"Hi folks! My name is Ryan. I'm a full-time tutor and former physicist/astronomer with an excellent background in math, science, and English composition. I have 15 years teaching/tutoring experience with high school and college students. My primary subjects are physics, chemistry and math (from Algebra 1 to Calc II and Stats). I also consult with students on essays for college and scholarship applications.

I'm a National AP Scholar, National Merit Scholar, and NSF Graduate Research Fellow. I got a 1580 on my SAT and a 1520 on my GRE. I took and passed 10 AP tests (8 5s, 2 4s).
Perhaps most importantly, I've been told I am very empathetic. I am a product of public K-12 education and understand where kids are coming from who attend those schools. I also know that, particularly in math and the hard sciences, much of my work will be confidence building and challenging the negative self-talk about "not being a math person."
I love what I do! Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. Hope to hear from you soon!" less...
