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.

Colleen: East Bay tutor

Certified Tutor

Teaching is my passion and I love nothing more than helping my students unleash the knowledge they have within and achieve their educational goals. Although I tutor different subjects, I really excel in helping students understand math. I believe that is because when I was younger I really struggled with it so when I started teaching I made it a priority to teach differently. I always try to incorporate real-world examples into my lessons and make them engaging for the students which helps them want to actually work out the problems and get some answers. My ultimate goal as a tutor is to help you build the confidence in your own abilities with the subject.
When I'm not teaching, I'm usually scuba diving or volunteering with the local foster families. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and help you achieve your academic goals!
