive attutude makes learning easier and less scary. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn more about science.
Physics in Los Angeles leads Innovation and Industries
Where physics education begins in LA
Students in Los Angeles have access to a wide range of public and private schools offering physics as part of the California high school curriculum. Schools like Harvard-Westlake School and Granada Hills Charter High School have strong AP Physics programs and active participation in the California Science Olympiad.
Higher education is equally strong. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is renowned for research in plasma physics and condensed matter, while the University of Southern California (USC) invests heavily in quantum information science and photonics. California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA) supports applied physics programs that connect students to industry projects in renewable energy and materials science.
Physics shaping LA’s industries
The city’s connection to aerospace giants like SpaceX, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing keeps physics deeply tied to cutting-edge applications in propulsion, orbital mechanics, and aerodynamics. In the medical field, local hospitals and research centres are using physics-driven imaging technologies and radiation therapy to advance patient care.
Renewable energy projects, including large-scale solar developments in LA County, depend on expertise in thermodynamics and optics. Meanwhile, climate science research, much of it tied to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in nearby Pasadena, applies atmospheric physics to real-world environmental monitoring.
Research and innovation hubs
- NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena leads space exploration projects, planetary science, and atmospheric studies.
- California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA explores nanotechnology, materials science, and quantum devices.
- USC Michelson Centre for Convergent Bioscience applies physics to medical imaging and diagnostics.
Opportunities and pathways for students
Physics students in Los Angeles can take advantage of local resources beyond the classroom. Makerspaces such as HexLab and LA Makerspace provide hands-on opportunities to work with electronics, optics, and mechanics. Public institutions like the California Science Centre and Griffith Observatory host interactive exhibits and lectures, making complex topics accessible to learners at all levels.
By combining academic learning with industry partnerships, research facility access, and community programs, Los Angeles offers an ideal environment for building a strong foundation in physics while engaging with the city’s innovation-driven industries.
