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 been sharing my love of chess with students young and old for almost 10 tears. For three years I taught after school, summer programs, and the Friday night intensive with the Berkeley Chess School. For the past five years I have been running the chess club at an excellent charter school in Chicago, where I teach full-time.

The amazing successes of remote learning this past year and the extraordinary online tools available have inspired me to teach more chess again.

I am rated over 2000 (daily) on chess.com
