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

我是一个前的历史和文学教授at Earlham College, a small liberal arts school in the Midwest. I earned a dual PhD in Comparative Literature and Germanic Studies from IU Bloomington and a BA (summa cum laude) in English from NYU. Over the past twelve years I have lived, studied, and taught all over the world, including a year as an English instructor at the University of Paris Nanterre and a year as a postdoc research fellow at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. I consider teaching to be one of the great passions in my life and I have had the privilege to work with students from almost every conceivable background. Although I have taught large seminars and presented lectures to audiences in the US and abroad, I find that the most rewarding and enjoyable teaching experiences are those that are one-on-one. My expertise is in Philosophy, Literature, and European History, but my interests extend to languages (French, German, Hebrew, and Latin) and to the study of religion. Since I first caught what a former professor of mine called the "reading bug" back in college, I have come to discover a simple truth: literature can reinvent the world. So when I am not reading, or hiking with my dog, or helping my wife out at the barn, I spend my time writing, trying to create a book of my own.
