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.

Dwight

Certified Tutor

I taught English for years in the United States at four elite college preparatory high schools and three universities and colleges. At those high schools, I specialized in Honors American Literature and Honors World Literature and was included in "Who's Who Among America's Teachers" in 1994; at the collegiate level, freshman writing.
I hold a California Community College Instructor Credential (Valid for Life) in Language Arts/Literature and Philosophy/Religion.
My academic background includes two Master's Degrees, with an emphasis in religion, literature, and humanities, followed by completing all university post-graduate courses in literature required to advance to a Ph.D. dissertation phase of study. In those academic endeavors, my GPA averaged between 3.8 and 4.0 for all graduate degrees.
Professionally, in addition to teaching English, I retired honorably as a US military officer, with my last significant postings being in or near Washington DC.
As an online tutor, I am most interested in helping students acquire better writing skills, which are prerequisites for academic and professional success beyond high school.
