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.

Amy

Certified Tutor

Last December, I received my Master's Degree in Physics from Rice University. I graduated Austin College in 2015 with a triple major in Physics, Math, and Theatre, and a minor in Classical Civilizations. I have tutored physics both one-on-one and as a teaching assistant for a full class, in addition to answering lots of physics questions for friends and family. As of August 2016, I am a published author of A Space Dictionary for Kids: The Everything Guide for Kids who Love Space. I grew up with science, and try to share my excitement with anyone I come in contact with, student or not. Generally, I think the part of math and science that most people have the most trouble with is accepting that they can do it, and that math and science can be a lot of fun, if taught correctly.

When I have spare time, I read (mostly fantasy novels), play video games, and practice lightsaber fighting as part of my membership with Saberguild, a Star Wars charity lightsaber battle group. I currently own three lightsabers.
