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.

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

In a typical first session, I would meet the student and see what they wanted to work on and how they learn best. Then I would make a specific plan with the student to cover the material they wanted to focus on.

What types of materials do you typically use during a tutoring session?

Depending on the focus on the session, I might use a notebook, colored writing instruments, a calculator, and a ruler.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I think it is important to be patient and understanding.
