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.

Cody

Certified Tutor

I studied at the University of North Florida and Valencia College. I have always been passionate about other languages and cultures, and so I decided to participate in a study abroad experience in Germany through UNF. I started learning German about two years ago, continued to study the language through college, and eventually lived in Germany for almost a year altogether. I reached fluency within 3 months, to the point where I was able to understand and communicate in German quite effectively, and continued to build upon that in the months after. I have experience helping people through the language learning process. Outside of school, I enjoy going out with friends and playing my guitar. I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you through your language courses!
