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.

Robert: North Aurora tutor

Certified Tutor

Following graduation with a BA from the University of Washington in 1973, I joined the Peace Corps in Morocco and embarked on my career teaching English. After that, I returned to the university of Washington for graduate studies. From 1980 to 2021, I have taught ESL (TEFL certification), ABE-GED, Corrections and Homeless Education, Developmental Education (certification), and College Freshman English, at home and abroad, with 15 years teaching in Saudi Arabia; therefore, I have met and helped learners of all levels improve their English reading, writing, listening, speaking, and grammar skills. Throughout my experiences as an educator, I have improved and increased my skills and sensitivity always to provide learner-oriented lessons in order to help students feel comfortable, progress, and have fun in the process. Currently, I am offering lessons in all levels and forms of English to native and non-native speakers as well as Beginning Arabic for individuals eager to study this language. In my free time, I love reading, watching, and listening to articles and programs about history, politics, sports, and movies.
