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.

Brian: Bradford tutor

Certified Tutor

For the past 5 years, I have been helping young adults get into the college of their dreams. As an instructor at several community colleges, I have the opportunity to work with many diverse and fascinating students. I have learned that my students' education, experience, obligations, family, culture, expectations, motivation, and personal learning styles drastically affect how successful we are in accomplishing our goals.

As a result, I customize my lessons to take these factors into account for every student I teach.

As a lifelong learner myself, I am grateful for the many teachers and tutors who helped me earn a Master's degree in English Literature from San Francisco State University and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from UC San Diego.

Now, I work with students at every level: elementary school, secondary school, college, and continuing education. As long as you are motivated to learn and improve yourself, we will be successful. If you do not feel motivated, I have some strategies to help you as well!

What can you expect from our sessions?
* Improve your reading speed by 300 words per minute
* Hone your ability to remember and explain what you read
* Learn critical thinking strategies for analytical reading

And...
* Eliminate sentence-level errors by improving your mechanics
* Write amazing paragraphs even when you have nothing to say!
* Produce essays that rank in the top 5 percent of your class

And...
* Improve your test scores

* Know how to write for your audience

I am passionate about learning and helping my students grow as independent learners! Let's work together to achieve your dreams!
