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.

Certified Tutor

Hi!!

I am currently finishing up my Master's in Chemistry, will be done in May 2016. I have an interest in Medicine and also work as an Emergency Department scribe. I love working with people and learning new things. I think Chemistry gets a bad rep. It truly is not so bad once you get into it, and it eventually becomes fun.
