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

My reason to become a teacher is to prepare the youth who one day will be the ones running our country in many ways. Providing them with the necessary tools to get there is urgent. It is one of the most pressing needs in terms of USA policies. It is the overall collective work of all teachers to "each one teach one" for eternal effects.

I decided long along to give back in the field of education and to this day I have, in the classroom and out. I want to continue with my momentum of providing a quality education to the many students who I will meet.

I personally have viewed many students in several geographic, economic and funding areas. As a teacher, no matter the factors it is me who can provide the needs of a student in a classroom setting with lessons to aid them for the future. I had a number of good teachers and many impacted my decision to teach. My motivation is the remainder.

As a teacher I want to make a difference in a child's life so they can say "I can and I will." On occasions I would prepare a lesson of someone who made a difference in a child's life even when the odds were against them. The students responded with so much positivity.

I taught a class once and was able to teach other than the common subjects because, this was my way of providing another area of life they will surely need. There will come a time in their lives when they will remember what I taught them to help with life decisions in some way.
