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 believe strongly in every student's ability to be successful. I am a first generation college graduate of Brigham Young University-Idaho with a B.A. in Applied Mathematics. December of 2020 I will be finishing a Ph.D. in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Southern Methodist University. I can relate with students who struggle or feel underprepared for a course because I've been there, but I also know you can succeed, because I did. I have been tutoring or teaching in some compacity since 2009 as an undergraduate tutor, high-school math teacher, and online instructor. I love working with students and helping them reach their goals!

Hobbies

I spend most of my free time with my family. I have a lovely wife and 4 adorable children. When I do have free time I like to run while listening to my favorite fantasy author (Brandon Sanderson) on Audible. I also enjoy playing strategy board games and video games of all types. I spend evenings watching sci-fi and fantasy television or movies, and have been known to enjoy a good drama or chick-flick on occasion.
