Harper Clark
Astrophysics teacher | Tutor for 7 years
I hold a degree in Astrophysics from the Fashion Institute of Technology. My passion for understanding the cosmos drives my teaching approach, blending scientific rigor with creative thinking. With expertise in astrophysical concepts and a knack for simplifying complex ideas, I'm here to guide students through the wonders of the universe. Let's explore the stars together!
