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

As a PhD candidate in Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh and a graduate of Princeton University (degree in Philosophy and Neuroscience), I bring deep knowledge and insight into our sessions, helping you build confidence in understanding complex concepts across a wide range of fields. Whether you're struggling with coursework, preparing for exams, or seeking to deepen your understanding, I am here to assist you every step of the way.

I teach the core subjects (math, science, history, reading/writing) through the high school and intro-college levels.

My teaching method emphasizes interactive learning, encouraging students to actively engage with the material. This involves:

-Personalized Approach: I tailor my teaching to the individual needs of each student, recognizing that everyone has a unique learning style.

-Socratic Method: I ask open-ended questions to stimulate critical thinking and elicit a deeper understanding.

-Case Studies and Real-World Applications: I use examples from current events, historical contexts, and hypothetical scenarios to teach core concepts.
