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

Hello, my name is Brian Loane, and I am a recent graduate from Penn State University, Schreyer Honors College. I will be attending Boston College this fall to pursue a Master's program in English. While at Penn State, I double-majored in English and Comparative Literature while minoring in Philosophy. I have experience tutoring students in various subjects related to English. Whether a student needs help crafting and editing an essay for a summer assignment or for a college application, or if a student wants to practice and improve their reading comprehension, I can be of assistance. I spent much of the last four years working with Penn State students to craft essays and better understand works of literature. For instance, I helped a fellow student compose a stronger and more cohesive argument in an essay regarding Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. I also led discussions and deliberations in a book club which helped students understand books such as Moby-Dick and the Odyssey. I am now looking forward to assisting new students.
