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

My name is Max Sullivan. I have a passion for mathematics, and teaching. I have 8 years of experience as a math tutor, across 4 institutions, in all levels of undergraduate mathematics. I have a masters degree in mathematics and statistics, and have taught math to a wide variety of students for the last 4 years. My strengths as a teacher and tutor are my knowledge of the subject matter, my passion for math, my communication skills, and above all, my patience and empathy. I firmly believe that everyone can be good at math, and that math ability is not a thing you are 'born with' but something you can develop with the right mindset and dedication.
