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.

Richard: San Rafael tutor

Certified Tutor

Raised in a small town in Ontario, Canada, I come from a background in radio both as a hobby and career (27 years on stations in Canada, the US and Ecuador). I have a Master of Science for Teachers from Le Moyne College, and have been certified in Elementary Ed 1-6, Students with Disabilities 1-6 and English 7-12. I enjoyed subbing from 2006-2017 in a number of area districts. Today, I continue to be behind the mike as an audiobook narrator and producer and do other voiceover work as well, such as museum guides. I love to read out loud and help students read and gain comprehension.
