I am currently studying at Columbia University and am excited to help others reach their academic goals on Varsity Tutors.

My bachelor's degree in math comes from Fairmont State University.

I feel like my love and enthusiasm for Math makes me an excellent tutor.

...sometimes work against your innate curiosity. As a tutor, my goal is of course to help you maximize your success in school and standardized tests. But it's also (again, hopefully) to make room for curiosity, and to remind students, at least a little bit, about what can be fun about learning new things.... Every student can learn a concept - it's up to me to find the best way to communicate and teach it, so that...
