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 like teaching, which is why I like Varsity Tutors. As a retired public-school teacher and university professor I have many years of teaching a variety of students. I know how to motivate learners to do their best. During my public-school career I taught art, technology, reading and writing. Similarly, as a professor my efforts and doctorate focused on the learner in online environments much like Varsity Tutors. Recently, I returned from a year of teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) in Thailand to both adults and children; it was an incredible experience learning new teaching techniques and earning my TEFL. I continue to teach because I am passionate about helping others meet their learning goals." --
