Award-Winning Seismology Tutors

Seismology is a relatively young scientific field that utilizes a combination of seismic waves and mathematics to study the structure of the earth's interior. Knowledge of both physics and calculus are usually prerequisites for the course. If you're having a hard time keeping up with your professor's lectures, Varsity Tutors can refer you to a certified Seismology tutor to increase your appreciation of the subject.

Here are some of the topics you may cover during Seismology tutoring sessions:

• Review of Physics and Mathematics Concepts
• Elastic Wave Propagation
• The Science Behind Earthquakes
• Interpretation of Travel Times
• Finite Frequency Effects
• Surface Wave Dispersion
• Seismic Tomography
• MATLAB, Unix, and Linux

College seismology tutoring allows students to learn at their own pace. For example, your tutor may provide practice problems outside of a scientific context to help you brush up on the calculus skills needed for this course. They may also review the physics of waves with you so that seismology makes more sense. When you're ready to start working on seismology, your tutor offers the flexibility to keep working on any topic until you are ready to move on. Rarely can a traditional classroom setting prove so adaptive to one individual's needs.
