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.

Ryan

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Michigan State University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and Russian. Since graduation I've been a part of a research team at Michigan State which is creating an archive of the collapse of the Soviet Union. From this, my education, and my upbringing from living in Russia I have acquired a unique perspective about Russia, and the post-soviet space, that I can give to students. I can tutor students not only in the Russian language, but all aspects of Russian culture, such as history, film, cuisine, politics and more. Other than Russian, I am able to tutor history, as well as political science from my education of my International Relations degree but also because of my passion for history and politics. I hope to bring the knowledge and skills I learned through my education and experiences to students to not only help them succeed, but also discover new passions. I've been helping others since my time at university, where I have helped teach Russian to members of my research team as well as teaching research and other academic skills to members of MSU's competitive Model United Nations team. I believe in working from the student's perspective, meaning seeing their skills and interests. Instead of having the student follow a catch all system, I want to tailor the learning in a way that works for them, and I want the student to enjoy learning the subject material. Outside of academia I enjoy watching MSU sports, creative writing, and spending time with my cat.
