"Hello! My name is Noor and I am very excited about working with Varsity Tutors. I lived in Brazil for six months where I taught English to elementary school kids, and after that experience, I realized that teaching and tutoring give you some of the best feelings you could ever have. Watching someone learn, understand, and grow and knowing that you've helped in that process is incredibly fulfilling.
My teaching style is very easy to work with."

" I am a confident and compassionate teacher with a deep love of learning. I am grateful for my educational opportunities; I know I would not be where I am today if it were not for the dedication of certain teachers in my life.
