"It's my pleasure to introduce myself as a Varsity Tutor, specializing in the sciences and mathematics. It's been a long journey that brought me to this point; one that's given me invaluable experiences that I bring to my teaching and tutoring style.

"Hi parents and students! My name is Forrest and I am a recent graduate of Wheaton College with a BA in English Writing and Psychology. My primary tutoring experience comes from my years working as a peer consultant at my school's Writing Center. I assisted other students in their own writing processes and helped them to discover ways to improve their thesis statements, organize their arguments, and convey their points in a formal, academic, but also unique way. Rather than just telling them the answers, I prefer to guide the student to come up with the best changes to improve their writing." ...
