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 have two degrees in creative writing -- a BA from the University of California, Riverside, and an MFA from Eastern Washington University. During my time in graduate school, I worked one-on-one and in classroom settings with students at the undergraduate and high school levels to help them become better writers. My fiction and articles have been published in literary magazines and trade publications alike. Language is my passion, from fiction to academic essays, and I believe that everyone can find the same passion, whether it's in grammar, poetry, or the stories we have to tell.
