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.

David

Certified Tutor

I grew up very poor, and through persistence and hard work overcame many handicaps to acquire first a bachelor's then a master's degree. I am a self-taught computer programmer, and my specialty is web and mobile development with JavaScript. After I learned programming, I wanted to teach and help others with disadvantages succeed just as I did. So I went back to school for a master's in education. I have taught programming to elementary, junior, and high school children as well as to college students and also adult professionals in the work force. I have no elite credentials to share; my students are my successes, and I am dedicated to them. They work at companies such as NASDAQ, Chase, GM, and HP. They all earn more than I do, and that pleases me greatly.

Hobbies

I am interested in intelligence, creativity, philosophy, science, and entrepreneurship. I am of the arcade game generation. I started with Asteroids and Galaga, moved on to Zelda, then Team Fortress, StarCraft, WoW, and now I play TFC 2, but usually just with bots. I like computers of all kinds, and I am equally proficient with MacOS, Windows, and Linux including Debian and Red Hat lineages. I enjoy writing mobile apps, and my coding expertise is in the JavaScript pipeline. I have been writing JavaScript for over 30 years! I read science fiction and fantasy, and I watch the same. I also sometimes write fantasy fiction.
