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

After teaching in the classroom for 35 years, I am newly retired, but not ready to give up working with children. Tutoring allows me to do one of my favorite parts of classroom teaching: work one-on-one with a child. It is in the one-on one situation I am able to assess, individualize lessons and adapt as the need arises while teaching. My favorite areas are reading and writing as well as test preparation. I also enjoy meeting the student where he or she is needing help in whatever school subject he or she may be struggling with. Helping students see what they were not understanding is very rewarding.
