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.

Kira

Certified Tutor

I graduated in 2013 from Oberlin College in Ohio, with a B.A. in Politics and American Studies. While at Oberlin, I worked in the College Writing Center, assisting students in planning, writing, and revising their essays and assignments. I also tutored reading and writing in a 6th grade language arts classroom at the local middle school, as well as teaching an English as a Second Language class to adult learners. I am passionate about education and supporting students of all backgrounds and ages. My favorite subjects to tutor are Literature, English, and History - I love watching words come alive for my students. I try to come to each tutoring session with a plan that leaves room for each individual student's skills, personality, and needs. In my spare time, I like to explore the beautiful city we live in, read books, watch baseball, and spend time outdoors.
