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 strongly believe my long years of experience as an instructor and tutor in secondary and tertiary education make me well qualified to help students in my areas of expertise.

I believe in helping students find their own strengths and turn their weaknesses into strengths. In my tutoring, I guide students to learn and grow. I try as much as possible to get students to find answers themselves. I'm ready to provide answers where needed, but then I always try to make sure that students have a grasp on those answers and know the how and the why regarding answers.
