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.

Marisa

Certified Tutor

I am an attorney and public policy professional with a passion for teaching and mentoring. I graduated from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2024 and hold a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service in International Politics from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service.

My professional background spans law, technology policy, advocacy, and legislative work. Alongside this career, I have developed meaningful tutoring experience at multiple learning levels. I've previously worked with high school students on SAT Writing, Critical Reading, British Literature, and essays for college admissions and selective summer programs. I have also previously volunteered as a reading tutor for elementary school students in Washington, D.C.

As a voracious reader and writer, I enjoy helping students break down complex terms and concepts -- and even have fun doing so! I excelled in English, history, government, and international affairs in my own education, so I look forward to working with students in these subjects, as well.

Outside of work and tutoring, I love to hike and backpack, practice yoga, play tennis, and savoring a cup of dark roast coffee with a new book.
