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.

Jacob: Cary tutor

Certified Tutor

I graduated from Michigan State University magna cum laude with a Bachelors in Physics and Astronomy in 2011. While there I worked as a teaching assistant for astronomy and advanced math methods courses. In 2018, I completed my Ph.D. in Physics from the Ohio State University (OSU). My thesis focused on a search for ultra-high energy neutrinos. While at OSU, I taught undergraduate courses in Newtonian physics, special relativity, and electricity and magnetism. I also participated in physics outreach programs focused on facilitating interest in Physics for local middle and high school students. I believe that if a student has the desire and patience to learn, no branch of mathematics or physics is out of reach for them as long as they have, or are willing to work on developing a firm basis of earlier subjects.
