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 am a 2013 graduate of Tennessee State University where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering. I began my college career at Valparaiso University where I played football for a year prior to transferring to Tennessee State. . During my time at TSU, I served as a mentor and tutor to freshman who majored in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). In addition, I spent time at the STEM Prep Academy where I tutored grade school children. While at TSU I joined the Army National Guard, where I have been serving for the last 5 years. As an active participant on campus, I served as president of the American Society of Civil Engineers and assistant secretary of my fraternity on campus. I have a passion to see young individuals succeed in the classroom, and like to assist with that process when I am able to.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I believe a student is more open to learning with someone they enjoy being around. I like to get to know the student as best as I can, cater to their interests, and teach around those. This way, the student actually enjoys coming to tutoring sessions.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

The first session will be a feeling-out session. I'd try to get to know the student and gain a grasp of where they are currently in class. This will help me to gauge what kind of plan we will need going forward.
