...students in class that struggled, and I loved to do so. I realized that while things came easily to me, it was not always the case for my fellow classmates, so I happily helped them pick up the slack. As long as someone wanted to learn, I was always available to help them out. My love of learning I tried to engender in them, with mixed results. First, off I have a degree in Mathematics,...

...these subjects more fundamentally, and now, I feel like I am in a position to offer others an insight into these subjects that I wasn't given. I've found that one of the best ways to introduce students to a new subject or idea is through motivating examples or real world problems. I prefer not to give students the answer, but gently lead them to it, so that in the end they gain some satisfaction in...

...help with homework. Since then, I was a tutor at my first college, where I tutored groups of college-aged students in math and physics. Since I began tutoring, I've loved the connections I was able to make with students, as well as the joy of watching each student become more confident and proud of themselves as they work through the subjects they initially had struggled with. I also love challenging myself in determining ways I...

Optics Tutoring FAQ
Optics is a division of physics that concerns the behavior and properties of light. This includes light's interactions with matter, along with the development of instruments that use and/or detect it. The basis of a study in optics is the classical electromagnetic description of light. Since this is difficult to apply in practice, practical optics often uses simplified models, such as geometric optics. This treats light as a collection of rays that travel in straight lines. These rays bend when they either pass through or reflect off surfaces. Digging deeper, physical optics, which uses a more comprehensive model of light, includes wave effects like diffraction and interference. Finally, there are light effects that require quantum mechanics to explain them. Optics is relevant to many fields - photography, medicine (especially ophthalmology and optometry), certain engineering disciplines, and astronomy, to name a few. If you're studying this advanced field, you might wish to consider the benefits of optics tutoring. Varsity Tutors is here so you can find an excellent optics tutor today.
Optics students may study and/or research a wide range of topics, and Varsity Tutors can connect you with a tutor who is familiar with your particular area of study. That may be the nature of the absorption and admission of light, optical quantum information processing, remote sensing, diffractive optics, or others.
Working with a private tutor has many benefits. For one, your tutor can study with you at your pace, rather than your being beholden to a daily syllabus. If you're feeling confident with physical optics, you and your tutor can move on from that quickly. On the other hand, if you are struggling with understanding electromagnetic theory, your tutor can slow things down and work with you through the concepts and applications until you are confident in your knowledge and abilities.
Your tutor can also use your preferred learning style as a guide to your sessions. If you're more of an auditory learner, your tutor can help you develop mnemonics to aid your study of interference and diffraction. If you prefer to learn visually, your tutor can locate diagrams and charts to help you illustrate concepts. It's this type of individual attention that makes working with an experienced optics tutor so helpful.
Varsity Tutors also wants to help you find a tutor who can work within your schedule. You might prefer meeting in the morning, afternoon, or evening, on your campus or in your home. In all these instances, you can take advantage of the Varsity Tutors live learning platform in order to meet your tutor online. Whatever your optics tutoring needs are, get in touch with Varsity Tutors today.
