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

Education is the key to discovery, and teachers should act as a guides towards their student's self-discovery. Tutoring is an amazing way to connect with students and relate their educational experiences to the real world. I see test preparation as a key that can open doors and I love to work with students of all ages to help them gain more opportunities and motivate them to read, write, and think!

I am a 9th grade history teacher and have been in education for six years. I have taught or tutored students in history, English, ESL, writing, and other humanities subjects. I love to work with students of all ages, from kindergarten through high school.

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

Getting a student engaged in the subjects they're learning is key. I always try to find a way to relate the topic back to the student and draw connections between the student's interests and the learning material. When the curriculum is relevant to a student, they can better understand why they're studying it and will be more motivated to learn.
