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.

Thomas

Certified Tutor

My background is in astrophysics with a focus on the observational study of young stars and their properties. I am interested in how the properties of the youngest stars change as they grow and how these properties affect dusty planet forming material associated with the stars. As I learned how to conduct this research I earned a B.S. in Physics and Astronomy, and later, a Ph.D. in Physics and Astronomy. Along the way I have had the opportunity to lead problem sessions and laboratories for college physics and astronomy classes. I have also tutored a number of high school and college students in physics and related classes. I am excited to be here on Varsity Tutors tutoring Physics and Astronomy.
