Physics · Math · CS · Chemistry — Austin, TX
They understand it. The grade doesn’t show it.
Usually that’s not a knowledge problem. It’s that there’s no repeatable way to sit down and take a test — and that’s the fast kind to fix.
The usual problem
Two students miss the same question for opposite reasons.
One of them hasn’t learned it yet. That takes however long it takes.
The other knows it cold and still gets it wrong. They read the question a different way every time, start wherever their eye lands, and check nothing. Same red mark on the page — completely different fix.
So the first session isn’t teaching. It’s working out which one you’ve got, because more practice problems only help one of them.
The material
Read a whole lesson before you talk to me.
The plan I teach from, the problem set the student works, and the answer key — with the wrong paths written out next to the right one, because that’s the part that actually teaches.
AP Physics 1, work and energy. All three are on the resources page as PDFs. No email, no form, no gate.
Subjects
What I teach.
Eighth grade through early university.
Physics
AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, honors, and on-level. This is the class where strong math students most often hit a wall for the first time.
More on physics tutoring →Mathematics
Algebra 2 Honors and Precalculus Honors, through AP Calculus. Most students arrive understanding more than their grade suggests.
More on math tutoring →Chemistry
Chemistry Honors, taught by a second tutor who works with Balae rather than by Adi.

$65/hour
Same rate for every subject, billed by the session. No contracts, no minimum. The first call’s free.
Who you’d be working with
I sat these exams in 2024. I still remember where the points go.
I’m Adi — electrical and computer engineering at UT Austin, class of 2029. I had this exact problem myself: understood the material, lost points anyway.
I also had a tutor in high school. At a competitive school people read that as information about your kid. It usually isn’t — it’s mostly the students already doing well who are sick of the gap.
How to start
Three steps.
Send the form
Grade, course, and what made you start looking. Two minutes.
A free 15-minute call
I tell you which problem I think it is, and whether I’m the right person. Sometimes I’m not, and I’ll say so.
A first session, then a written read
It’s diagnostic. Afterwards you get a short written note on what I found and what I’d do about it.
Start with the call.
Fifteen minutes, free. You’ll come away knowing what’s actually going wrong.
