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

Simply put, I love to tutor students. In high school I launched a tutoring program for elementary school students. After college I launched a tutoring program at a public school in Washington, DC. While working at Duke University, I mentored students on ways to engage constructively on policy issues.

When working with students, I'm continually seeking those "a-ha" moments when students grasp a challenging concept. They now know that concept for life, and can use it as a tool to expand their knowledge base.

Hobbies

I love to write. Some days it's 5,000+ words. Most days it's 1,000-2,000. I've run a fantasy football blog for more than a decade, and it's ballooned into a community of thousands of engaged readers. I also enjoy conducting data-driven research projects on NFL player performance to isolate probabilities of future performance based on various metrics.
