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.

Derek: Hendersonville tutor

Certified Tutor

I am an undergraduate student studying at Pomona College in Southern California! I am on track on receiving my B.A. in Physics and minoring in Economics and Chinese. I have received a national college match scholarship from QuestBridge with a full ride to Pomona. Since junior year of high school, I was a tutor for fellow students and I became a Kumon Instructor for math and reading, teaching between the age groups of four to sixteen. I am passionate about physics, because I believe that it provides the world necessary problem solving skills and the sphere of physics is so large. I love travelling abroad, studying Chinese, and being a designer for Pomona College Chinese theatre.
