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

"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." - Maya Angelou

I believe we should all strive to live with this mindset! Over the years I have learned to trust myself and the journey that lies ahead of me, regardless of how I feel regarding the unknown. If you face challenges with these attitudes, it can drastically change your circumstances for the better. Whether this be academically, professionally, or personally, always move forward with your chin held high and a belief that you can conquer anything!

I have received my BA in English from the University at Buffalo and am currently completing a masters program at the same university in English Education - Adolescence. I truly enjoy literature, grammar jokes and reading and hope to share the same interests with those I tutor! (-:
