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.

Philip

Certified Tutor

I'm a graduate of Columbia College Chicago; after exploring many fields of interest (writing, linguistics, computer science, and more), I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fashion Design graduating Cum Laude.

As a tutor, I work to completely engage with a student's learning process and try to see the subject through their eyes. I stress conceptual understanding over formula memorization, but I'm also realistic about the demands of standardized testing and teach testing strategy as well as material. I'm passionate about good writing, and I love to work on students' reading and writing skills.

When I'm not tutoring, I love to run in Prospect Park, listen to all kinds of interesting music, and devour books. I'm always trying to learn something new: right now, I'm writing my first long-form narrative and teaching myself to use the Linux terminal.
