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.

Charissa: Petaluma tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Hunter College where I received my Master's of Science in Education with a focus on adolescent education and Students with Disabilities. I have been teaching for over 6 years in Manhattan, NY. While I teach middle school math, I am certified and have also taught middle school science, English Language Arts, and Social Studies. I have tutored several of my former students in Algebra I, Living Environment, and Biology, each of which went on to pass their Regents exams. I have experience also working with younger students, as I have taught both 3rd and 1st grade classes. My goal is to help my students find the joy in learning as they discover their strengthsand develop the areas they struggle in. In my spare time I love running, working out, reading, watching sports (basketball & football), and cooking.
