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.

Marissa: Hollywood tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of The University of Pennsylvania. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a focus on Communication and Commerce. I tutor a broad range of subjects including English (Grammar, Critical Reading, and Writing) and Math. My favorite subject to tutor is Math because once students fully understand the fundamental ideas of a mathematical area, they can unlock their ability to tackle much more complex problems. I have experience tutoring children of all ages during my years babysitting throughout high school. My tutoring technique is a highly interactive approach, tailored to each student's specific needs and most effective learning style. I am passionate about education and appreciate the opportunity to impart that love of learning to others. My belief is that the critical thinking skills that students develop at a young age can help them to be successful in their subsequent academic studies, personal lives, and future careers. Outside of academia, I enjoy watching independent films, running, and reading.
