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.

James

Certified Tutor

I'm a graduate of the University of Portsmouth where I received my Bachelor's Degree with First-Class Honours in English Literature and completed a Master's Degree in Literature the following year. Literature and language have always been great passions of mine and the skills I developed during my studies help me on a daily basis in creative writing and communication in general.

I firmly believe in the power of education and aim to make each lesson fun, relevant and tailored to the unique needs of every student. I also have experience tutor students with learning differences, including ADHD, Dslexia and Autism and aim to adapt each session to a student's individual learning style to maximise their potential.

I'm a professional guitarist and singer-songwriter with 20 years of experience playing guitar. I have been a self-employed musician for the last 6+ years, and in the time have performed at a wide variety of events and have toured extensively, performing covers and original music. I'm incredibly passionate about music and creativity and hope to play a role in helping the next generation share their passion and imagination.
