What prompted you to seek tutoring?

I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Locke

Certified Tutor

I am a life-long astrophysics, mathematics and physics fanatic; I received my masters in astrophysics from Harvard and my bachelors in physics and astronomy from the University of Washington. I first started tutoring in exchange for coffee when I entered university at 16, but kept it up and turned it into a full fleet of wonderful learners. I am on my way to a PhD in astrophysics but have taken some time off to tutor full-time. I adore tutoring all sorts of STEM fields as it is rarely about the topic for me but about learning how to best teach each individual. Let's find the ways that you learn best (and if we do it right find your spark for learning). I will never give you an equation without helping you build the intuition of how to build it again. But the more fun we have while learning, the more likely you are to remember and enjoy what you learn so we're going to have lots of fun too. In my spare time, you're likely to catch me bouldering, finding obscure science or craft YouTube videos, swimming a triathlon, practicing Thai or playing *so so* many board games.
