Jon: Westminster Literature tutor
Certified Literature Tutor in Westminster, CO
My educational path has followed paths of privilege -- private prep school, the Ivies for undergraduate and graduate degrees -- but my outlook on education is not conservative. I see success in terms of curiosity that grows throughout a lifetime, and reaches into new domains. Confident, creative thinkers are always in short supply, so it feels good to collaborate with Varsity Tutors to encourage more of them.
