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

I am a recent mechanical engineering graduate from Washington State University. I grew up in Juneau, Alaska but for now I'm enjoying the city life and culture that Seattle has to offer. I am happy to be able to tutor math and science subjects.

I have substitute taught middle school and high school classes in Juneau and found it to be rewarding work, especially when you are able to see a student truly understand a new concept. Math, in particular, takes patience and practice, which is what I plan to impart and work on with students.

Being from Alaska, I really enjoy the outdoors, especially hiking, camping, and kayaking. My friends and family, although spread out, are very important to me. I make a great effort to stay in touch with them as often as possible. At the moment I'm taking a break after a year or two of working in engineering to enjoy the Pacific Northwest and pursue a few personal interests. I love to travel, and I'm hoping to find a cool engineering job that allows me to do so while improving people's quality of life.

I look forward to working with you and your child!
