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.

Certified Tutor

My name is Kai Derksen and I am a graduated Masters student from the University of British Columbia in their Interdisciplinary Graduate Studies program. I completed my undergraduate majoring in History and minoring in Sociology where I graduated at the top of my class. I have considerable experience in most social science subjects, including (but not limited to) history, sociology, english, philosophy, anthropology, and political science. I have worked as a teaching assistant for 3 years now, and thus I am well versed in writing and marking university level papers (i.e. I know what is needed for a paper to get a good grade). Although I specialize in University / College level courses, I am more than happy to take on highschool level students. I look forward to connecting with students and discovering what methods work best for you to excel in your courses.
