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.

Maya: Oshawa tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a recent graduate of Scripps College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biology with a focus in Microbiology. During my four years at Scripps College, I worked part-time as a microbiology research assistant. I worked with Bacillus bacteria and their responses to metal intoxication. I am always open to sharing my research experiences and stories with students who are interested. I am currently studying for my Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) and hope to apply to medical school next year.

I began working as a tutor my sophomore year of college. I tutor a broad range of subjects but mainly focus in Middle and High School Math and English. I enjoy working with middle and high school students but also have experience working with college students. I tailor my tutoring around a student's strengths and feel every student is smart in their own way.

I also have assisted students with college applications, admission essays, and improving their study skills. I worked as an Admission's Mentor my senior year and can provide insights into college admissions process. t

I love getting to know each of my students and their goals for the semester. I do my best to incorporate a student's interests into my lessons to demonstrate how the material is applicable to their own lives. At the same time, I love to use visuals to teach and have students engage in active learning. I find tutors can serve an active or more supplementary role. I let students decide which path they would like to take.
