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.

Michael: Gardena tutor

Certified Tutor

I've always enjoyed nature and learning about living things. I graduated with a B.S. in Biology from Univ. of Alabama in Huntsville, and my M.S. in Biology (human genetics) from Boise State University. I completed five years of education in Microbial Ecology from Baylor University. I have worked in a variety of fields since my first college degree, and I have published and taught in subjects ranging from Microbiology, Introductory Biology, and Genetics. In terms of teaching and tutoring, I believe I am strongest in Microbiology and General Biology, with Genetics coming in a close third. My broad interests and background make me an effective teacher to students of various ages and backgrounds, and my passion for Biology shows through when I teach or talk about the subject. I enjoy helping students to reach that "aha!" moment when things click. I am good at identifying where missing information or misunderstandings are hindering learning, and I encourage students to have fun while engaging their subject matter.
