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.

Alex: Burnsville tutor

Certified Tutor

With a B.S. in Civil Engineering and three decades turning bridge plans and network diagrams into "aha!" moments, I help learners connect theory to the real world. I tutor Math, Engineering Mechanics, Physics, Spanish, and German, drawing on field experience and language immersion to make each topic practical and engagingwhether we're demystifying calculus, mastering statics, or polishing conversational skills.

Every session focuses on clarity, curiosity, and confidence: we set a concrete goal, tackle it through bitesized models tied to everyday examples, and finish with quick feedback that maps the next step. Students leave understanding the why as well as the how, ready to apply their new skills long after the lesson ends.
