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.

Patrick

Certified Tutor

I am currently a junior at Tufts University, and am originally from Stamford, Connecticut. I major in International Relations with a concentration in international security issues. A lover of history and politics, I enjoy teaching students in these topics particularly, but also have a deep passion for writing and public speaking. I am also available for SAT and ACT test preparation. I find it extremely enriching to help students see the potential in themselves when it comes to a standardized test or a speech mainly because I remember being in the same positions not too long ago.

When I am not working or reading about the news, you can usually find me being active. I am a soccer fanatic as well as an avid hiker. And when I have no more energy I can be found parked on a couch enjoying a movie marathon.

Thank you, and I can't wait to get started!

What is your teaching philosophy?

I firmly believe in teaching a student how to think critically. A student should not just be answering questions but understanding the how and why of a question.
