My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

If your student is at a crossroads in math, you can make sure that frustration and confusion don't win! Despite some recent improvement in math's public image due in part to Silicon Valley elites, math still has a bad reputation, and that bad reputation can make it all too easy to give up! But a math tutor can demonstrate the fun and interesting side of math, and provide a role model who could help your student's sight set on good grades. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors will find you a tutor in Berkeley, who is skilled at helping students who are preparing for success in math.
