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.

Timothy

Certified Tutor

Hi, my name is Tim, and I teach languages. Why study with me? 3 reasons: I have experience and qualifications, I tailor my lessons to what you need, and I understand the point of view of the student.

I have a master's degree in teaching ESL and French, and I have taught for over 30 years. I've taught everyone from kindergartners to senior citizens, I've taught in schools, in companies and hospitals and one-on-one. I've taught English, Japanese, French and Spanish. I lived in Japan for 25 years, but for the last few years I taught Spanish and Japanese in an American middle school. Now I teach at a community college.

My experience allows me to tailor my lessons to your needs. I listen to your goals, I observe your language needs and learning styles, and I design practice to help you where you need help.

I love learning languages, and I've traveled around the world studying a dozen languages. So I can see things from the point of view of the learner. I can sympathize with both your excitement and your frustration.
