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

I am a working environmental engineer. I've been a Peace Corps volunteer in Central America, and a soldier in Iraq. I've seen and done a lot of things, and I'm not even 40 yet! But through everything I've done, I've always been a problem solver. This is what led me back to engineering after so walking so many other paths.

I want to pass on my love problem solving in math and science. I'd also like to encourage more young people to gain general problem solving and logical thinking skills. With more young brains awake and working, humanity might be able to save itself from the mess we're in. Are you up to the challenge?

What is your teaching philosophy?

Sentence diagramming can be useful. It allows a reader to trace who is doing what to whom. Carried through a paragraph, it can create a visual representation of the actions conducted by the characters.
