What prompted you to seek tutoring?

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

I am a recent PhD graduate from the University of Pennsylvania in neuroscience and currently living in Louisville. I have an undergraduate degree in bioengineering, also from Penn. I have a particular passion for science and learning, and love to teach/mentor. I have taught/tutored students from high school through graduate school in various topics in math, biology, neuroscience, psychology, statistics, and MATLAB. I particularly enjoy tutoring biology and statistics because these are the two subjects I have the most experience with. I also particularly enjoying teaching the reasoning behind why statistics are so useful. I am available for online or in-person tutoring sessions. I will make you (or your child) a priority in my tutoring work and you will always receive 100% of my effort and available resources to help you achieve your goals. In my tutoring sessions, I focus heavily on deep understanding of the material: an understanding of the WHY behind the material, not simply a rote memorization of the key concepts. This approach is best suited for long-term retention and better test scores/grades. Outside of teaching, I'm a huge fan of podcasts (news, comedy, life stories, etc.), hip-hop music, and Philadelphia sports (Go EAGLES!).
