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.

Lise

Certified Tutor

My name is Lise (pronounced "Lee-Cee" like Lacey, but with an e instead of a sound) Byars George (yes I have two last names with no hyphen).

I have had the pleasure of teaching undergraduate courses for 13 years both in person and online. I have taught courses in cultural anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, sociology and social science. I love working with students to find their passion and confidence.

In addition, I homeschooled my gymnast daughter for half of third grade through fifth grade. (Jan 2020 - May 2022). I've also worked with Tinkergarten and assisted with Girl Scouts.

One of my favorite things to do with students is to help them consider learning and writing from different perspectives.

A bit more about me:

I grew up in Flagstaff, Arizona, specifically on the campus of Northern Arizona University where my folks both worked. Growing up, the environment and cultural diversity found in the American Southwest, along with the unique experience of living on a college campus, have had a profound impact on my life and have inspired my journey as a lifelong student and now teacher.

I attended Washington University in St. Louis. There I studied Anthropology, swam for Varsity Swimming & Diving (my events included the 400 IM, 100 and 200 breaststroke), and was a member of Pi Beta Phi. I stayed at Washington University to attend law school and earn my J.D. While in law school I clerked at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Illinois in the White Collar Crime Division and also worked at the law clinic at the American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Missouri in St. Louis. I worked at a boutique law firm following graduation where my professional legal experience included immigration, employment discrimination, estate planning, licensing of biotechnology, and business incorporation. In addition to law, I worked at Mavrik Jewelry as a manager, buyer, and content writer for the boutique and online store.

I moved to Columbus, Ohio with my now-husband, where I worked as a community organizer for the AFL-CIO of Ohio and the Alliance for Retired Americans, and then began pursuing my graduate studies in Anthropology at The Ohio State University. I received my M.A. in Anthropology in 2009 and completed PhD coursework in Cultural Anthropology in 2010. My research interests are concerned with women's use of social support, transnationalism and migration, cultural change, ethnicity and identity, and law.
