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.

Alexander: White Plains tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm a member of the Faculty of the University of South Carolina, where I teach courses in Social Advocacy and Ethical Life (i.e. an interdisciplinary program combining elements of rhetoric, ethics, and political theory) and where I used to teach courses in English Composition and Literature. I enjoy helping students realize their potentials by improving their critical thinking and communication skills.

In my spare time (I don't have much as I have seven year-old twin boys), I like to read, listen to music, watch movies, and play rugby.
