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

Hello! My name is Rich. As a teacher and military officer, I have experience working with a wide variety of age groups, skill levels, and motivation levels. I pride myself on finding the right approach that best suits a particular student.

After completing a bachelor of arts in political science at Yale University, I served 8 years as a combat arms officer in the US Army. I coached, trained and mentored soldiers and junior officers in a wide variety of tasks. After leaving the military, I completed graduate coursework for a master's degree in international affairs at Tufts University. Finally, I recently finished all academic requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from University of Maryland.

I am a current substitute teacher in the DC public school system, with experience at the elementary, middle school and high school level. In addition to general education and small group intervention, I have performed multiple, long-term special education assignments working one on one with students.

Having returned to school to receive a second bachelor's, I am also aware of the challenges and constraints faced by adult learners. I look forward to working with any student who seeks to improve.
