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

My interests and academic skills have been numerous and varied over the course of my life and I have my parents to thank for that gift. The son of two educators, I learned at a very young age the value of study and aquired the tools necessary to perform well in most academic environments, as a reader, a writer, and a critical thinker. The skills of learning one subject can often help us learn others and it is my hope, as a tutor, that I can help you develop not just the knowledge you need but the skills to aquire such knowledge more easily. With these, and a few simple test taking tactics, you will gain confidence in your knowledge and your ability test well on these subjects.

I have an MBA in public and non-profit management (same core work as an MBA + an extra semester and a half of non-profit coursework, so have been through the battery of courses to prepare and complete a management program. I was also a physics student for much of my undergraduate schooling, so I have a strong aptitude for maths and many of the sciences. If you are interested in tutoring in areas of business study (Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Economics, etc...), maths through pre-calculus, basic sciences, or test preparation in the ACT, SAT, GMAT or Praxis, I am a good fit for you. Happy learning!
