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 am a graduate from Lone Star College and later WGU, from which I received a Bachelor's in IT Management. While I originally thought my career would be in IT, I spent much of the following months doing work for Lone Star's disabilities office for students, and later tutoring work. Teaching is something I have a passion for but was encouraged away from initially, so it's been very exciting to be able to tutor on a larger scale like this. I believe teaching is about growing an understanding of subjects and sharpening one's intellect and critical thinking, not just memorization, and I also believe that everyone has a different learning style, and so teaching one-on-one needs to be specialized and flexible. While I can confidently tutor most subjects outside of math, I particularly enjoy English and writing subjects due to the amazing things one can do with words, and I also love History and Science subjects, purely for how fascinating they are. In my spare time I involve myself a lot with computers and coding, as well as plants and cooking, but when I need to calm down nothing beats reading a book with my cat.
