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.

Patrick

Certified Tutor

I am a former professor of Computer Science from Berea College. I received a Bachelor's of Science in Business and Economics, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science, from the University of Kentucky, and have had a wonderful time immersing myself in the world of learning. I try to approach every subject I encounter with a sense of wonder and openness so that I can appreciate the world around me to the greatest degree. I have a strong preference for experiential learning, and an approach that emphasizes asking questions and learning to come to your own conclusions given the information you have. I thrive on teaching myself new subjects, and I want nothing more than to help you do the same!

Hobbies

In addition to economics, programming, math, and computer science, I also spend a great deal of time reading about history, writing articles for outlets like Medium.com to share some of my learning experiences, and discovering new ways to play my guitar. I am also an avid outdoorsman, and greatly enjoy taking quiet days to myself to get lost on a hiking trail and enjoy the nature surrounding me.
