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 was told once, "there are two kinds of people, those who make a difference and those who make excuses." Although simplistic, there's some truth to this. I love being a teacher because being around students, hungry for learning and making a difference, is so invigorating. Teaching emergency medicine and aviation classes to teenagers in Alaska, I watched students becoming Paramedics, Nurses, P.A.s and Commercial Pilots. Being part of that personal evolution was a great feeling! My education is in science with a B.S. in Biology from Northern Kentucky University and an M.S. in Zoology at Idaho State University. I also received a K-12 teaching endorsement from the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. I've worked as a backcountry ranger for the National Park Service, a Biologist for the U.S. Forest Service, and with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. As the science teacher in rural Alaska, I taught middle and high school science classes. I believe education should be interesting, engaging and fun. I love teaching about life on this incredible planet. Birds, of course, are my favorite group of critters.
