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.

Curtis: Wheeling tutor

Certified Tutor

I have a degree in Physics from Virginia Tech with a minor in Astronomy. Since graduating in 2017, I went on to teach high school Physics, AP Physics, and Astronomy for 2 years before leaving to pursue graduate school in physics. I also founded and coached the FRC Robotics Team (#7315 Giga Kinghts!!) at the school I taught at. Throughtout that time I tutored SAT Math and Physics off-and-on on the side.

My tutoring style changes based on your needs. If you just need a tutor to help you figure out some tricky problems on homework, I can help. Or, maybe you are completely lost and need to start from the basics. I can provide 1-on-1 lessons to get you back on track.

Obviously, physics is my passion and the subject I am most interested in, but I also have a deep respect for mathematics and am able to tutor a wide range of math topics as well.

Beyond academics, my other passion is woodworking. I love to make things out of wood, from small stuff like mechanical pencils to large furniture that I use everyday. I'm also a huge fan of video games and reading in my spare time. World of Warcraft, the original Halo trilogy, and anything written by Patrick Rothfuss and Brandon Sanderson are a some of my all time favorites.
