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: Leesburg tutor

Certified Tutor

Current MA student at Washington University in St. Louis. Previously: Elon University (BA in English, 2013), University of Florida (Juris Doctor, 2016).

After practicing as an attorney for roughly a year-and-a-half after graduating law school, I realized that my true passion was for teaching, and am now back in school to pursue it as a career. I tutor a wide variety of subjects, most of which fall into one of three broad categories: writing, English, and test preparation. I profoundly enjoy tutoring in all of these categories, but as an English major, admit to something of a soft spot for that subject.

My goal as a tutor is to put my students in good position to make sustainable, long-term improvements in whatever subject we're working on. Communication and collaboration are key for me; I'm a firm believer that tutoring is most effective when both parties know exactly what they're doing, and why they're doing it.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exercising, creative writing, and overly competitive board gaming.
