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.

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.
