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.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I believe that patience and determination are keys to my teaching method. I like to encourage the students I work with to have precise goals, knowing that it takes time and exercise to learn and own a subject. I want the students to feel like I'm on their side, helping them find their own potential and strong points. Moreover, I wish to communicate to them a great passion for culture and education, which I believe beyond an academic achievement, can also be a lot of fun.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

Generally, before the first meeting I like to contact the student by e-mail and ask a few questions about them; what are his/her goals and desire for this tutoring sessions, what are her/his weak points with the subject, what are they currently teaching at his/her school at the moment, etc. I will put together a suited plan beforehand that I will discuss and implement with the student on the first meeting. In this way, we can take full advantage of our time together and have a more focused and precise learning journey.
