UBC physics & astronomy TA and honours student specializing in high school physics and math tutoring.

Laura is the BEST physics tutor! She’s super patient, funny, and friendly.

I often take FOREVER to get to an answer and definitely have moments where I feel dumb, but she never makes me feel that way. She doesn’t just give me the answer, she asks me questions until I eventually figure it out myself, even when I’m pretty sure my brain has completely stopped working.

She’s somehow made physics feel a lot less impossible, which honestly is an accomplishment because physics does not come naturally to me. I’m really glad I found her!

Laura has been a dedicated volunteer science educator with the UBC Department of Physics & Astronomy’s outreach programs since 2022. Her passion for physics and mathematics, combined with her enthusiasm for science communication, has made her a highly valued and popular student instructor in both online and in-person settings. I highly recommend her ability to break down complex scientific concepts into clear and engaging content for learners of all ages.

Laura and I studied physics together for a whole year while we were in the same university and have remained friends since. We spent a lot of time together doing assignments, labs and helping each other prepare for exams. Laura is a genuinely kind, funny and caring person who always had my back when school was hard. If I couldn’t understand something, and Laura did, she would make sure I wasn't leaving there until I understood, no matter how long it took! I highly recommend her as a tutor. You’ll learn and you’ll laugh.

I highly recommend her as a physics tutor! She’s currently studying Honours Physics and Astronomy at UBC and has a genuinely strong understanding of physics, but what really makes her stand out is her ability to explain difficult concepts in a clear and approachable way.

She’s patient, thoughtful, and very good at breaking complicated problems down step by step without making you feel overwhelmed. Rather than just showing you how to get an answer, she focuses on helping you understand the reasoning and intuition behind it, which makes a huge difference when learning physics.

She’s also incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, so asking questions never feels intimidating. Whether you’re struggling with the basics or working through more challenging physics, I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely excellent tutor.
