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.

Certified Tutor

I received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Arizona with a major in Mathematics and a minor in Computer Science. I moved to the Denver area in 1980. I enjoy astronomy, photography, birding, geocaching (ask me!), reading, and exercise (especially racquetball). I generally like the outdoors, except in the summer, when it is too hot and I like to dabble in computers as well. I did some tutoring in college, and then worked with a wide range of private clients as well as with another private tutoring company. I currently tutor Mathematics up to Algebra 1. I love working one-on-one with students of all ages.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

Pencil to paper. Wrong answers help the student learn. I might backtrack to the basics, and write rules on a new sheet of paper.

What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material?

After the student does the given problem, have the student do more problems. Verbally quiz the student.
