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.

Alec

Certified Tutor

I am a junior studying chemical engineering at the University of Michigan. I have experience with preparing for and taking the ACT and SAT, as well as expertise in a variety of high school-level subjects. I am an easygoing person with a lot of patience, and I have experience tutoring peers from my high school, as well as my younger sister. I love helping people understand new concepts and I strive to make material interesting to students, as I believe a vested interest in material can drastically improve a student's understanding and performance.

What is your teaching philosophy?

Be patient with students, and provide them with opportunities to master material on their own

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

Introduce myself, and find out a little more about them; their interests, hobbies, and favorite TV shows. This will help me provide relevant examples and really connect with them in the learning process.
