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.

Do you want to pass that literature class with flying colors, or ace the verbal sections of any standardized test? Drop me a line!

I was born in Sweden, and after a lengthy stint as a grad student and editor in the U.K. I finally ended up in Wisconsin. I suppose I am well on my way to becoming a cheesehead by now.

I have taught and tutored in the U.S., England and Sweden -- ranging from elementary phonics to postmodern literature and Elizabethan revenge tragedy. But irrespective of whether I am teaching pre-K or college, I want to convey a sense of how amazing language and literature are.

Hobbies include, but are hopefully not limited to: spending time with my wife, chess, and admiring magpies and other equally intelligent corvids. I also read too much for my own good, and this includes everything from Beowulf to the back of Corn Flakes boxes.
