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.

McKinley

Certified Tutor

I am a Senior MDiv graduate student at Princeton Theological Seminary. I live in Philadelphia, but hail from Lubbock, TX by way of Gruver, TX. I graduated in 2010 from The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA with a degree in History and Religious Studies. Following matriculation from America???s second oldest, but most beloved university, I served as a teacher at a small inner-city school in New Haven, CT. While there, I taught Language Arts and Social Studies units, tutored all subjects, and specialized in a class called ???Peace and Justice.??? I paid special attention to pursuing a vocation that would allow me to continue the lifestyle I have worked to lead since I was in middle-school: loving learning and loving other people. I am continuing my work with high-promise youth in the city of Trenton through the PEI Probation and Intervention program, seeking to introduce a solid tutor into the lives of the young men and women who are seeking a second chance from the system. In my spare time, I play a lot of sports and strum the guitar while listening to country music. I look forward to working with you!
