I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Jacob

Certified Tutor

Hi, my name is Jacob and I am a current PPE (Politics, Philosophy, and Economics) student at George Washington University.

As a student myself, I know we each face our own challenges and obstacles throughout our education. As a tutor, I work with each individual student to meet their needs and achieve their goals. I have plenty of skills and knowledge at your disposal, but my most important contribution as your tutor involves encouraging and empowering you to assert control over your own learning process. It's not my job to motivate you, it's my job to remind you how and why you can motivate yourself! Whether you're dealing with tests, everyday classes, AP classes/test, public speaking skills, and more, I would love to work with you!
