Intro Astronomy Tutoring

20


20 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Apr 09, 2017

I will help you with specific problems and general questions related to introductory astronomy courses, or even questions not related to a class (i.e. if you are learning just for fun). While I will not do your homework for you, I will help you through example problems, give hints and suggestions, and explain concepts you are struggling with.
A few possible topics are formation of stars and planets, life cycle of stars, phases of the moon, eclipses, transits, exoplanets, and more.

Training & Qualifications


I minored in astronomy in college. My classes included two introductory classes, one on the universe at large and one on our solar system. Additionally, my work study was working the Observatory Open Nights on Fridays, showing people the telescopes and answering questions.

Availability & Preferences


I'm generally free afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My schedule is flexible.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

Physics/Astronomy Discussion

About Ainsley R

I have a B.A. in physics with minors in astronomy and Russian, and also did a semester-long study abroad in New Zealand. I have many interests, which include aerospace, crochet, typography and calligr...aphy, robotics and artificial intelligence, firespinning, culture, religion, psychology, and more. I also host bimonthly Death Cafes (group gatherings where you can discuss death and dying in a safe space, www.deathcafe.com). I love learning and am currently seeking work in which my degree can be utilized, though grad school may be in my near future instead (I'm looking at aerospace, master's level). Since I don't have work, money is rather tight, making Simbi and encouraging option for continuing to learn new skills and share those I already possess. For over two years I ran a science writing blog, From Physics to English (https://fromphysicstoenglish.wordpress.com), though I have put it to rest as I work towards grad school. More recently I have opened an Etsy shop, focusing on paracord inspired by LGBTQA pride (https://etsy.com/shop/GalleryAinsley). Both are also linked below. I am interested in using Simbi mostly to help with my many interests and skills, whether it be working on my Russian, discussing one of my many interests, having fun with typography services, or helping people in whatever way I can. I am also quite interesting in using Simbi to learn things that I usually would not persue, or know where to start learning.show more
