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.

Gregory

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, where I obtained a Master of Public Health (MPH). Previously, I had been a verbal SAT, PSAT, SSAT, ISEE and GRE Senior Tutor working for Inspirica, Inc. in Manhattan. I loved the job. I tutored in the New York City area, as well as nationally and internationally.
I was promoted to Senior Tutor because my students had the highest overall score increases, as compared to the students taught by my fellow verbal tutors. As a Senior Tutor, I taught newly hired tutors the best strategies to help their students achieve the best possible score results. There's nothing better than to see a student achieve scores higher than they had initially imagined. I am also a very accomplished writer. I can help to brainstorm and edit a college application essay, a master's thesis, or a dissertation.
As a standardized test tutor, I have an interactive tutoring style. Once I teach the strategies I usually don't answer content questions, but instead, I ask a lot of questions to encourage my students to think for themselves. I always remind them that I will not be there on test day. That said, it's very important for me to be a supportive, fun, and engaging teacher. I look forward to tutoring sessions and try my best to make sure that my students do as well.
Since receiving my MPH, I have been writing a full-length musical The Moving Sky. I have been a professional, published songwriter for a long time and it gives me great joy. In addition, I enjoy swimming, playing trivia games, being outside, and watching foreign films. I'm also a member of Mensa.
