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

Hello! I just graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.S. in Astronomy. I have been a teaching assistant at my university for the past 2 years, and I enjoy teaching and meeting new people. I also have experience tutoring one-on-one. I am very patient and encouraging. I think it is possible to make physics, math, and astronomy engaging to you even if you find it hard or tedious. I can't wait to meet you!
