Hi, my name is Lawrence. I have been teaching physics and astronomy at the university level for over 20 years. I know how difficult learning physics can be. I emphasize the concepts first and then simplify the steps needed to find the correct solution to a problem. I am very patient and understanding. I am sure that I can help build you into a confident problem solver. I have experience teaching a culturally diverse student population as I have taught at several universities including the University of Alaska Anchorage and the University of Hawaii Hilo. Everyone can learn physics if they have the right work-ethic and are properly instructed. The most important key to succeeding is practice, practice, practice. You can do it! I have a PH.D. from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. My research was funded by a NASA PIDDP Grant and by the Alabama Space Grant Consortium. I have presented my research at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference and my Dissertation "Mossbauer Spectroscopy of K-T Boundary Clays from North American and European Sites" was published in Meteoritics. Although, I loved research my dream was always to help educate students in physics which I have enjoyed doing for many years. With over 20 years' experience ,I can help you!

I'm a coterminal master's student at Stanford University in California majoring in Computer Science (Biocomputation). Throughout high school and college, I've taken many courses in computer science, the life sciences (biology and chemistry), and math; and I've been through a lot of standardized tests. For computer science in particular, I have a lot of experience writing software in Python and C++ for AI and systems classes, and I'll be interning as a software engineer at Facebook this summer. I got a lot of great tips and mentorship from tutors along the way, and would love to pass along what I know!
I am a graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a minor in Art Studio. I am currently working toward my Masters of Arts in Game Development at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I am deeply passionate about helping students unleash their full potential. Witnessing the "aha" moments when they grasp a challenging concept is very rewarding. I tutor a range of subjects from computer science principles and programming languages (C, C++, Java, etc.) to game development in Unity and 3D art in various software.
I'm eager to teach students how to make connections and understand any part of the world they need!
I am currently a rising senior at the University of Kentucky. I am working towards my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in math and neuroscience. I have been tutoring students from elementary to high school for four years in math. I enjoy working with students, of course to provide academic support, but also to build an environment that encourages them to think outside the box and feel comfortable in doing so. I do tutor high school chemistry, but my primary focus is on various levels of math. From my experience, teaching mathematical concepts can be challenging without being able to adapt to the strengths of weaknesses of every individual. I believe it is crucial that students are given an opportunity to learn that adheres to their individual characteristics. Aside from academia, I enjoy staying physically active, volunteering throughout my community, and being a huge sports fanatic.
I am 22 years old and just graduated from the University of Kentucky with a double degree in French and Biochemistry. I have been a tutor for over a year now at UK's tutoring center. I believe that anyone can learn anything with enough practice and encouragement, and I love helping students overcome challenges and gain more self-confidence!
I am a graduate of UofL with a BS degree in Biochemistry and minor in Biology, heading to medical school at UVA this fall. I have spent 5 semesters as a teaching assistant for the Chemistry Department, spending three semesters teaching general chemistry and two semesters teaching organic chemistry. I have also spent a year as a small-group tutor, helping individual students through tough chemistry topics. While I have a strong background in biology, I am most passionate about tutoring chemistry I love its order, set in rules and mathematics. Outside of academics, I spend my time outdoors, bouldering, or playing couch co-op video games.
I am pursuing a B.S. degree in Neuroscience at the University of Kentucky that I will successfully complete in the Fall of 2020. I have tutored a wide range of students, both my peers and younger, in mostly STEM related fields. Although I tutor in a few different subjects, the subjects I am most passionate about are College level Biology, Organic Chemistry, and Biochemistry. Learning about a difficult topic may seem challenging at times, but I believe that everyone has the ability and motivation to successfully tackle difficult concepts with some help!
I am an energetic, positive, 26-year-old teacher who graduated with my MFA from the University of Notre Dame in 2017. I am currently teaching Second Grade, but have extensive and varied teaching experience, having taught students of all ages, even university level! I also have experience working with students with behavior and learning differences. It is my goal to make all of my students feel encouraged, heard, motivated, and successful.
I am medical student attending the University of Kentucky. My experience tutoring has both informal and formal components. Informally, I have tutored fellow students in classes that we share. Formally, I teach an organic chemistry recitation at UK. Subjects that I tutor are organic chemistry, mathematics, and biology. I do not have a favorite subject to tutor because I find there to be something very interesting about each subject. My philosophy to teaching is to look at it with the perspective of an enjoyable intellectual conversation. Learning is life-long so let us find the enjoyment in learning. My hobbies outside of academia include listening to music, cooking, and badminton.
I am a graduate of Rice University with prior teaching and tutoring experience focusing on middle school/high school math. I have been working with Varsity Tutors since 2017 and tutoring in math since I was in High School. I enjoy tutoring as a means of imparting knowledge on to others and find no better feeling than when a student is able to fully comprehend a concept and replicate that knowledge on their own.
I am currently studying International business at Tamkang University in Taipei, Taiwan. I have studied Chinese for 1.5 years. I am able to speak on a conversational level. To be more specific, I have tested TOCFL level 3/B1. I am a TEFL certified English teacher. I have spent the past 3 years traveling the world and teaching English/tutoring basic math and science. My students range from teaching English to basic/advanced adults in Greece, private tutoring the children of a very wealthy family in Beijing, private clients in Taiwan, to clients online as well as teaching at a school in Taiwan. I truly love teaching and tutoring. I believe it is a very rewarding experience. There are times when students don't understand what they are learning, this is inevitable; but the moment that the student grasps the concept is very rewarding. At that moment I know that I am actually helping this student and they are grasping the content. This is my favorite part of teaching.
