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.

Rachel: Rochester tutor

Certified Tutor

A communication scholar by passion yet a business professional by experience, I bring a unique skill set to Varsity Tutors. I have superb communication skills sharpened through both formal education and real-life application. Currently, I utilize these skills in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University as a MA candidate and researcher, as well as in my role as a teaching assistant in the Broad College of Business. I am also the current district director of MSU's Delta Sigma Pi, a business fraternity focused on building professional skills in its members.

I received my BA from Albion College, where I studied communication studies, professional writing, and international studies. Upon graduating, I worked as a digital account associate for a small company in Grand Rapids, MI. I worked my way up to a manager role, before leaving in July 2019 to further my education at MSU. A Michigander born and raised, I enjoy nothing more than spending time up north with family and friends (and a few good books). I have an adorable cat, Bellatrix, and am very passionate about health and wellness. I plan on applying to PhD programs this fall, and hope to one day become a professor and continue my communication research.

My experiences have taught me the key to success with any project or goal is effective communication. I am excited to use my skillset to help more students reach their academic goals.
