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.

Jacob: Crestwood tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a current senior at the University of Chicago about to graduate with a BA, double majoring in Anthropology and Philosophy. My interests have always been pretty diverse, from both stem to the humanities, and I am comfortable teaching in a variety of different subjects.

Tutoring has long been an important part of my life and I take a lot of joy in being able to teach others. I started on a volunteer basis during high school, where I taught middle school Math and English, and I have continued tutoring middle and high school students while in college. I definitely have the most experience teaching Math, and I think I have seen the most immediate improvements while teaching Math. However, I particularly take joy in teaching English, especially critical reading, as many students are surprised by how much they can improve in the long-term.

Thank you for reading through my personal statement and I look forward to teaching you or your student soon!
