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.

Kenneth

Certified Tutor

I have a Bachelor's in Chemistry and a Master's and Ph.D. in Philosophy. I was an award-winning high school teacher for 29 years in Eastern Oregon before recently retiring. I also taught philosophy at the University level throughout that time.
I can tutor in any areas of the physical sciences -- especially chemistry, physical science, and physics, which are the courses I taught.
My tutoring philosophy is simple: I want to help you be successful. That doesn't just mean getting through the problems of today, but learning the skills to be successful on exams later and building skills to help you be successful in life.
My passion is to develop new activities, analogies, jokes, and songs to help students learn in a fun, memorable way. I also play chess in my spare time.
