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.

Laura: Medford tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm a former philosophy professor at a community college and current lawyer who loves to work with teenagers and adult students on LSAT prep, world religions, writing, ACT and SAT prep, public speaking, and similar subjects!

I attended the University of Notre Dame, graduating magna cum laude with dual majors in political science and in theology. From there, I went on to Duke University, where I attended both law school and seminary, earning a JD and an MTS. After that I practiced law, taught philosophy and world religions at community college, ran for local office (I won, and served a five-year term), and worked as an online community manager. I love tutoring because I get to work with students on subjects I'm passionate about teaching, while setting my own schedule so I'm home when my kids get home from school. I live outside Chicago with my husband, three children, and a one-eyed rescue cat who thinks she's a pirate.

I believe every student can learn to write a competent five-paragraph essay! And if you're taking the LSAT, I am the logic game whisperer!
