Who needs tutoring?
What prompted you to seek tutoring?

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.

Palma

Certified Tutor

I am a retired math instructor who loves working with students who struggle with Math, particularly Algebra. Even though I majored in Mathematics, I have been in Math classes that are frustrating and confusing! I found out early that finding the right kind of help can make such a difference. I want to be your right kind of help!

After graduating from college I worked in Corporate America ( General Electric, Lucent Technologies) in various positions until a friend who was a Math Professor suggested I pursue being an adjunct instructor at a local community college. From my first experience in the classroom I was hooked! Nothing is more rewarding than helping a student with an "I am not good at Math" attitude achieve success and confidence in his/her abilities.

Since then, I have taught a variety of Algebra classes (pre-Algebra through College Algebra) for over 15 years, most recently at Scottsdale Community College.
