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.

Michael: Peoria tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm a retired USAF Major, Police Chief and Associate Professor. During my career I've lived and worked in Europe (Spain, England & Germany x 2) for ten years of my 20 in the USAF. I've taught management, law enforcement, and government (US & Tex) and martial arts for self-defense. I'm a native of Indiana and speak Spanish and conversational German. I'm an author and cancer survivor, as well as a lifelong martial artist (64 yrs). I've also traveled in some of the pacific countries (Korea, Okinawa & the Philippines) and served a month in Saudi Arabia. This broad base gives me a great deal of knowledge and understanding about other cultures and their customs.
