Stephen D.

18 astrophysics lessons

He kept me completely interested and involved with knowledge and antidotes about the universe. He is willing to work with me and make sure I understand fully what is involved with astrophysics.

Diane P.

9 astrophysics lessons

She’s quite shy, so his 1:1 teaching style made her feel comfortable to ask questions. He’s very knowledgeable and respectful. Very easy to talk to. He treated my daughter like an intelligent human being rather than an annoyance. She went from giving up on her dreams to a renewed excitement about a career in astrophysics. She was much more prepared to take the AP Physics exam than had she relied on her high school teacher alone. I recommend Randy to any parent or student!

Shakib C.

Professor Even is a gifted teacher when it comes to explain difficult and complicated astrophysics problems. He explained my assignment with crystal clear graphs and equations. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to understand difficult concepts. Thank you so much, Professor Even!
