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: Newark tutor

Certified Tutor

I have been a private tutor since 2008 when I worked full-time at Brown University. Specifically, I worked with Fulbright and Rhodes candidates who were seeking to refine their applications. Writing is my expertise and passion - from editing your research paper to helping you with your college essay/creative writing assignments. I will teach you how to effectively craft a story and edit/proofread yourself. As a writer, my specialty is in advanced grammar, language, and writing mechanics --which seems to be missing from students' academic curriculum.

I also tutor SAT Reading/ACT, PSAT prep, history, reading comprehension, effective study skills for standardized tests (it is a skill!). I also teach marketing and high school English.

I have a B.A. in Art History from Fordham University (2007) and an M.A. in Art History from Brooklyn College (2012)

Let's make the art and science of learning an enjoyable new discovery - together!
