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.

Donald

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Bowling Green State University (BGSU). I received my Bachelor of Science in Geology with a comprehensive science minor and a Master of Science in Geology with a Geophysics emphasis from BGSU. I attended the University of Toledo, where I studied in the master's program in Physics and Astronomy and studied water vapor clouds in the Martian atmosphere, and then at Purdue University, where I studied in the Doctoral program in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, working on Computational Geophysics and whole earth mantle convection, with a particular study of the uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau. I have worked as a geophysicist professionally in the oil and gas industry. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Physics in general, Thermodynamics specifically, and Geology. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be critically necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all my students. In my experience, helping struggling students gain skills builds the necessary confidence to succeed in further studies, and then to carry that success into other areas of life. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, tai chi, baking and cooking, and taking nature walks whenever possible.
