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've been interested in teaching and tutoring since I was a teaching assistant in graduate school. While in grad school, I taught courses in statistics, political science, and history.

My degree was in political science with a focus on statistical analysis, and I am now training to be a data scientist.

For me it's a really fun challenge learning how a student sees a concept and how I can guide them to expand their understanding of it. Seeing a concept "click" with a student is one of the most rewarding feelings.
