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.

Karissa: Laguna Niguel tutor

Certified Tutor

Hi, my name is Karissa Lepley. I am a sophomore at Arizona State University's Barrett Honors College majoring in Global Studies with a concentration in politics. For the past four years, I have tutored students ranging from 5th to 7th grade in a variety of subjects such as English, Math, Violin, and Viola. I consider English, Writing, and Music to be my strong suits; however, I enjoy both learning and teaching history and math as well. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, reading, writing, music, and getting to know new people. In both my studies and my hobbies, I strive to exercise my creative and analytical thinking. Understanding the value of both these elements combined with my extensive tutoring experience means that I not only know how to teach the material, but also that I know how to communicate with students and make learning enjoyable. Although learning can be difficult and stressful, I want my students to walk away with more knowledge in the subject and more confidence in their abilities.
