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.

Matthew: Downey tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a 4th year medical student at Baylor College of Medicine. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BS in biology in 2015 and served as an Army officer for 5 years before starting medical school. I have always loved the natural sciences, and my favorite subjects of study are biology, ecology, and chemistry.

Every student is unique in the way they learn and the academic obstacles they encounter. As a tutor, my strengths lie in my ability to listen and understand a student's needs before helping them find a way to overcome their own unique challenges. I strive to help students not only master the material they are struggling with, but to help them develop their own learning processes and become better students overall.
