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.

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

In my first session with a student, I place equal importance on going over the class material and assessing the core issues that the student is having.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

It's important to understand that as a student, the most pivotal thing you can do is put in long hours trying to solve problems on your own. Realizing the process to solve a problem is much more powerful than being told the process. These realizations will predominantly only come from epiphanies when working on your own.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

If one method of teaching doesn't work, there is always another. From pictures to metaphors, demonstrations to real world examples and explanations, I would do my best to use whatever technique is required of me to get my student to understand a concept or skill.
