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

I have passion for teaching and have been providing private tutoring for over 15 years.

I find it easy to relate to students on many levels which helps build a special bond and create a friendly learning environment.

I have helped children as young as 5 years of age. This has included starting from basic elementary reading and writing.

Majority of my students mostly exceed their predicted grades and obtain A/B grades.

Tutoring Experience
I have been teaching up to GCSE level for approximately 15 years now. I have taught adults as well as children, including children with learning difficulties.

Tutoring Approach
I believe in 'no size fits all' so my approach is very much tailored to the individuals needs.

I encourage the children to understand the topics rather than memorising the material. This helps the students to apply the knowledge to many different problems.

At the end of each session I set homework according to the topics taught in class. I also ensure the students are tested regularly to keep on top of their revision. This helps manage the stress levels closer to the exam period as well as identifying areas/topics of concern.
