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.

Margo: Downey tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a veteran teacher who has really enjoyed teaching people of all ages from 5-85. I like to make students feel relaxed and confident so that he/she can achieve excellence. I believe in positive reinforcement and have great patience. A thousand questions directed to me means that you're interested and they never deter me or frustrate me, so ask away. I took early retirement from teaching, but then I really missed the student/teacher interaction. I enjoy my students, so I don't mind going the extra mile for one. Also, a one on one relationship, as opposed to a group situation, makes difficult situations vanish so much more quickly. I'm committed to helping and I'm excited to meet my new students.
