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.

James

Certified Tutor

I am currently a junior attending the university of Illinois. I'm studying Chemical engineering and expect to receive a B.S. in 2017. I am happy to tutor most high school math and science courses as well as entry level college math and science. In addition, I would be happy to mentor students for SAT preparation for both the general test and several subject SATs. I like highlighting how information covered in your classes is applied in industry and other fields of research. In my spare time, I'm involved with a Band on campus and we play at bars semi often throughout the semester.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I want to make you feel comfortable enough to ask the type of questions that you wish the teacher would answer.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

Try to get a bearing on where the student is from an educational perspective and try to find out how best to teach.
