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.

James

Certified Tutor

My experience includes teaching students at both middle school and high school levels and ranges from teaching students in an alternative program to advanced students in a rigorous early college program. I have also taught English as a second language and high school completion/credit recovery courses. I believe that ALL students can learn and that each student is an individual with their own unique learning style. My teaching style varies with my students, as I tailor my methods to the individual learning styles of my students. Prior to going into teaching, I worked in business management—this experience gives me a unique insight into the business world and allows me to help my students make connections between what they are learning in school and how it applies to their lives.
