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.

Ian: Westminster tutor

Certified Tutor

As a teacher, my philosophy is never that I teach a subject to students, but that I teach students' how to learn about subjects. Putting students first exemplifies the passion that I have for helping individuals succeed at the best levels at which they can. I recognize a student's strengths and capitalize on them with an open-minded approach. Together, the student and I create a dynamic learning environment in which we establish how the student's strengths can be used to dictate constructive and meaningful learning. Overall, I aim for the student to develop autonomy and success that leads to current and future learning opportunities.
