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.

Damien: Lawrence tutor

Certified Tutor

My name is Damien and I am available to tutor in a wide variety of fields (Test prep, Chemistry, Physics, History, Math, English, etc.). I have 2 years of experience teaching chemistry at the college level and 2 years of experience tutoring local Santa Barbara students in a variety of subjects. My students range from middle school to college and include students from Cate School, SBCC, and UCSB. I completed my PhD in Materials Chemistry at UCSB. I also double majored in Chemistry and History at Cornell University. I have excellent standardized test scores and can guide students in test prep to increase their scores.

I am excited to help students improve their learning and improve their testing scores. My favorite part about tutoring is when it clicks for a student. Grasping a difficult subject is a great reward. If you are serious about learning one of the subjects I teach, I look forward to working with you! If my student puts in the effort, I guarantee they will understand the desired subject once I have worked with them.
