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 graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelors degree in the Biological Sciences (Molecular Biology and Genetics) and a minor in Chemistry. Currently, I am a PhD Candidate at MIT in Molecular Biology. I have been tutoring math and science since high school for a wide variety of ages and levels (high school freshmen through graduate students). I particularly enjoy working individually with a student to identify what they are struggling with and adapting my teaching style to meet their needs. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing the "lightbulb" moment happen for a student. I am interested in tutoring all levels of math and science. My top priority is tutoring the science sections of the MCAT and the quantitative section of the GRE, but I am happy to tutor high school courses as well. If you are interested, please let me know and we'll talk to see if working together would be a good fit!
