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.

Brian: Roanoke tutor

Certified Tutor

I am currently an honors physics and mathematics student at Virginia Tech and I'm a TA for several introductory E&M classes. I tutor high school and introductory college-level physics and AP physics classes including physics 1, physics C mechanics, and physics C E&M. I love helping students because there is no greater feeling than helping someone achieve something they thought they couldn't do. I especially like tutoring physics because it is often a subject that people think they can never understand just because it's "physics" but with some guidance, I think it's something everyone can understand and appreciate. My goal is to help every student understand physics not just get the right answer and I do this by asking them questions as a way to guide them towards the answers. This allows the student to come to the answer through their own reasoning and thereby helps them understand it. Outside of academics, I enjoy running, drinking coffee, cooking, and baking.

Undergraduate Degree: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University - Bachelor of Science, Physics

Hobbies

I have many different interests in academia and I like to take in as much information as possible. My main areas of interest are astrophysics and physics education research and I am currently working on a radio astronomy research project. Outside of academia, I exercise as a way to stay fit but also as a way to destress and stay sane. Running is the main source of that exercise. Outside of that, I love to cook and try different recipes and to bake as many things as I can.
