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.

Tarah

Certified Tutor

I am originally from Indiana, where I taught English and Drama for four years. My interest in online tutoring began when I decided to change careers and become a freelance UX/curriculum designer. Working as a tutor will enable me to spend more time achieving these goals while still getting my "teaching fix". As a Chicago resident for the last two years, I have enjoyed making friends from all walks of life. What I love about Chicago is that it has the opportunity to surprise me at every turn while still maintaining a real Midwestern charm.
