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.

I have experience with Computer Science from a student, professional, and teaching perspective. I understand what it feels like when you are completely stuck on a problem or concept, so when teaching I use scaffolding to break concepts down into manageable parts. I have experience teaching Computer Science to a classroom of 20 high school students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. This included daily lectures, mentoring, and one on one tutoring/debugging, among other responsibilities. I also gained experience tutoring college students during my time as an undergraduate. I emphasize understanding the concepts behind a problem, not just getting the assignment working, and use real world examples to allow the student to understand through their own perspective!

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

Get to know the student and their short and long term goals. Then, we can work together to create a game plan that fits their learning style!

How would you help a student stay motivated?

Reminding them of their goals and building up their confidence!

How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in?

I would emphasize that it's okay to make mistakes when learning a subject, and build up their confidence when they get a question correct or put a lot of time into a concept.

What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material?

I would ask the student to explain their understanding of the material and break down anything that they weren't confident talking about on their own.
