What prompted you to seek tutoring?

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

I have voluntarily taken a leave of absence from my current position to spend some time with my family and friends in my hometown, Austin. I graduated with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering with minors in bioengineering, chemistry and math. I find enjoyment in the mentor/mentee relationship and I would love to be a part of your tutoring experience.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

During the first session, I would like to get the student's background in the subject(s) we will be working on together along with the student's strengths and weaknesses.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

During the tutoring sessions, I will also discuss studying advice so the student can learn to strengthen their skills outside of tutoring.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

There are always different ways to tackle any learning difficulties. The student and I will find the best way to conquer any issues.
