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.

James: Plymouth tutor

Certified Tutor

My name is James Haggis, and I am a recent graduate from NYU, where I studied Screenwriting and Creative Writing. Throughout my time at college, I maintained a high 3.8 GPA, and was placed on NYU's Dean's List. When I took the SATs in 2015, I got an overall score of 2120, and was in the 91st national percentile for writing, and in the 99th national percentile for critical reading, with a score of 770 out of 800.

While at NYU I not only wrote numerous papers myself, but also helped many of my friends and peers with outlining, editing, and or revising theirs.

Since graduating, I have written, script supervised, and helped shoot my own short film, as well as worked as a writers assistant to an academy award winning screenwriter.

I primarily tutor high school and middle school students in writing, literature, history, and English, but can also tutor in middle school math and science. I am currently only meeting with students online.
