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

Tutoring has always been an outlet Half the tutoring I've done has been paid gigs while I was in high school, and the other half has been tutoring Philadelphia high school students while in college at the University of Pennsylvania. At the University of Pennsylvania, I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Communications. I have a plethora of experience tutoring kids in subjects from English to math to writing to history. I'm especially adept at tutoring algebra and writing, and I love to tutor algebra. I also have top-notch test scores and can help your child learn the best test-taking strategies. More than anything, though, I love tutoring because I like to help people break down complicated concepts and simplify them to help foster a stronger overall understanding. Watching a student's face the moment a concept "clicks" is unbeatable. Because of that, my teaching style is one mired in patience and adaptability. I want to be patient while the student wraps their head around a concept, and adapt to their specific learning ability. Outside of tutoring, I work in legislation and spend my days researching policy.
