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.

Simon

Certified Tutor

I have a PhD in computational physics from the University Of Pennsylvania, as well as a degree in physics and computer science from the University Of British Columbia. I have years of experience as a teaching assistant and have been an instructor at a college level. I've taught hundreds of students to program effectively in a wide range of languages, as well many different physics courses. In the corporate world, I've found the experience of watching a mentee grow and thrive the most satisfying. While small classroom experiences are fun, I love working one on one with students - the moment when an idea "clicks" is just as fun for the teacher as it is for the student!

Hobbies

I am incredibly interested in technology, and love inventing new things. I can't get enough of learning about and applying new techniques in AI, and I usually am working on at least one software project for a new website or game development idea. When it isn't too cold outside, I like to go hiking and explore more of my local mountain range with my family.
