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.

Jack: Bath tutor

Certified Tutor

I first discovered tutoring in college. At first it was just to make some extra money but then I realized there are many benefits to being a tutor.

In addition to getting paid to teach, I am constantly learning myself. This happens as I am preparing for tutoring sessions as well as when I am explaining concepts to those who I am teaching.

Another aspect of tutoring that I find fulfilling is when is when my students have an "aha! moment." The sudden solidification of ones understanding of a concept is a phenomenon that I enjoy experience myself as well as seeing in others.

In addition to tutoring I love playing snowboarding, playing basketball, and hiking.

What is your teaching philosophy?

My teaching philosophy revolves around assisted discovery; rather than telling my students facts, I would rather start off with basics, and through asking a series of questions, assist the student in formulating their own definition and understanding of the concept at hand.
