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

Certified Tutor

I graduated from St. Louis University in 2011 with a BA in English Literature. I have always had a passion for everything involving the English language, and I spend a good amount of free time reading books and writing fiction.
My love for the English language took me to Korea, where I taught everything from Phonics to Grammar to Essay Construction. My classes were fairly small, which helped me develop my one-on-one teaching skills. Also, I learned to overcome many obstacles that occur in the teaching-learning relationship.
I think it is imperative that a student feels comfortable with his or her tutor. While I expect hard work and determination from my students, I am still an easy-going individual who is not judgmental at all. I am fun and laid back, but knowledgeable and committed to education.
I can tutor anything related to English, though I certainly specialize in Writing. I am also qualified and available to teach ACT prep. I have an understanding of standardized tests and can help students formulate effective strategies to maximize their scores.
As I mentioned earlier, reading and writing fiction have to be near the top of my hobbies list. Also, I would add listening to live music, playing and watching soccer, and collecting records to that list.
At the end of the day, I am a guy who enjoys life and learning. I believe I am a good tutor, because more often than not those two qualities are contagious.
