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


Finishing in the cum laude at Stephen F. Austin High School, I now attend the University of Houston. I'm currently in my second year there, working towards a computer science degree with a possibility of a minor in either business or education. Most of my tutoring experienced comes from being tutored myself, so I hope to improve on the ways that were brought onto me and extending other ways forward. I tutor computer science and mathematics as they are required for my degree, thus I must excel at them. My tutoring style is hands on with a emphasis on explaining things in a new way if an older way did not help. Outside of education, I enjoy playing video games and exercising.
