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

I am currently getting my PhD in chemistry at the University of Virginia! During my graduate program, I have tutored high school and college students in high school chemistry, general chemistry, and organic chemistry. I also worked as a teaching assistant for the organic chemistry lab for a year.
I earned my undergraduate degree from Ball State University in chemistry. There, I was a tutor at the BSU Learning Center, where I tutored chemistry. I was also a teaching assistant for organic chemistry I and II lectures.

I love chemistry and want to be able to share it with you, however, I do understand that it is a difficult subject to learn. In high school, I took AP chemistry, but I struggled in the class, like some of you may be struggling as well. I failed the AP exam and didn't do great in the class. That experience wasn't the best, but I do believe it made me a better chemist in the long run and made me more equipped to better teach you.
