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 am a graduate of Virginia Tech University. I have a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Master of Arts in Education. While at Tech I worked a student-athlete tutor for a variety of math classes. After graduation I worked for 5 years teaching middle and high school mathematics in both Virginia and Ohio. My favorite subject to tutor are Algebra I and Algebra II. I feel like both classes make up the foundation of mathematics and over the years I have developed a variety of different teaching methods to help students who struggling with the different topics. I would describe myself as problem solver, I like to figure out not only how student is struggling but more importantly why are they struggling? Where do the keep making their mistakes and why. Outside of tutoring I have been a stay-at-home father for the past 7 years raising my two wonderful daughters. I enjoy sports, working out, and getting outside as much as possible.
