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.

Emily

Certified Tutor

I am a current sophomore at Stanford University and am working towards a degree in Mathematical and Computational Science. I am also a Lead Math Tutor at Stanford's Center for Teaching and Learning, where I tutor Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Single and Multi-variable Calculus. When I was in high school, I also tutored Elementary, Middle, and High School students at a local library in various subjects with an emphasis on Math and English.
Not surprisingly, my favorite subject to tutor is math. To many people, math is just a jumble of numbers and an exercise of memorization. I was fortunate enough to be able to view math as a puzzle a series of steps that solves a mystery. As I have continued my studies in math, I have come to believe it is essential as it helps to develop problem solving skills as well as fundamental principles of logic. These skills have helped me through various subjects like statistics and general chemistry.
I like to tutor through concrete examples, and my ultimate goal is to help students solve challenging problems on their own.
In my spare time, I like to knit and play tennis. I am currently trying to learn how to play the ukulele.
