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.

David

Certified Tutor

I am a publishing writer of fiction and a teacher of literature and writing at the high-school and college levels. Simply put, I love the English language, and I have devoted my professional and creative lives to it. I believe that English composition is an art and a science, and it requires mechanical knowledge and intuition. I believe that both can be taught. I love to teach, and I love to help students of any grade level or reading proficiency improve their ability with English prose, which is, I think, the most important and practical skill a person can have.
