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.

I love listening to music and reading books in my spare time. I also try to stay as active as possible by going to the gym and walking my two dogs as much as possible. Being a native of the Seattle area also helps me know some of the great places in the area that I can venture to and spend time in the great out doors to relax when not at work or school.
