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.

Donald: Richmond tutor

Certified Tutor

I first became familiar with the other side of the teacher/student relationship while tutoring a Japanese student taking an English as a Second Language class. While working with her I discovered the trust the student has with the teacher, and how carefully this trust must be preserved. I also learned to keep myself out of the student's work, in other words the student's work was entirely work of the student.

Hobbies

I like wildlife in all it's forms. I like birdwatching, especially during the migrations times when unusual birds come by for a visit, and I really like when the newly born and newly fledged birds go exploring and some really unusual birds can be seen in the areas where they aren't usually seen. I also like turtles, especially snapping turtles because all of the other critters treat them with such respect.
