Hello! I’m Derryck Hughes. I study Physics with a concentration in Astronomy. My goal is to eventually get my PhD in Astrophysics. I can tutor *almost* any class involving math or physics and I will try my best with any other subject.
I am an avid sci-fi and fantasy enjoyer. So feel free to ask me about the latest book I’ve read, movie I’ve watched, or anything else that springs to mind. I’m happy to strike up a conversation.
