Locke Patton
I am a life-long astrophysics, mathematics, coding and physics fanatic. I received a master’s degree in astrophysics from Harvard and a bachelor’s degree in physics and astronomy from the University of Washington. I first started tutoring in exchange for coffee when I entered Portland State University at 16, but under the guidance of Mr. Minato, I learned to tutor full-time during a gap year. He first introduced me to my love of physics in his middle school classroom. I adore tutoring all sorts of STEM fields, as it is rarely about the topic for me, but about learning how to best teach each individual. Let's find the ways that you learn best, and if we do it right, find your spark for learning. I won’t give you an equation without helping you build the intuition of how to build it again. But the more fun we have while learning, the better. So prepare for some fabulous math and physics jokes. In my spare time, you're likely to catch me bouldering, finding obscure science or craft YouTube videos, training for triathlons, practicing Thai or playing lots of board games.
