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.

James: Vernon Hills tutor

Certified Tutor

I graduated from Linfield University with a BS in Biochemistry and molecular biology. Small inside the cell stuff. I am currently working on my Masters Degree in Genetics Genomics and Bioinformatics at Buffalo University. I can tutor most biology or chemistry courses, from basic introductory courses, all the way into college 400s level courses. I've been a tutor throughout my undergrad and have been working for Varsity Tutors for about 3 years. My philosophy is that simply telling or lecturing the information isn't the best way to learn it, instead talking together and asking questions back and forth will best learn the information. In my free time I love to play all manner of video games, both alone and with friends. My favorites are 4x games and paradox games but I have enjoyed playing many different genres
