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.

Matthew: Suffolk County tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a high school biology teacher and natural storyteller with a talent for engaging any student at any level. My role as an educator is to inspire critical thinking and scientific literacy, and I do so by imparting factual knowledge in the context of real world situations. I am most passionate about biology and environmental science, but I am interested in almost all subjects. I've travelled the world and lived all over the US, so I can speak to a wide range of natural wonders that I've seen first-hand. I obtained a PhD in Entomology at the University of Florida and received my BS in Biology from the University of Oregon. I have published in internationally recognized peer-reviewed jourjournals, and continue to write.
