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.

John: Batavia tutor

Certified Tutor

Over the course of my journey through life I've learned many lessons. Some I've sought out, some I've learned the hard way, and some I didn't even know I was learning at the time. In every one of those instances I wouldn't have learned a thing if I wasn't open to examining all possibilities - even those that didn't agree with my preconceived notions.

Listening, being respectful of others, and treating others as I wish to be treated myself are the tools that have served me the best during my life. I learned these lessons just as you would an academic subject - through trial and error, research, and internal realization.

Don't think of learning as work - think of it as discovering what you enjoy and what you don't enjoy so much. Finding joy in life is more of a discovery than a known path. Learning is an important tool in helping you find your way to discovering what you enjoy.

Embrace learning and discover the direction you want to achieve in your life.
