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.

Paul

Certified Tutor

Hi! I have a passion for learning, teaching, and all things mathematics and physics related. When we're not learning about those subjects, I love to talk about skiing and running, and bouldering. I believe a successful student starts with a passion for learning. With passion comes motivation. Once you have that motivation, everything becomes easier to do.

I love skiing, running, bouldering, learning, trivia, space, technology, physics, teaching, and getting to know people.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I love learning- and I want others to have the desire to learn more. It takes more than homework help to create a successful student. Once a student loves what they are learning and wants to continue to learn more and more, they begin to beyond completing homework just to get a good grade- they spend time learning in their free time and exploring more in depth topics related to what they are learning in class.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

First, by providing the student with a desire to learn beyond the bare minimum, I am able to teach the student to become an independent learner. Next, I provide the resources to be an independent learner so that the student can continuously learn beyond the bare minimum.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

I love to spend some of the first session by getting to know the student personally. I ask questions about hobbies, passions, and similar extracurricular activities. After we know each other, I like to begin to discuss their favorite subjects in school. After that is covered, we begin with the subject at hand.
