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.

Sam: Santa Monica tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a sophomore at UC-Santa Barbara majoring in computer science and statistics. Growing up, I always loved math and science, and I've always wanted to share that love with other people around me. While in high school, I led a Python class at a computer camp and tutored many middle school and high school students in a wide range of subjects.

I believe people learn best when they are engaged, so I prefer a balanced mixture of probing questions combined with straightforward lecturing. Furthermore,
having watched thousands of hours of educational Youtube (e.g. TED-Ed, Schishow, 3Blue1Brown), I can often approach conventional topics in unconventional ways, illuminating hidden connections to strengthen knowledge retention.
