Jon: Westminster SAT test prep instructor
My educational path has followed paths of privilege -- private prep school, the Ivies for undergraduate and graduate degrees -- but my outlook on education is not conservative. I see success in terms of curiosity that grows throughout a lifetime, and reaches into new domains. Confident, creative thinkers are always in short supply, so it feels good to collaborate with Varsity Tutors to encourage more of them.

My goal is to work together to pick up the pieces that were lost or are close, but not quite there: learning the way you want to learn and the way you learn best rather than having topics taught at you.
