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.

Derrick: Weston tutor

Certified Tutor

I recently completed my BSc in mechanical engineering with a minor in aerospace engineering from the Missouri University of Science and Technology. I learned that I love teaching after spending 4 months in Ukraine teaching English and science courses to young students. I have continued volunteering and teaching online with my older students. I have always been an avid lover of education with interests ranging from astronomy and space, to the ancient Greeks and Romans. As an engineer, I specialize in STEM courses (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), but my variety of other academic interests allow me to confidently each a variety of subjects. I think that education is something that should be fun, and I am determined to infuse each of my lessons with enthusiasm and optimism.

Hobbies

While I love the classroom, my interests do not stop there. I am a very outdoorsy and active person. I have ridden my bicycle coast to coast across the USA, completed an Ironman Triathlon, and gone on numerous week long hikes. I also love to cook and bake different recipes that I discover while traveling.
