BEN G.

Hello! Winnipeg born and raised, I have a B.Sc in Physics with minors in Mathematics and Computer Science. This led to a PhD in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manitoba and ultimately working as an astrophysicist with NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center.
I found my love of teaching through outreach events at the university planetarium, Science Rendezvous, and leading the astrophysics course laboratory sessions. Now I am back home and looking to pursue a teaching career.
I have more than 10 years experience with tutoring and teaching students of varying levels and backgrounds and know that the same approach will not work for everyone. Together let’s figure out which approach will work for you.
