What prompted you to seek tutoring?

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.

Varsity Tutors really helped me understand the concepts during my Calculus 2 class. My tutor has such amazing patience and is open to many questions! Lastly, was always on time and very prompt. Highly suggest Varsity Tutors.

Sonja

Certified Tutor

My name is Sonja Holcombe and I am a 31 year veteran high school teacher, having taught Special Education, Social Studies and English/ Language Arts in the public school setting. I am a life-long learner myself and have a passion for teaching and learning. Since my retirement in 2017, I have worked as a private tutor to several students in the area where I live. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than watching a student's face light up when they finally understand a concept with which they've struggled!
In my spare time, I love to read, scrapbook, make beaded jewelry, and take care of my pets. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
