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.

Certified Tutor

Hello and ni hao! I'm Tom, and I tutor Psychology, English, and basic Chinese Mandarin, as well as their respective standardized tests. I'm a graduate of SUNY Stony Brook and St. John's University, and am currently a doctoral student in Clinical Psychology. Prior to my doctoral studies, I was an adjunct teaching Psychology in Tucson, AZ, as well as a Chinese linguist. I believe learning can and should be fun, especially in subjects as embedded into our daily lives as Psychology and language!
