Ryan explained physics in a way that finally made it make sense instead of feeling like random formulas. He connects everything back to the ‘why,’ which helped me stop memorizing and actually understand the concepts.
Amelie T.
Physics was easily my most stressful class until I started working with Ryan. He breaks things down step by step and explains things without overcomplicating them. I felt way more confident going into exams.
John L.
I always felt like I was one lecture behind in physics, but Ryan completely changed that. His explanations are clear, practical, and actually stick. For the first time, I didn’t feel lost doing problem sets.
Mark G.
Ryan explains physics like a normal human. Stuff I’d been stuck on for weeks finally clicked, and I stopped panicking every time I opened a problem set. Huge help.

Frequently asked questions

What topics are covered in PHYS 205 (Electricity & Magnetism) at Concordia?

PHYS 205 covers the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism, including electrical charge and Coulomb’s law, electric fields and electric potential, capacitance, steady-state and transient currents, electromagnetic induction, and alternating currents. Topics follow Concordia’s official course outline.

How can Grade Grinders help me succeed in PHYS 205?

Grade Grinders offers weekly tutorials, mock midterms and finals, crash courses, and full-semester bundles designed specifically for PHYS 205. We focus on breaking down E&M problems step by step so abstract concepts feel manageable and exam questions feel familiar.

What are the prerequisites for PHYS 205?

You must have completed MATH 203 and PHYS 204 (or equivalent) before taking PHYS 205, as outlined by Concordia. A solid grasp of calculus and mechanics is essential for understanding electric fields, circuits, and induction.

When should I start preparing for PHYS 205 midterms and the final exam?

Start at least two to three weeks before each exam. Weekly tutorials help you stay on top of the material as it builds, while crash courses are ideal if you’re short on time. Mock exams help identify weak areas early so you’re not guessing on exam day.

Is PHYS 205 more concept-heavy than PHYS 204?

Many students find PHYS 205 more abstract than mechanics. Understanding concepts like fields, potential, and induction is key. We focus on building intuition alongside calculations so the equations actually make sense.

What kind of exam practice does Grade Grinders offer for PHYS 204?

You’ll get access to mock midterms & finals, final-style practice exams, and detailed step-by-step solutions. These are designed to mirror real Concordia exam formats so you can practice pacing, setup, and execution before the actual exam.

Is PHYS 204 more about formulas or understanding concepts?

Both, but understanding is key. Memorizing formulas isn’t enough if you don’t know when or how to apply them. Our approach focuses on understanding the physics behind the equations so you can handle unfamiliar problems with confidence.

Is there support if I’m struggling with PHYS 205 concepts?

Yes. Students enrolled in tutorials or crash courses get ongoing support and can ask questions on challenging topics like circuits, capacitance, and electromagnetic induction—so you’re not stuck rewatching lectures alone.
