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.

Lucas: Edmonton tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a Class of 2020 Skidmore College graduate! I majored in Physics, with minors in Math and Music. I enjoy teaching, and want to go to graduate school to become a Physics professor some day.

I started tutoring by helping my friends with homework, and found that I enjoyed it. This turned into tutoring Math in high school, and eventually running nightly drop-in and upper level Physics tutoring at Skidmore.

I believe anyone can become skilled in any subject with the right teaching methods and practice. Nobody is inherently bad at something---they're just unfamiliar, haven't found the right way to learn yet, or both. My tutoring style is to guide the student to the solution in a collaborative way such that they feel accomplished and understand the core physical or mathematical concepts.

I primarily tutor Physics and Math. My favorite subject to tutor is any type of Physics, because I enjoy applying math to make predictions about the real world. It's almost like magical fortune telling!

Hobbies

I love to perform music on my saxophone, piano, or guitar. I also enjoy hiking, podcasts, and playing board games. In Physics, I research dark matter, the large scale structure of the universe, and gravity. I find cosmology and general relativity super interesting! It's like science-fiction in real life.
