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.

Certified Tutor

I love words and their power! As a result, I earned a PhD in English from Northwestern University and became a writing/literature professor at University of Arizona. The most fulfilling part of my work was helping my students realize that, yes, they could write their essays and papers!--even when they had been convinced they couldn't. I ended up teaching and tutoring many different kinds of writing, so I am able to "speak" business, legal, academic, and even creative writing. It's wonderful that I can now help students via computer, and am no longer limited to just in-person work. Writing is fundamental to almost everything in life, and it's my privilege to help students develop confidence in their own writing abilities.
