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.

Andrew

Certified Tutor

I am an experienced tutor with 8 years of teaching and tutoring experience, successfully working with high school and college students and adult learners. I hold a Ph.D in biochemistry from Purdue University. My current research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanism of Schizophrenia.

My approach to tutoring is based on rooting and relating the subject matter to concepts the student is comfortable with. For example, using sports as a way to understand statistics.

I also teach new concepts by breaking them down into easy step-by-step approaches. Focusing on understanding the underlying concepts and reinforcing critical thinking skills for future success.

My overall goal is for my students to understand the high-level concepts and how to apply them to each question. This equips them with the critical thinking skills for any situation.
