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 have recently graduated from undergraduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and a Minor in Psychology. I spent my last year doing undergraduate research in a cancer research laboratory and have a few publications in the works and one accepted for publication in May. I have spent the last four years becoming an expert in Biology and plan to further my education. I have tutored several students in my classes for exams and some high school students to prepare them for upcoming tests as well.
I would love the opportunity to work with you to reach your goals. I have experience taking those difficult classes and helped others who each learn differently to reach their goals.

What is your teaching philosophy?

作为一名教师,我主要是帮助people learn. A large part of teaching, in my opinion, is communication. Teaching is just communication and if you can't communicate, you can't teach. Therefore, I do my best to find the way we communicate best.

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

I would like to establish our goals for what we want to accomplish and then figure out where our focus needs to be.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

I think setting short term goals, then slowly making them long term, can help you stay motivated. Checkpoints and a variety of activities also help so that when you're ready for those long term goals, you stay motivated.
