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

Hola! My name is Catalina Alicea, but my students call me Ms.A :)
I am a single mom of 3 beautiful girls. I have been in education for 9 years about to be 10 pretty soon. I am a certified Spanish Teacher from Early Childhood to 12 grade. I have a Masters' in Education and Bachelor's in Foreign Languages, specializing in Spanish. I also have a minor in communication studies and undergrad Biology.

I am a teacher at heart, I love what I do and I find myself teaching even when I am not in the classroom. I could say it runs in my veins. My passion for teaching actually sprouted while I was an undergrad biology student when I was asked to be a Teacher Aide for the Lab. I discovered the satisfaction it brings to see someone learn and understand something when you explain it. Long story short, here I am almost 10 years later, and proud of my profession, trust me I don't do it for the money.

Let's learn together! Vamos a aprender juntos.
