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 love my job as a high school Assistant Principal, but it doesn't allow me the opportunity to teach students in academic areas. I really miss being in the classroom! Having the ability to work with students to help them grow and learn in subject areas I am passionate about, such as history, literature, writing, reading, and research, is close to my heart. I truly believe the humanities are an excellent vehicle to help all people understand themselves and the world better. I completed a doctorate degree in September 2022 in Educational Leadership with an emphasis on global and international education. The supportive and collaborative relationships I developed with professors and other students inspired me to want to teach in an online learning platform.
