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.

Shawn

Certified Tutor

I like to think of myself as an easy-going simple guy. I grew up in any one of a dozen small towns surrounding an army base in Northern New York. Two of my three degrees come the State University of New York, and my third comes from Northern Virginia Community College.

This is my first time professionally tutoring students, but I am confident in my abilities as a professional writer, editor, and proofreader.

I see myself as an artist. Music is actually my first love, but I also love writing, and I want to share my passion with others. As a tutor, I make it my mission to share my love for this art and to teach others that writing is fun and shouldn't be a chore.

I have a very simple, laid-back approach to teaching. I use plain English to answer a question or explain something, and I like to use a more visual approach to paint a picture of the example.
