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.

Varsity Tutors really helped me understand the concepts during my Calculus 2 class. My tutor has such amazing patience and is open to many questions! Lastly, was always on time and very prompt. Highly suggest Varsity Tutors.

James

Certified Tutor

I have been a qualified teacher for sixteen years and have taught for nineteen. My philosophy is everyone learns when they enjoy what they are doing. This is why I foster and create a love of learning in itself, making sure I am part of this process. Tutoring allows me to focus much more on the needs of individual students without the constraints or influences of the school classroom, which is why I enjoy it so much.
My favourite subjects to tutor are maths and English Literature, however I also enjoy Physics.
When I tutor, I enjoy the learning journey, therefore I use a range of questioning skills as well as being flexible enough to take each student on their own journey.
I have a TESL Diploma as well, which I have found incredibly useful, as it has enabled me to support a vast array of different pupils over the years. Outside of teaching, I love following sport, particularly football and my team Luton Town, plus I have travelled to most countries in Europe, although I would very much love to visit many others in the Far East and South America. Finally, I love reading a range of books, although I would say that sci-fi and crime novels are my favourites!
