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.

Scout: South Holland tutor

Certified Tutor

I am currently earning my Master's degree at Columbia University studying pre-modern Chinese Literature. I have been learning Mandarin since childhood and have taught beginner Chinese for a few years. I have also tutored college level English through Columbia's American Language Program. My students saw a dramatic increase in not only their writing abilities, but also their grades for each of the essays I helped them edit. I am a strong believer in pursuing higher education not only for professional or career purposes, but also for continuing to nurture one's intellectual curiosity. When I have free time, I enjoy spending time with friends, traveling around the world (Spain is my next destination on my list) and ballet.
