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 know that every student can learn math, science, and engineering; because I have seen it in my tutoring of a diverse population of students over 20-years; and raising two children who have become successful engineers after graduating from top universities.

I have the experience, patience, discipline, and passion to get every student to achieve their personal and specific targeted goals in math and science! I know how to make math and science work for every student, whether the student wants to become an artist, physicist, or zoologist - and everything in between. The secret lies in knowing what to "master, retain and hurdle".

I am a licensed professional chemical engineer working for a top bio-pharmaceutical company for 35-years. I love my profession and have a passion to mentor students thinking about a potential career in engineering or science; that's why I have been tutoring for decades with my personal business. I have advanced degrees in mathematics and sciences from Harvard University and Manhattan College.

I am convinced that learning in school and working in industry via a remote online platform will be with us forever going forward, because of the many advantages it provides. I have 10-years of experience with a remote online platform for tutoring. "I personally like it because more things can be completed in less amount of time." My students will see first hand for themselves how much faster homework can be completed because of my online tutoring style. The added bonus is that online tutoring can always be complemented with in-person sessions, so as to get the best of both styles.
