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

At the age of 79 and being retired, I personally want to just help as many people that I can, especially young people who have their whole lives ahead of them. I have taught seventeen years full time, grades three through nine, ending with the chairmanship of language arts in a middle school. I have scored essays for the state of California under CAHSEE guidelines. These essays were helpful for the students to receive a high school graduation. I have also taught General Equivalency Courses at the high school level and in the prison system. I also studied to get my insurance licenses so that I could help high school students get money for higher education. I also substituted wherever and whenever needed, teaching whatever subject needed for many years. Therefore, you see I have a very diverse educational background However, I do have time to play the piano, a form of relaxation for me, as well as reading to enrich my life.
