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.

Certified Tutor

I really enjoy tutoring, and have done it in the past both as a job at Kumon Math and Reading Center, where I worked for a year before I left for college, and as a volunteer tutor in my high school (I also have recently taken up a position volunteer tutoring underprivileged middle schoolers for a local non-profit). I am open to helping any student of any age with nearly any subject (math, reading, writing, biology, chemistry, economics, civics, Spanish etc). I'm also happy to help with test prep (hello SAT and ACT takers), as well as college application assistance. I'm a strong believer in a patient, non-judgmental, non-intimidating approach to tutoring, and I really try to prioritize the comfort of my students. As someone who has used tutoring myself in some of my harder classes in college, I understand that not everything comes easily to everyone, so I want all of my students to feel comfortable asking any and all questions they might have, or going over a topic as many times as needed to understand it. I'm all about friendly, humble service!

A little more about me beyond tutoring: I'm a Charlotte native; however, I'm currently enrolled as an undergrad at Harvard University. There, I'm pursuing a B.A. in Economics, while also completing premedical requirements. After college, I hope to either go to grad school for chemistry, biology, or economics, or to take a gap year and then go to medical school.

Other interests of mine include health and fitness, dancing, music, and Twitter.
