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.

Richard

Certified Tutor

I am a recent PhD graduate that is passionate about science and helping others think creatively about how the world around them functions. My experiences have given me a unique perspective on how to approach biology while also teaching me how to effectively interact with people. Before my career in grad school I conducted 2 years of post-bacc research at Harvard Medical School, which was instrumental in understanding how tier 1 institutions conduct science and educate their students. While in my PhD program, I assisted in teaching several classes at Princeton; Intro to Biology and Cell & Developmental Biology. These classes covered a wide breadth of biological subjects, so I am well versed in how to introduce most concepts within this area. I was personally responsible for precepts (small sub groups) of up to 15 people throughout the year and it was in this setting that I guided students through auxiliary lessons and addressed topics that were too dense to be fully covered in the main lecture.
