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

Hi! My name is Ryan and I love both learning and teaching! Helping other people to gain knowledge and understand the world is something I've always loved. I know how much of a difference good teachers and mentors have made in my own life, and I hope to be able to pay that forward.

I have a bachelors in Electrical Engineering and an MBA, and have worked as an Engineer or other technical role for more than a decade. Before that, I was a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy, trained to drive the submarine and operate its nuclear reactor. I've even taught at the university level at Texas A&M University and helped train and lead its Corps of Cadets. I hope to be able to use some of my knowledge to help you!

Hobbies

I am a life-long learner! I read a lot, and listen to audiobooks in the car. History is so fascinating! Other hobbies include playing and listening to music, especially classical, lifting weights, running (slowly), and writing a little. Also traveling! I've been to 4 continents and hope to get to at least 6, and who knows, maybe into orbit one day.
