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: La Habra tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a tutor in the Alexandria and Washington DC area. I graduated from Duke University this May with a bachelor's degree in Political Science and Mandarin Chinese. I am also a Second Lieutenant in the US Air Force. Now that my time as a student has ended, I am taking the skills and experience I acquired and putting them to use helping others reach their academic goals. I tutor students of any age in a variety of subjects, but I particularly enjoy English, History, Government and Mathematics. I also have extensive experience with Standardized Tests, including the ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, AP exams and others. I have tutored middle school students in English and Math, high school students in Algebra and US History, and private clients in SAT test preparation. Whether you are preparing for a major exam or simply need a bit of assistance with your coursework, I can help. Having recently graduated, I understand the challenges and pressures students face, especially given the rising cost (and competitiveness) of education. I will bring the patience, commitment and expertise to ensure that you or your loved one succeeds.
