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.

Thomas

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Michigan State University (BA: History, International Relations, Social Relations, and Political Theory), The University of Strathclyde (MSc: Historical Studies), and Central Michigan University (MA and ABD: History).

I have taught college (history and honors writing) and test prep for the past fourteen years. I have also worked as a tutor, book editor, author (on test prep), game-based-learning instructor, and standardized test designer and scorer during these years. While I teach a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, Writing, and Test Prep.

While I do not have formal training in teaching either non-traditional or alternative learners, I have been successful in helping students of all backgrounds achieve academic success.
