Award-Winning Astrophysics Tutors

...love helping students translate their strengths in one area to another. I tutor in a broad range of subjects, but would especially love to help you learn more about Latin, English, and astronomy, because those were my favorite subjects in school. I'd also love to help you with prepping for any section of the ACT or SAT, because I remember how stressful those tests were, and want to help you feel as confident and calm...

...learns by visual representations, verbal descriptions, or analogies to a concept, my sessions usually feel more like conversations than lessons. Since English was also one of my favorite subjects, I enjoy working with students on things like essays and literary analysis. As someone who tests well myself, I like helping students to improve their test-taking skills (particularly in preparation for standardized tests). Something else that has definitely influenced my teaching style is that I have...

...Burbridge Athletics Academic Center at the University of Utah, where I also earned my Bachelors of Science in Physics, I developed a passion for education, which I intend to continue with now that I have moved to Washington DC. I am able to tutor students in Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science, having developed experience as part of my pursuit of that degree. I also have an intense interest in History, which I pursued in my...

...Communication Studies, Women's Studies Gender Studies, and Social Work. I believe in the potential for any student to achieve an A in every course and in every assignment. More so than a grade, my goal is to help students fall in love with the process of learning. Feedback from successful students has allowed me to recognize how effective the approaches toward tutoring mine have been for all learning types in various academic subjects. While my...

...good at math. You would be amazed how many students I have had who in the beginning believed math was there hardest subject, then, found out down the road, that they actually had a knack for it. I enjoy helping people learn mathematics and its applications. There is no better feeling then helping people become proficient in a math and physics. I believe if you set your mind to something and work at it,...

Hello! I'm a recent graduate in the field of Astronomy and Space Sciences. Throughout my college career, I had the opportunity to teach and be taught by some amazing people. I am excited to discuss how I can help you learn in my favorite fields, Astronomy and Physics.

...from Texas A&M University-Commerce. I am very passionate about math, physics, and astronomy and I wish to share this passion with students. I hope to accomplish this by helping students to see the relevance of these fields in their daily lives and future careers. I also attempt to make my lessons engaging by using YouTube videos and PhET simulations where possible.. Practice is essential to getting an understanding of math and physics, and I will...

I believe that education is the road to progress in life. I am very interactive in my sessions. About me, I have a PhD in nuclear astrophysics. My research focus is neutron stars, supernovae and binary merger of neutron stars. I also have a masters in mathematics, with specialization in Knot theory.

I hold multiple degrees in physics, with a wide range of additional interests and subjects. I'm dedicated to teaching technical concepts in a manner that is as concise and easy to understand as possible, while still maintaining the "practice makes perfect" philosophy. I'm also happy to discuss career interests or assist in college preparatory efforts.

...two years in Taiwan, and six years in Singapore, where I graduated high school. I am currently at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor pursuing my Ph.D. in Physics -- specifically, Observational Cosmology. During my time as an undergrad, I was very involved in the Physics Department as a Lab Assistant, Tutor, and Grader for various college-level Physics classes. I have continued tutoring as a graduate student in the UM Physics Help Room, and...

...enjoy helping fellow students succeed and learn more from their classes. While working out problems I usually try to incorporate the students notes from class and/or their textbook so I can get a feel for what they are seeing and learning in class, and work from there. I find that working from the ground up is a great way to solve problems and help build a base for solving similar problems in the future. I...

I'm astrobiologist and PhD student, with a deep love of teaching science. I have 4+ years of teaching environmental science and geology at the college level, and 2+ years of tutoring experience in astronomy. I also have considerable experience with Python, especially in terms of scientific applications and programming. (Ask me about network theory-based potential biosignatures for exoplanets!)

...have a strong understanding of what colleges look for in prospective students. Additionally, I have studied Spanish for seven years, achieving written and conversational proficiency with the language. Having dedicated myself to academia, I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to impart knowledge unto others, and have been working with Varsity Tutors for several years. Prior to my tutoring career, I graduated summa cum laude from Francis Howell High School with a 4.6 GPA.

...physics and math courses, I understand the difficulty of the subjects for some students. I want to work closely and diligently with my tutees and ensure they fully grasp the concepts presented to them in the subject areas they wish to learn about. I love the feeling of working hard with my students and seeing them achieve great success after being tutored by me. I hope to reach out to many struggling students through Varsity...

Hello, My name is Erik Dassoff and I hold a master's degree in Food Technology from a leading Dutch University. I also have a strong academic track record, having all A's throughout K-12 and my undergraduate degree. I enjoy problem-solving in math and science, but also enjoy applying it to useful real-life scenarios. I look forward to meeting and working with you! Cheers, Erik

...obtaining two very different degrees, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in creative writing at Emerson College followed directly by a Master of Science in physics at California State University, Northridge. Now I am pursuing a Ph.D. in astronomy at Georgia State University. I have run the gamut of both creative and cold, hard, scientific courses and have written both poems and scientific papers about the stars. I make a point of creating scientific graphs that...

...and that was when it started to click. Once I actually sat down with the real intent to learn rather than memorize the material, I was able to begin learning and from there I just wanted to see how far math can go. Once I reached Complex Analysis, I decided I had gone far enough lol. But the point is, if I can do it, anyone can do it and I am here to help...

...astrophysics; I also have a nontrivial amount of formal education in international affairs, political science, history, linguistics, computer programming, and several other topics. Totalled over various roles, I have been teaching and tutoring for a sum of five years (as of the end of 2016). My hobbies range over topics such as fun reading and being part of several fandoms (Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, Kingkiller Chronicles, and several...

...in physics and a Masters in math. I have taught at the college and university level. I enjoy questions and personal satisfaction with every student's success. Many times a student is very capable but just is struggling with the language of a subject. The key is to not talk to a student in math, but in a language that makes sense to them. With years of college teaching experience, I have had great success in...

I believe that all people should have equal access to learning and all learning tools needed to be successful. Education is the key to success that helps one to take command of his or her life.
