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.

Steven

Certified Tutor

I'm a freshman at Columbia University hoping to study applied physics or applied math, and I have specific interests in applications to earth, oceanic, and atmospheric sciences. Since I started high school, I have tutored numerous friends and peers in almost any subject that they needed help with, and recently, I began tutoring various high school seniors for their college applications. While I can tutor most subjects found in a high school curriculum, I most enjoy working with students on their math skills, whether algebra, calculus, or statistics. I think math is a subject that many students seem to fear, but usually their fear is what holds them back. I feel a sense of fulfillment when I can show a student that math is not as bad as their brain might make it out to be. When I tutor, the most important thing for me is to make sure the student and I are on the same page. I want to relate to the student and make learning more fun. I truly believe that education is a gift, one that is important for us all to cherish. In my free time, I love hiking, running (even though I'm not the best at it), and digging into Wikipedia rabbit holes.
