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.

Liann: Villa Park tutor

Certified Tutor

I recently graduated cum laude from Smith College with a major in East Asian Studies and a concentration in Translation Studies. The study of foreign language is my passion. I have dedicated much of my academic career to Mandarin Chinese and French, having studied both languages for over 7 years. I spent half of my gap year in Grenoble, France and studied abroad in Beijing, China during my time as an undergrad at Smith.

In addition to simply studying foreign languages, I also have a background in linguistics, which has helped me to successfully intern as a Chinese classroom assistant and a Chinese language instructor at the Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion Charter School and the Campus School of Smith College respectively.
