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.

Certified Tutor

我收到了我的本科教育在圣奥拉夫College in Northfield Minnesota. I graduated with a degree in biology, and I will be attending medical school in the fall. I have a varied tutoring history, helping students from the 3rd grade all the way to collegiate level courses. I have tutored Math/ELA for elementary school students, and have tutored Introductory Chemistry (Semesters 1 + 2), Organic Chemistry (Semesters 1 + 2), Introductory Physics (Kinematics + Electromagnetism), and Biochemistry. My favorite subject to tutor is biochemistry - it is the subject I most enjoyed in school and what spurred me to pursue a career in medicine.

My teaching philosophy can be summed up with two quotes: "work smarter not harder" and "practice makes perfect." I believe that practice is important, but efficient learning is critical for practice to pay off.

Outside of academia, I love the outdoors, playing the cello and piano, and drawing/painting.
