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.

Sam: Ottawa tutor

Certified Tutor

I am passionate about personal growth, learning new things and education and I'm excited to enter the world of online tutoring! I work as an instructor for the Northwest Outward Bound School during the summer months instructing expeditionary rafting on the Deschutes River and rock climbing at Smith Rock State Park. I work primarily with adolescents, but Outward Bound also works with adults and veterans. I recently acquired a TEFL(Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certificate in Prague, Czech Republic and am excited to use the teaching skills I learned.
