Who We Are
At Freudigman & Billings, we believe students thrive when supported by meaningful relationships.

We do this through individualized assessments, personalized learning plans, and one-on-one coaching that meets students where they are.
What We Do
Drawing on cognitive science and shaped by our founders’ experience at Yale University, we take a holistic approach to academic instruction. Our instructors help students build confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and gain a deeper understanding of subject matter including all levels of physics.
Our instructors provide thoughtful, rigorous support in a way that’s both engaging and effective. The work is deeply rewarding and offers opportunities to make lasting academic and personal impact.
Who You Are
You have a B.A./B.S. in Physics and/or a physics-related field and a solid foundation in high school content. You may have some teaching or tutoring experience or, if not, you're eager to learn.

We’ll train you in our instructional methods, but you’ll bring your unique spark. Maybe it’s your knack for breaking down tricky physics problems, or your ability to make a stressed-out teen crack a smile. Either way, we’re looking for someone who can build real relationships and make learning physics feel possible—and even enjoyable.
