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.

Paul: Hempstead tutor

Certified Tutor

Hi! My name's Paul, and I just recently returned from 2 years of teaching in Zambia with the US Peace Corps! I have a degree in marine geology and minored in environmental studies. Backing up my classroom knowledge however, is a background in field research and education experience. I've dug up ancient soil and flash-froze sand, but I've also tackled pelicans and painted bat's toenails. My old class in Zambia ranged between 40 and 120 kids, and I taught everything from basic English grammer, to advanced physics!
I like to use my background in research and travels to ground seemingly abstract concepts in easy to understand language.
