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

Hello! My name is Ruth Favela and I have recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. During my time as an undergraduate, I majored in English and minored in editing. I loved every minute of time at BYU and hope to spread the knowledge I obtained as well as the joy I have for learning. I am a native Spanish speaker and I love literature. In the past I have interned as an English and adult literacy teacher. I currently tutor any subjects related to English and Spanish. I strive to help my students understand basic concepts and help them progress through the more advanced ones. I love teaching and helping others and I hope that I can help tutor you and that you can help me grow as a teacher.
