What prompted you to seek tutoring?

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.

Varsity Tutors really helped me understand the concepts during my Calculus 2 class. My tutor has such amazing patience and is open to many questions! Lastly, was always on time and very prompt. Highly suggest Varsity Tutors.

Certified Tutor

I like physics and chemistry enough to teach it to high school students for a few decades.
I think people are people. We all want to do succeed, do well, learn things, and know stuff. We just need to find a way that works for us, and help each other out.
There is always room for kindness.
Laughter helps.
My experience includes being a member of the College Board's AP Physics 2 Test Development Committee for 3 years, then advancing to be co-chair of the committee for another 3 years (serving the maximum allowed terms in both roles). I've also been the Physics Teacher Representative for the Minnesota Science Teacher's Association.
I have a bachelor's degree in Physical Science Education (physics and chemistry) and a master of arts in education.
I have also taught fundamentals of engineering principles and a few introductory robotics & programming courses. Programming is not a strength of mine. I find it interesting.

Hobbies

I am a music lover. I played the saxophone back in the day. I have started teaching myself the guitar. I've started that a few times. It might stick one day. As I've aged I've started to enjoy exercise and moving around more. I am a Vikings fan. Sometimes that is AWESOME! Sometimes, wide left.
