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.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

First, I would need to figure out the area that is causing the student to struggle. Once that is done, I would teach the student the strategies needed to be successful in those areas.

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

I would introduce myself and tell the student a little about me. Then, I would ask the student to do the same. I would ask the student about what they expect to get out of our tutoring sessions.
