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.

Samuel

Certified Tutor

I am a senior finishing up my undergraduate degree in Political Science at Oregon State University. I am originally from San Jose, California, though I have travelled around some before ending up in Corvallis, Oregon.

Much of my tutoring background has involved helping non-English speakers improve their English. I spent four months in Lyon, France, teaching English to French students and helping them with their math and writing homework in French.

I tutor a variety of subjects, including music theory, political science, and all forms of writing. As for standardized testing, I most enjoy helping students with the English and reading portions of the ACT and SAT, though I'm also happy to help with the math section of both tests, too.

I would describe myself as a very adaptable tutor; I tend to observe what teaching style works best for the student and go from there!
