What prompted you to seek tutoring?

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.

John: Cheektowaga tutor

Certified Tutor

I am an experienced college professor with a Ph.D. in Psychology from New Mexico State University. I have taught at the University of Arkansas, the University of North Florida, and Xavier University School of Medicine in Aruba. I am also pursuing an MFA in Studio Art (specializing in Performance Art). I have children who are 12, 14, and 15 years old and have been their personal tutor all their lives. I love teaching people of all ages in a variety of subjects. My main areas of training have been in Psychology, Mathematics, Statistics, Writing, and Research Design. I have studied many other subjects, including Sociology, Philosophy, Medical Humanities, and Art. I think of teaching and learning as a shared experience. I can become interested in just about anything. I believe that everyone has the ability to learn and I have the patience to help any student, no matter their prior experiences with tutors/teachers. I have lots of interests and hobbies apart from academic ones.
