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.

Certified Tutor

I have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Physics from the University of Maine. I am a FT employee at Pearson and make the physics and astronomy questions that go on the end of year state tests. I have developed physics content for Texas (STARR), Tennessee (TCAP), Colorado (CMAS), and California (CAASSP) to name a few. I have also developed for the HiSET, and AP physics exams. Since I work FT I only tutor in the evenings after work Mon-Fri. I need a break on the weekend lol.

About my tutoring style: I am big on explaining an idea multiple times in different ways until the concept sticks with the student. Repetition is often very helpful to students. I am a very patient tutor and make sure the student fully understands the topic before moving on. I don't want ANY student to feel like they are lost or don't get it. I will meet you where you are at and pull you forward!

After we work through a problem in its entirety I will then summarize the ideas that we learned and used while working on that problem. I have had fantastic success with hundreds of students and plan to continue to do so. Check out my reviews for proof!
