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

As a PhD candidate studying soil microbiology, I have a wealth of experience in earth and environmental science, and biology. Before entering graduate school, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Carleton College. In graduate school, I have taught as a teachers assistant undergraduate level courses Principle of Soil Science, and Soil Microbiology. I love to teach, and I think learning should be fun and engaging. Everyone has a different learning style, so a tutor needs to be adaptable. I strongly believe that the key to helping students learn is listening, being patient and focusing on the students learning style.
