About Me

My name is Zach, and I am a software engineer with a B.S. in Physics from Northeastern University. This will be my fifth year working with Varsity tutors, and I am very excited to meet and work with you! I'm very passionate about learning and have dedicated much of my time to learning as much as I possibly can about how the world works. Ice Hockey is also a large part of my life as I have been playing since I was 8. I also am very interested in music and currently learning how to play the piano and guitar. Throughout the last two years of my high school career, I spent upwards of 20 hours a week tutoring in subjects including AP Physics 1, AP Calculus AB/BC, Middle School Mathematics, Science, and Spanish, Regents Geometry, Regents Algebra, Regents Trigonometry, and US History. I understand how the young adolescent mind operates, and am able to employ several different teaching styles (e.g. visual, conceptual, verbal) due to my knowledge of the subject at hand. I also have much experience with adolescents through my tutoring experience, coaching ice hockey, and working at a summer camp. I am proficient in mathematics and most fields of science with special concentration in Calculus (1-3) and Physics (1-2), and have used these skills as an electronics tester and designer at Draper Labs. I have a passion in these fields and look to enhance students' understanding of the concept as opposed to merely memorizing information to pass an exam. I look forward to hearing from you, and helping you make great strides in your academic career!

Q&A with Zachary

While my style of teaching differs to meet the needs of each student, my philosophy stresses the importance of understanding the material at hand, rather than just memorizing information to pass an exam. Additionally, I add real world applications of the material whenever possible so that the student can really connect with what they are learning. I believe that when a student can connect to a topic or see its importance, the act of studying no longer becomes a chore; it becomes a passion.
