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.

Avram: Palos Heights tutor

Certified Tutor

I am graduate of Columbia University, where I studied Religion for my B.A., and of the Jewish Theological Seminary, where I also received a B.A. in Talmud and an M.A. in Jewish Education. I am also a recently ordained rabbi.
I've been tutoring and teaching now for four years. I enjoy most working one-on-one with students to help them grow in their areas of interest. I help my students develop plans of study, and of course guide them through difficult material. My role is to show my students the way through to understanding.
I am moving to Richmond with my wife, who is about to begin her residency in pediatrics. I enjoy cooking, reading, and watching TV - especially things I can binge on on Netflix. I also fall in and out of intense exercise regimens. Nothing makes me happier than to spend hours looking through a used bookstore, where I'll often find something that I've had in mind to buy for years - my collection is closing in on 1000 volumes.
