Peter Worthington
Marine Systems Instructor

Peter Worthington joins the Marine Systems faculty as an additional instructor to work alongside Zachary Volpicelli and Harrison Ringel. His role includes lecturing, leading discussions, conducting interactive demonstrations, and organizing lab exercises.

His previous work experience includes 14 years of teaching AP Physics to high schoolers, 4 years of engineering, and nearly 24 years of technical work experience in marine propulsion and systems trades.

“It’s really great to be back in the classroom and an excellent Marine Mechanic Shop. The staff here at TLS, both teachers and administration, are so amazing friendly, experienced and team orientated. The quality and spirit is clearly demonstrated in the student body that is diverse, eager to learn, and sprinkled with a few real “characters”. Characters make life interesting! I hope to bring some character and my own desire to learn, my passion for connecting with students through physical theory and shop work but most importantly connect with them as a teacher-mentor within a creative and highly instructive environment that’s focused on the diagnostic part of Marine Propulsion and Systems work.” If you would like to contact Peter, you can contact him via email pworthington@landingschool.edu.

Hagerman states, “I hope to bring my strong desire to work with prospective students (and their families) with determining if The Landing School is the right fit for their very successful future. I find it highly rewarding assisting students through the admissions and financial aid processes. My background includes many years of Admission Management experience having worked at very small private colleges (two of which are right here in Maine). I enjoy the interacting with students, faculty, and administrative colleagues as well as Guidance Counselors & Career Advisors in the industry. I am excited to have joined The Landing School Community as it feels like a close-knit group that truly cares about the students that are here studying and preparing for the next chapter of their lives.
