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.

Dick: Sauk Village tutor

Certified Tutor

I am an experienced language teacher and learner, having learned Spanish and French, and having taught English for 25 years. I also supported teachers of 35 languages at any Ivy-League language center. Language learning should be fun but thoughtful, expressive of oneself but revealing of other cultures. I greatly enjoy guiding others down this learning path.
