Oyku G.

97 Astronomy lessons

I missed the first quarter of the course due to emergency issues and when I first started to engage in my Astronomy course, my professor told me I would not get anything higher than a B average even if I aced all my future homework, quizzes, labs, discussion questions, midterms, and final. I was afraid I would struggle to barely pass Astronomy. At this point, I knew that I had to seek professional help. I was also struggling to find someone expert at not only knowing but also teaching Astronomy.

Brendan H.

9 Astronomy lessons

I sought a tutor help about half way through my semester. I was a little unsure at first because I figured my Astronomy grade was far past recoverable. I've always had a huge issue with math related subjects so doing both Astronomy and a Stats class was a bit daunting. Jason made me feel very at ease and helped break down the Astronomy concepts into something I could wrap my head around. Each lesson when I met with him consisted of going through each problem.

Amy P.

2 Astronomy lessons

Dr. Dan is literally my LIFESAVER for my college-level astronomy class. I was about to have a final and barely knew how to do my practice exam. But I learned so much with Dr. Dan. He is incredibly knowledgeable in the areas of astronomy, physics, and math and is able to explain complex matters in a simple, straightforward manner. Also he has a great personality to work with, fun and patient!! I would definitely recommend him to any of you who struggle with astronomy or physics!!!!!!!!!
