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.

Abigail: Burlington tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a Ph.D. graduate student studying electrical engineering, specifically nanotechnology (super small materials) at the Univerisity of Illinois. I have been teaching students since high school in STEM classes and extra-curricular activities. Working with students one-on-one is one of my favorite ways to interact with students because I can adjust how to work through the subject in a manner that makes sense to the student individually. I want to encourage students how to think through problems at an intuitive fundamental level so when they face problems in the future they know how to step through the process by themselves. One of the wonderful things about math and science is that the logic that is used can be carried over to other areas of life. I hope to be able to give students ways to think in a critical and logical manner.
