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.

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!!!!!!!!!

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.

Nicholas P.

2 Astronomy lessons

Ryan is an outstanding tutor whose deep knowledge of astronomy and coding made a huge difference in my learning journey. He has a rare ability to make complex topics feel approachable, and his patient, hands-on style consistently met me where I was. Ryan guided me through an astronomy research project from start to finish, helping me build the skills and confidence to publish a first-author paper in the Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society, which was a much-needed win.
