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.

Edgar

Certified Tutor

I received my PhD in Ecology, Evolution and Systematics from the University of Missouri in St. Louis. I was born in Bogota, Colombia where I obtained my bachelor's degree in Biology. I have ample experience teaching particularly biology, statistics, ecology, chemistry, and biochemistry. During my doctorate studies I mentored many undergraduate students majoring in biology with intention of pursuing their premed education. Since graduation, I have taught at Washington University and at Harris Stowe University biology related courses. I have also taught Spanish in Colombia, and have helped many friends with their Spanish courses at Washington University. I believe that a good way to dominate any material is to understand its basic principles in a way that is fun and interesting while studying it. In my spare time, I enjoy playing soccer and running as well as any outdoor activity.
